Situated on sandy shores alongside some of the region's best golf courses, Dona Filipa Hotel has 154 guest rooms ranging from classic rooms to premium suites. With extensive facilities including two restaurants and two bars, a spa, pool, tennis court, beach club and kids club, as well as meeting spaces, this hotel has been a popular choice with leisure and business visitors.

The hotel is born out of history, first opening on Valentine's Day 1968, the same day as the wedding between Dona Filipa and John I of Portugal; a celebration of the union between the two monarchs and countries. It will undergo refurbishment and is due to open as a Vignette Collection property in 2022.
