THE VILA JOYA STORY SPECTACULAR OCEAN VIEWS Rooms & Suites Vila Joya has all the charm of a discreet, private villa. Every room & suite has its own unique view over the Atlantic Ocean.

Oh, and did we tell you about the breathtaking views? So, take your time to discover which detail would make you happy, perhaps it’s your own Jacuzzi, sun terrace, small garden or private pool. Or perhaps it’s a shower open to the starry night sky? The only thing you have to do today is decide. VIEW ROOMS & SUITES WHERE PASSION MEETS FOOD Culinary at Vila Joya Unrivalled in the world of fine dining is our daily changing menu. Chef Dieter Koschina has held two Michelin stars at Vila Joya for over two decades. Serving a flavourful menu with beautifully presented dishes, Chef Koschina and his team have made Vila Joya one of the most highly-regarded and sought-after dining experiences in the Algarve. Or, for when you prefer a more casual environment, there’s our deluxe beach shack, the Vila Joya Sea. Here we serve seafood and modern Japanese inspired cuisine — it’s the place to relax in laid-back luxe bohemian style with friends, family or simply by yourself. It’s also the perfect spot for lunch, a sundowner or dinner and it’s where we go to sit, gaze and listen to the ocean. DISCOVER MORE A gem by the sea BOOK ROOMS & SUITES BOOK MICHELIN RESTAURANT A PEARL IN THE OYSTER The SPA Whilst listening to the sounds of the ocean as it gently laps against the walls of the spa, you can allow any stresses to dissipate with massage therapist Pernilla, relaxing and detoxifying treatments. And breathe in the surrounds of architecture, interiors and fragrances that have been lovingly collected and curated from our travels throughout the Orient. If you prefer a more of a workout to work off those stresses, we have a fully equipped gym and also offer private yoga sessions, where and when you like; from overlooking the ocean to under the stars. However, if all of that sounds far too vigorous then why not do what others have and simply enjoy walking among the trees and flowers in our garden and then round the day off with a sauna, steam or what we prefer, a Jacuzzi and a good glass of wine. PARADISE FOUND In the garden of (almost) forgotten dreams Nested above the hidden treasure of Praia da Galé on the iconic Algarve coastline, where palm and cypress trees sway in the wind and the flowers seem to bloom forever, is where you’ll find Vila Joya. The luscious lawns, fauna and flora subtly merge into the natural rolling landscape of limestone cliffs and mighty sand dunes. The Algarve is famous for its light and unique microclimate as well as some of the World’s best golf courses. So let’s make Vila Joya our secret, we can keep a promise if you can. ONCE UPON A TIME. . . Since 1982 — a home, not a hotel Originally acquired as a family residence, founder Claudia Jung began transforming the estate in 1982 into the discreet hideaway that it is today, every detail still bears witness to her style and elegance. In 1991 Claudia brought in Austrian chef Dieter Koschina, to Vila Joya. Together they set about raising the culinary standards of the Algarve, achieving their first Michelin star in 1995 and in 1999 their second. Since 2003, Claudia’s daughter Joy has managed Vila Joya. Continuing her mother’s legacy and bringing her own love of art and detail, Joy has brought a modern influence to the established traditional values and qualities of Vila Joya — enhancing original features such as the Moorish architecture with sympathetic touches. If you have any questions or would like to know more about the history of Vila Joya or the story of acquiring two Michelin stars, please feel free to reach out to Joy or Chef Koschina.
