Vila Joya is still heaven but this heaven seems to be a bit clouded now. As stated in the last review the noise of the music that came from Vila Joya´s beach cabana polluted the whole garden area that had been charaterized by calmness in former times. Unfortunately, the management of this small and familiar hotel, Joy Jung and Gerhard... more

Superb, spot with well cared for gardens and wonderful surroundings. Standard rooms are nicely appointed, though the space is somewhat restricting. Limited and poorly laid out/equipped closet space (i.e. all hangers provided were large, for men’s clothing, with no smaller ones for women’s clothing; drawers are very narrow and are good for storing few items et cetera). For a hotel... more

As you enter the hotel, you will immediately notice the Moorish influences in the architecture, but there is a strong oriental influence to the furnishings. As mentioned in previous reviews, this hotel is THE hotel to stay at whilst in the Algarve. It has atmosphere, personalised service, the most stunning location, and the only two Michelin star restaurant in Portugal.... more

This hotel is an Oasis in the Algarve, which is often associated with the wrong sort of tourism. It has its own secluded beach, all fabulous 14 rooms face the sea, the decoration is an Algarvian-Moorish style, which is cool and bright, the service is attentive (its PR is quite something) and food is state-of-the-art. This hotel happens to have... more

This hotel is undergoing somewhat of a transformation at the moment. An already fantastic property and location with the only two michelin starred restaurant in Portugal, it already has unrivalled exclusivity in the Algarve. Owner Joy Jung is adding probably the most renowned SIX SENSES spa to the property and is reducing the number of suites to 14. The suites... more
