Vila Joya
Galé, Albufeira, Portugal
Vila Joya feels closer to a carefully kept private coastal home than a large resort. Its small collection of rooms and suites combines traditional details, understated colours and Atlantic outlooks, with gardens and a spa encouraging an unhurried pace. Dieter Koschina’s restaurant is central to the appeal, though the accommodation has its own quiet character. Choose it for an intimate Algarve escape in which dining and the sea can set the agenda.
