Located by the sea where nature is found in its purest state, the Vilalara Thalassa Resort, with its expressive but tasteful architecture, is a place dedicated to well-being and the senses. The resort is a lakeside haven of style, comfort and exclusivity. Guests gazing out and enjoying the setting will realise the resort’s true essence and magic. This is a fascinating place where every detail has been designed for the guest’s wellbeing. Situated on Praia das Gaivotas cliff overlooking the sea, with an 12 ectare area consisting mainly of magnificent gardens, the resort features 104 junior suites, 7 suites and 13 apartments. The low-rise architecture is marked by soft lines and colours, and appears to have been inspired by Gaudí.

Restaurant B&G serves Portuguese cuisine with a twist, featuring innovative recipes and low-calorie menus, and the Terrace Grill offers quality local produce. The resort features six outdoor pools and the internationally acclaimed state-of-the-art Thalassotherapy and Spa Centre, offering more than 40 treatment rooms.
