Guia offers a different pace - charming, laid-back, and rich in tradition. Just a short drive from the coast, this small town is best known as the home of frango piri-piri, the iconic spicy chicken dish now enjoyed all over Portugal and abroad. But there’s more to Guia than great food. Cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, and a welcoming local vibe make it a great spot to unwind. It’s also close to Zoomarine and some of the Algarve’s hidden gems, blending countryside calm with easy access to unique local experiences. Whether you're stopping in for lunch or staying a while, Guia rewards visitors who take their time.
You can also explore Vila Vita Parc's resort villas, granting access to the 5-star facilities and services from one of the Leading Hotels of the World.
