Ombria Algarve has officially opened the doors of its highly anticipated 5-star hotel, Viceroy at Ombria Algarve, offering guests and owners an unparalleled experience in luxury and sustainability.
Nestled in the scenic Algarve region, the new Viceroy hotel includes 76 hotel rooms and 65 exclusive Viceroy-branded residences. This new development marks a major milestone in Portugal's luxury hospitality scene, combining eco-conscious design with world-class amenities.
Portugal’s Algarve has long been a favourite travel destination, and recent statistics show its popularity is only increasing. The region saw 2.2 million overnight stays in 2023, an 11.2% increase from the previous year. “The combination of local culture, history, and natural beauty makes the Algarve an exceptional destination,” said João Richard Costa, Chief Commercial Officer of Ombria Algarve. He added, “Viceroy Residences offer a unique investment opportunity for those looking to immerse themselves in this remarkable region.”
Located just 2 kilometres from one of Algarve’s largest nature reserves, the hotel is also ideally situated for convenience, with Faro airport and local beaches only a 25-minute drive away. The historic town of Loulé, known for its vibrant culture and charming architecture, is a short 7-kilometer journey.
The resort’s amenities are thoughtfully designed to capture the region’s rich culinary and cultural heritage. Guests and residents have access to Ombria’s 18-hole signature golf course, a clubhouse, and a selection of six onsite restaurants. These dining venues showcase locally sourced ingredients, some grown onsite, to deliver an authentic Algarve experience.
Additional facilities include four swimming pools, a fitness centre, and a children’s club offering indoor and outdoor play spaces, including a playroom, mini kitchen, and nursery. A holistic wellness experience awaits at the resort’s Spa by Viceroy, which is scheduled to open in early 2025. This state-of-the-art spa will offer eight treatment rooms, a thermal pool, and salon services.
Ombria Algarve is deeply committed to preserving the natural landscape, a principle embedded in every aspect of its design and operation. Over 700 oak trees have been planted on the property, along with the restoration of 1,800 meters of river habitat. A dedicated plant nursery supports local flora, promoting the growth of native species to sustain the region’s ecosystem.
The resort’s design, guided by Promontorio, an acclaimed Portuguese architectural firm, incorporates bioclimatic architecture and geothermal energy, with low-density structures that complement the surrounding landscape. Ombria’s commitment to sustainability is embodied in the resort’s slogan, “Carved by Nature,” and focuses on using local materials and construction techniques that reduce environmental impact.
With only three of the 65 Viceroy Residences still available, this project has quickly become a sought-after investment for luxury property buyers. Owners can enjoy the Algarve lifestyle while benefiting from a rental income through Viceroy’s management services. The adjacent Oriole Village, part of Ombria’s first development phase, includes 83 villas, townhouses, and apartments, providing additional ownership options with Viceroy management.
Ownership of a Viceroy Residence or property in Oriole Village offers access to exclusive discounts on golf and other hotel amenities, plus privileges at other Viceroy properties worldwide.
With its array of amenities and picturesque surroundings, Viceroy at Ombria Algarve operates year-round, catering to both short and long stays. Room rates begin at £450 per night for a Deluxe King Room on a bed-and-breakfast basis, while ownership options for the remaining residences start at €782,000 for a furnished one-bedroom apartment. Oriole Village properties are priced from €900,000.
With its opening, Viceroy at Ombria Algarve redefines luxury hospitality in the Algarve, promising an exceptional experience for travellers and residents alike.
