Vila Joya
Dining at Vila Joya | culinary refinement on the Algarve
During your stay in a luxury villa from PortugalVillas, you enjoy the very best the Algarve has to offer: peace, space, comfort, and privacy. But some days call for something extra. A special occasion, a romantic evening, or simply the desire to indulge? Then a visit to the iconic Vila Joya restaurant or the stylish beachside Vila Joya Sea is truly unforgettable.
Vila Joya | fine dining with Michelin flair
Perched on the cliffs near Galé, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Vila Joya’s main restaurant is a true culinary destination. Awarded two Michelin stars, this elegant setting is led by Chef Dieter Koschina, who serves a daily changing tasting menu inspired by local ingredients and refined European techniques. The ambiance is intimate and elegant, the views are breathtaking. Whether you're celebrating with friends or planning a romantic dinner for two, dining at Vila Joya is a standout experience.
Vila Joya Sea | luxurious beachside lunch
For a lighter, yet equally refined experience, there’s Vila Joya Sea — the resort’s elegant beachfront restaurant. Located directly on the coast, this stylish beach concept is perfect for long lunches, relaxed afternoons, and sunset drinks by the water. The menu at Vila Joya Sea is inspired by Mediterranean cuisine with a Portuguese twist. Think fresh seafood, refined salads, regional wines, and a soothing atmosphere. It’s the ideal setting to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the Algarve.
