Originally acquired as a family residence, founder Claudia Jung began transforming the estate in 1982 into the discreet hideaway that it is today. Every detail still bears witness to her style and elegance. In 1991 Claudia brought in Austrian chef Dieter Koschina to Vila Joya. Together they set about raising the culinary standards of the Algarve, achieving their first Michelin star in 1995 and in 1999 their second.
Since 2003, Claudia’s daughter Joy has managed Vila Joya. Continuing her mother’s legacy and presenting her own love for art and detail, Joy has introduced a modern influence to the established traditional values and qualities of Vila Joya — enhancing original features such as the Moorish architecture with sympathetic touches.
If you have any questions or would like to know more about the history of Vila Joya or the story of acquiring two Michelin stars, please feel free to reach out to Joy or Chef Koschina.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Faux gras on the menu, need i say more. Seems the only way a restaurant can get a Michelin star is by serving tortured duck. It's not acceptable in this age of over abundance.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was our 5th and final Michelin meal during our time in the algarve. We ate at all the restaurants that were open and this one was far and away the best of a very delicious bunch (I understand that at this level things can come down to individual taste). The food tasted very inventive from our perspective. We loved everything about the meal and also enjoyed the cocktails and the wine flight. The view is perfect. The service was attentive and courteous. We will be back as soon as we can and will stay in the hotel.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wonderful restaurant. Have been intermittently in last 20 years. Chef seems to keep getting better. Don't know why it is not 3 star. Certainly better than many 3 stars we gave visited over the years

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's difficult to do Sea justice with words... but I will try!
Firstly, the location. A great view of the beach and sea in front but also along the whole coastline for miles. If you go for dinner, you will be treated to an amazing sunset.
Then there is the staff. Knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and completely unpretentious. They only add to the experience.
And the food. With the Michelin stars Vila Joya has, you may come with expectations, but they will not fail to be fulfilled! Each dish is not just crafted to look beautiful on the plate, but each mouthful has a beautiful combination of flavours. From melon gazpacho or burrata, to iberico ham and the wonderful varieties of sushi... I will leave you to discover the desserts!
So yes, a wonderful restaurant, but you really do need to visit yourself to fully understand just what a wonderful experience it provides.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Professional and friendly service, not the cheapest beachbar you can find, but a good spot to have a homemade Ice-Tea, fine wine or some sushi in style.
