About the hotel
Located just outside Praia da Luz near Lagos, Vila Valverde sits on a peaceful five-hectare estate overlooking the Algarve countryside. Surrounded by mature gardens, orange groves, and olive trees, the property offers a secluded rural setting while remaining only minutes from the beach and the dramatic coastline of western Algarve.
Originally a nineteenth-century manor house, the estate has been carefully restored and transformed into the Algarve’s only five-star rural hotel. Understated luxury, contemporary architecture, and personalised service define the experience, creating a peaceful retreat designed for guests seeking privacy, wellbeing, and exceptional hospitality.
Accommodation consists of just fifteen spacious rooms and suites, each featuring elegant contemporary interiors, natural materials, private balconies or terraces, and views across the gardens or surrounding countryside. Guests can enjoy the outdoor swimming pool, heated indoor pool, wellness centre, panoramic terrace, restaurant, wine cellar, and beautifully landscaped grounds.
What distinguishes Vila Valverde is its intimate atmosphere and seamless connection with nature. Whether relaxing beside the pool, enjoying modern Portuguese cuisine, cycling through the Algarve countryside, or exploring nearby beaches, every experience is designed around tranquillity and slow living.
Today, Vila Valverde is best suited to couples, adults seeking peaceful escapes, wellness travellers, and guests looking for a refined countryside retreat close to Lagos and the Algarve’s coastline.

Creator experience
“The peaceful atmosphere at Vila Valverde made it incredibly easy to switch off and simply enjoy where I was. Surrounded by nature, with beautiful views stretching towards the sea, every part of the stay felt calm and unhurried. The elegant interiors, exceptional food, and quiet charm of the property created the kind of experience that captures a more refined side of the Algarve.”
