Viceroy at Ombria Algarve, the newly opened resort nestled in the lush hills of the Algarve, has garnered attention from The Times, which recently featured the destination for its exceptional blend of local authenticity and modern luxury.
Located in the Barrocal region, an area known for its fertile hills, olive groves, and picturesque traditional villages, the resort provides guests with an immersive experience of the Algarve's rich agricultural landscape. The region, famed for its green mountains and agricultural produce such as honey, olive oil, and local wines, offers the perfect setting for the resort’s serene and intimate vibe.
The Times article celebrates Viceroy at Ombria Algarve for reimagining the Algarve experience, offering more than just a typical coastal getaway. The resort is designed as a village with traditional white cube blocks adorned with Santa Catarina-tiled roofs and azulejos, inviting visitors to discover the authenticity of the Algarve while enjoying luxurious amenities.
With nearly 400 acres of sprawling land, the resort includes a championship golf course, luxury accommodations, 65 residences, and endless scenic vistas — creating a truly exceptional escape.
One of the highlights noted in the article is Ombria’s ability to create a year-round retreat, drawing visitors away from the more traditional beach resorts. Guests can enjoy a variety of activities, such as horseback riding through scenic valleys, ebiking across the estate, and exploring the nearby town of Loulé, with its cobbled streets, local markets, and welcoming atmosphere. With temperatures averaging 18°C in winter, the Algarve becomes an ideal destination for those seeking sunshine and a quieter, more intimate experience.
While the resort offers high-end amenities and contemporary luxuries, it also embraces the region’s local producers and traditions. From locally sourced cuisine at Ombria Kitchen to bespoke artisanal items like handcrafted Costa Nova tiles and accessories, the resort provides guests with a truly Portuguese experience.
The article also mentions the forthcoming addition of a full-service spa, as well as plans to host live music and other events, further enhancing the sense of community and local engagement at Viceroy at Ombria Algarve. With its intimate atmosphere and stunning views, Viceroy at Ombria
Algarve is the ideal destination for those looking to experience the Algarve in a fresh, innovative way.
