Anne Semonin, 40 years of bespoke skincare

The Parisian house claims more than 40 years of expertise and a bespoke approach: every treatment begins with a diagnosis of the client’s skin. Its formulas are made in workshops in France, are vegan according to the resort’s announcement, and contain over 94% ingredients of natural origin on average. The brand says it is present in more than 200 five-star hotels.

At the Algarve spa, therapists can combine Anne Semonin products and techniques to suit each guest. ‘Our vision for the spa is to offer much more than a treatment,’ says spa manager Ana Pedreirinho, who wants it to be a place where everyone can slow down and reconnect with themselves. The idea recalls that of the Waldorf Astoria London Admiralty Arch, which entrusted its treatments to OSKIA.

Eight treatment rooms, including a private suite

The spa was designed with wellness consultant Greg Payne and opened in May 2025, with an original menu by Ignae, a brand from the Azores, and Oway, a Bologna house specialising in biodynamic cosmetics. It brings together five single rooms, two couples’ rooms and a suite, the Celebration Suite, with a steam shower, jacuzzi and private relaxation garden.

The online menu still lists Ignae and Oway facials; the Anne Semonin treatments do not yet appear there with their prices. The signature treatment remains the 120-minute Ritual of Love, extended by the four-hour Signature Couples Celebration, which ends with a cacao ritual.

Thermal pool, Vichy shower and a scrub room

The water circuit lines up an indoor thermal pool open all year round, an outdoor pool looking out over the valley, a Finnish sauna, a herbal hammam, sensory showers and a cold-water bucket. The spa also offers Vichy hydrotherapy and a scrub room that the resort describes as the only one in the region. A private Pilates Reformer studio, a yoga studio, a Spa Café and a boutique complete the offer, open from 10am to 6pm.

How much does thermal access cost?

Without booking a treatment, the thermal area can be used in two-and-a-half-hour sessions, subject to availability: €40 per person for hotel guests, €75 for outside visitors, including 23% VAT. From 31 October to 8 November 2026, Viceroy Spa Week offers 25% off a selection of treatments with the code VICEROYSPAWEEK; the list shows the 90-minute holistic massage at €190, the 120-minute Harmony ritual at €240 and the Celebration for Couples at €400.

Loulé: 151 keys and a MICHELIN Key

The resort is terraced across a hillside in Tôr, north of Loulé, and has 151 rooms, suites and residences, six places to eat and drink, including Ombria Kitchen, Casa E Fora and Bellvino, plus an 18-hole golf course. It received a MICHELIN Key in the 2026 Guide and Biosphere certification in August 2026. It belongs to the Viceroy group, which is preparing the opening of Viceroy Park Avenue in New York in 2027.

From €271 a night in a Deluxe King
