Environmental impact

Located in the Algarve’s barrocal, the Viceroy at Ombria Algarve was planned with sustainability as a main goal.

The resort uses energy-efficient systems, bioclimatic design, local materials, advanced water management, renewable energy, and one of southern Europe’s largest geothermal systems for hospitality. These features help lower its environmental impact.

The Biosphere certification also makes the resort a leader in sustainable luxury tourism in Portugal.

It highlights the resort’s long-term plan to blend innovation, care for the environment, and top-quality hospitality.
