Season 2026, Vila do Ouro is open!
After a long and unusually wet winter, we’re happy to welcome guests back for the 2026 season. The first visitors have already arrived, and we’ve spent the past months quietly preparing Vila do Ouro for another sunny, relaxed and comfortable year.
What’s new this year?
We’ve invested in upgrades across the entire resort to make your stay even better:
• Newly varnished doors and repainted walls
• Former bunk‑bed rooms transformed into stylish double rooms
• some new furniture and updated kitchen equipment
• Combi‑microwaves and dishwashers in all apartments
• New bedding throughout
• A brand‑new sun deck at bungalow 8
• Fresh terrace furniture in the “DeLuxo” apartment sleeping 4 (see pic)

Record rainfall this winter slowed down some projects, so a few upgrades like the yoga deck and tennis court repainting will hopefully be completed next winter. But Vila do Ouro keeps evolving, year after year.
Ready for our 21st season
The pools are warm (28C), the garden is in full spring bloom, and the sun is already showing its strength. Guests are arriving with smiles and that’s exactly why we love what we do.
sunny, relaxed and comfortable year.
Would you like to enjoy a stay with us this season? We still have availability in May, June, beginning July, August, September and October.

After the rain comes sunshine!
In the Algarve, that usually happens quite quickly. The rain has passed, the wind has calmed and shifted, and the sun is once again drying everything.
This past weekend we received many messages from loyal guests asking if Vila do Ouro had suffered any damage from Saturday’s tornado. The answer is: no, we did not experience any damage, nor was a tornado observed here. The tornado was very localized.
It’s shocking to see how much damage occurred at the campsite in Albufeira. It was truly unfortunate that the tornado crossed their path.
Although tornadoes are not a standard occurrence in the Algarve, they are not unheard of. November is the month when such disturbances can happen. The sea water is still relatively warm, clashing with colder air from Northern Europe.
In the 20 years we’ve lived here, we’ve witnessed several severe storms. For example, the Lagoa tornado in 2012 — that same storm ripped the roof off Faro Airport. Or the flooding in Albufeira on November 1st, 2015, which was also very intense.
In any case, we hope never to experience something like that ourselves. Vila do Ouro is located high on a hill. This means we are safe from flooding, and tornadoes tend to follow valleys rather than hilltops.

A heated pool is a must if you’re spending your holiday in the Algarve in October, at least if you plan to swim!
We already had some cool nights in September, dropping to 12°C, and the shorter days mean that uncovered or unheated pools can lose up to 4°C overnight.

We cover ours every evening and heat it during the day. The past few days have felt like summer again, with pool water at a lovely 28°C!
As temperatures drop, it’s harder to keep it that warm, but our goal is to maintain a comfortable 26°C for our guests.

Oh, and did we mention? Pool heating is 80% powered by solar energy!

Summer is officially over, with the first night already dropping to 10°C. Fortunately, the days are still warm and sunny with around 25°C.

September started off colder than usual, but from the second week summer returned, just as it should this time of year. The Atlantic Ocean was also unusually cold, up to 4°C below average. Last week the water reached 22°C again, but today it has dropped back to 20°C. Autumn is clearly knocking on the door.

Now is the perfect time to start planning your summer holiday for next year. From Northern Europe, all flights to the Algarve are already available. Vila do Ouro is filling up quickly, but there are still many possibilities.
