A truly typical and unspoiled slice of the Algarve. Oozing rustic chic this hideaway is a place like no other. It’s really special. The boho chic decor, all whitewashed walls, woven baskets and neutral tones is complemented by fresh flowers, perfect service and the bewitching aroma of jasmine. Elegant wooden furniture sit under the olive trees, in the vast garden, where you’ll also find a lake home to koi carp and tortoises. Bougainvillea and fresh herbs abound.
A perfect blend of traditional and contemporary, the suites in the Olival building are spacious and airy, and even come with plunge pools. They are fun refreshing additions to the large adults-only pool, and main centrepiece family pool that all sit within the manicured grounds of the resort. Inside, local handicrafts add a sense of authenticity, while the interior designer clearly knew what they were doing, from the main reception with its soothing whites and woods, to the rooms’ crisp linens and soft cotton throws.
Indulge at the 77 sqm Master Pool Suite with its generous open-plan layout, wooden latticework, woven textures and welcome details like sun hats, Nespresso machines and well-stocked minibars. Perfect for those seeking privacy, the 147 sqm outdoor garden is a green oasis with its own terrace, dining area and sun deck.
The food is another great reason to come to Octant Vila Monte. Dinner at À TERRA is a delight. Don’t miss the tuna tartare, tasty ribs, rack of lamb or the classic piri-piri chicken. Even better, all experienced with some local Paxá Sauvignon Blanc, highly recommended by the super-friendly sommelier.
Breakfast is also a feast, from the buffet, with its quality products, and all manner of fruit, yoghurts and cheeses to the à la carte eggs, roast tomatoes and avocados. And, if you want to try your hand at some Portuguese cuisine, book a Chorizo Bread Making experience, a fun way to spend a little time creating the classic snack with Chef Rafael. From forming the dough to adding the chorizo and popping it into the bread oven, it’s a real treat. As is eating the end produce! The team are all on standby to organise your stay, recommending day trips to Olhão, local beaches or more workshops in-house to help you discover and taste the Algarve in a genuine way.
