Vila Joya

The ‘House of Joy‘ or ‘Jewelry Box‘ in the original translation, is a small oriental palazzo directly situated on the picturesque Atlantic coast, just like treasures, valuable and precious objects are put into a jewellery box. Vila Joya is a house of discriminating taste at a breathtakingly beautiful and privileged location by the coastline, where Moorish architecture merges perfectly with the fragrance of the Atlantic Ocean. Maitre de Plaisir in the fabulous entrance hall under its ornate ceiling invites you to experience the magnificent atmosphere of nonchalant elegance in the 12 unique rooms and eight suites, all with a view to the Atlantic. The sunny garden with palm trees, cypresses and beautiful flowers invites the guest for a walk or just to linger for a while.
