Located in the centre of the beautiful and historical city of Tavira, near the river Gilão, only a short walk to the local bars and restaurants and close to the indoor market, the Vila Galé Tavira hotel  opened its doors in 2002, providing quality service, rest and a perfect holiday. Of an  extreme importance to the city of Tavira and its  architectural legacy, this lovely resort was designed taking into consideration the nearby countryside. A mustard-brown and dark-blue trim, a tribute to Portugal's Moorish history, enhances the three storeys building, with a central courtyard  that features a swimming pool surrounded by palm trees, lawns and lounge chairs. In the interior, it distinguishes itself for its Arabic style decoration, where luminosity, ample spaces, coloured decorative pieces, and warm colours such as blue and beige, stand out, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. 268 guestrooms, fully equipped and tastefully decorated with terracotta-tiled floors with rugs, cream walls and dark blue furniture,  extend to furnished balconies some with access to the interior patio.
Vila Gale Tavira has two restaurants, the "Aladino Grill" which offers an a la carte dinner menu of grilled seafood and meat and the "Aladino Buffet". Also there is a cocktail bar, "Ali Ba Bar", and  a bar near the outside pool, as well as a wide variety of recreational facilities.
