Alentejo Marmoris Hotel and Spa

In the heart of Alentejo, in the historic village of Vila Viçosa — roughly 180 km east of Lisbon. Steps from the Royal Palace, marble quarries and classic Alentejo routes, this family-friendly luxury hotel sits where marble is the region’s signature.

A one-of-a-kind museum-hotel set in an old palatial house and designed by Miguel Cancio Martins. The property has 39 rooms and 5 suites, many with private terraces and all with individually designed marble bathrooms — a clean, modern tribute to the stone the owners have worked with for generations.

The Stone Spa is literally carved from a quarry and offers 4 treatment rooms, an indoor and outdoor heated pool, hydrotherapy circuit, hammam and a small gym. Expect quiet Alentejo mornings, marble-draped spaces and soothing spa rituals for a deeply relaxing stay.

Flexible event rooms for groups from 10 to 250 people, plus outdoor spaces ideal for cocktails or coffee breaks. Add-on experiences for meetings include wine and olive oil tastings, cooking lessons and guided visits to marble quarries and nearby wineries.

On-site restaurant presents contemporary Alentejo cuisine crafted with local produce by Chef Alexandre Silva, paired with a standout Alentejo wine list. The dining experience centers around regional flavors and a dramatic single-block marble table that doubles as a talking point.
