Full accommodation information
Hotel information
Set within a reimagined Portuguese village, Viceroy at Ombria Algarve invites you to unwind in luxury rural seclusion just 25 minutes from Faro airport and ten minutes from Loule’s historic market.
Despite being one of Portugal's newest resorts, authenticity is layered throughout its design with white-washed façades, painted-tile feature walls and vaulted interiors, all paired with contemporary high-spec furnishings that deliver the ultimate boutique retreat for couples, friends or families.
Choose from stylish standard rooms, one- and two-bedroom suites or spacious residences — some offering private pools — each designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The resort’s focal point is the sweeping pool deck overlooking the acclaimed 18-hole golf course, recently named Best New Golf Course at the World Golf Awards, with an on-site dining venue and bar that buzzes at lunchtime, over early-evening drinks or during live sports.
Dining is elevated across six seasonal venues. Start your day in Ombria Kitchen with a two-tiered pastry plate, a la carte options and terrace views. Savour delicious snacks, homemade pastries and local ice cream at Café Central, or indulge in fine-dining small plates and tasting menus at Solalua. Further options await at the Golf Club and several bars scattered throughout the village square.
Wellness and recreation balance perfectly here. The purpose-built spa, new for May 2025, features signature treatments inspired by Algarve botanicals, while the fitness centre offers top-tier kit, sauna, steam bath and an additional outdoor pool. Families benefit from a dedicated kids’ club alongside bespoke experiences — from shepherding with local artisans to guided craft workshops — ensuring every guest finds their ideal activity.
Room Options
Discover luxury guestrooms, suites and branded residences nestled amid the Algarve’s rolling hills. Choose from one- or two-bedroom layouts — many offering connecting rooms, integrated kitchenettes and, in select suites, private pools — for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
