Vila Vita Parc review: a luxury Algarve hotel that families will love
Vila Vita Parc in Alporchinhos is set in extensive subtropical gardens that bloom with palm trees and twitter with birdlife as they run down to a secluded sandy beach at the foot of the cliffs. You could easily do nothing much at all here — summoning another glass of local wine to your daybed by the infinity pool while debating which of the 12 restaurants to visit for dinner, perhaps — although there is a full suite of sports facilities on site as well as a fabulous Sisley spa. This is a particularly good choice for families, with warm and friendly service, spacious accommodation, car-free grounds and children's menus that offer a cut above the usual beige fare in all the restaurants. This article contains affiliate links, which may earn us revenue Score 9/10Scattered around the lush gardens, the 203 rooms are set in low-slung whitewashed buildings and range from doubles with panoramic ocean views to family suites sleeping five. With a breezy blue and white colour scheme and glass doors out to either a balcony or terrace, there's a chic laid-back vibe and the attention to detail is top-notch, with plenty of cupboards and drawers just where you need them, coffee cups crafted by local potters and even teeny robes and slippers for children. Bathrooms are spacious too, with double sinks and walk-in showers. The seamless service really sets this hotel apart, balancing efficient logistics — luggage, cars and complimentary water appear and disappear at guests' will with glorious ease — with a warmth that extends to the youngest guests. Some rooms are several minutes' walk from the main buildings, but golf buggies can be summoned to zip you around the resort. Score 9/10Vila Vita Parc has a whopping 12 restaurants, from family-friendly casual dining to two-Michelin-star gastronomy ideal for a grown-up date night (the hotel's babysitting service comes in handy here). Families can try traditional Portuguese fare at lakeside Adega — with standout seafood such as monkfish and squid — or Italian at Giardino, or teppanyaki at Mizu (over sixes only). The Michelin-starred Ocean has an incredible tasting menu (over 12s only). For lunch, Praia Dourada is the top pick, serving josper-grilled seafood, curries and salads at the hotel's beach club (reached via free shuttle). With such a firm focus on food, it's no surprise that breakfast is first class. Served at the brasserie-style Bela Vita or the ocean-view Atlântico there's everything you'd expect to find on the buffet (homemade granola, flaky pastries, tumbling piles of exotic fruits) as well as tempting à la carte dishes such as eggs benedict and huevos rancheros. • Best all-inclusive hotels in the Algarve• Best hotels in the Algarve Score 9/10One of the joys of a stay here is strolling through the subtropical gardens, encountering swans and ducks, watching the water fountains and gently debating whether this is a day for sandy-toed fun at the beach at the base of the cliffs or a snooze on the day beds beside the infinity pool (over 12s only). Fancy more activity? There's pitch and putt, tennis, pickleball and padel on site and the hotel can organise water sports such as kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, boat trips to local caves and dolphin watching too (all for an extra charge). With its sea cave-inspired decor of natural stone and soothing blues, the Sisley spa feels like a real retreat, despite being right behind the main building, and offers superb massages. Score 7/10There's nowhere much you'll want to walk to from here, but the resort is in the centre of the Algarve, within easy driving distance of numerous sandy beaches and local attractions including the pretty resort town of Carvoeiro and the sea caves at Benagil.

Experts Call This Brown Mascara A ‘Minimalist Staple' In Spring Beauty
Clean beauty brand Ilia launches a new brown mascara this Spring 2025. For years, a coat or two of black mascara was a non-negotiable final step in makeup regimens worldwide. Besides a handful of specific cases—on blondes, for instance, or those going for an intentionally natural aesthetic—the high contrast drama afforded by jet-black lashes was simply the most-desired look. But Spring 2025 beauty trends are changing a long-held industry status-quo as brands like Sisley, Lisa Eldridge Makeup and the clean beauty brand Ilia have all introduced brown mascaras into their lineups. The brown mascara trend is delighting beauty consumers and industry experts alike, with celebrity makeup artist Carissa Ferreri confirming that she has been reaching for brown mascara daily. There were signs predicting that the pendulum swing in favor of the softer looks of brown mascaras and liners. After Latte Makeup swept TikTok last year, celebrity makeup artist Allen Avendaño gave the deep espresso style a gentle makeover with the shimmery browns and champagne hues of his Iced Latte makeup, notably topped by none other than brown mascara. Ilia Beauty The brown mascara trend has spread to various beauty niches, from the luxury sphere to the clean beauty sector's ingredient-conscious crowd. Back when Ilia's Limitless Lash Mascara, $29, first launched seven years ago, it was widely considered to be clean beauty's best mascara to-date—particularly for those favoring soft, fluttery lash aesthetics. The clean brand's fans were unambiguous in their desire for a clean brown mascara to launch. 'Our customers strongly expressed the need for a brown mascara, especially over the last few years,' writes Sasha Plavsic, the founder of Ilia Beauty, in an e-mail to In the last year alone, she reports receiving 'nearly 1,000 direct requests' for their cult-favorite clean mascara to launch in a brown shade. It was only natural that Ilia acquiesce with the rich brown hue, 'Before Dawn', now available and giving the 'clean girl aesthetic' a new, literal meaning. Below, learn more about the brown mascara trend and why experts call it a must-have makeup essential for Spring. On set, there have always been certain cases when brown mascara was called for as opposed to the traditional black. Makeup artist Diane Caranica explains that on blonde clients with 'softer facial features' or 'light eyebrows and lashes,' black mascara can sometimes look 'too jarring or intense.' This is especially pertinent when the brand, director or client is going for a more natural look, such as at beach shoots. 'Brown mascara doesn't look like there is so much makeup on,' Caranica says on a phone call. 'It just gives a nice, natural flow.' Occasionally, she will opt to apply black mascara at the base of the lash, but use brown mascara at the tips, in order to keep the overall look more natural. Celebrity makeup artist Natasha Denona also recently revealed that she sometimes uses black mascara only on the upper lashes when creating her iconic eye makeup looks, reserving another hue for the bottom. Ilia Beauty Celebrity makeup artist Kirin Bhatty, who works with stars like Lorde, Auli'i Cravalho and Jenny Slate, points out that brown mascara is also ideal for the daytime. She will specifically reach for Ilia's new launch when wants the eyelashes to look more subtle, or when she wants the eyeliner or shadow to stand out as opposed to the lashes. 'I also use it when I want the focal point of my makeup to be another feature, like the lips or cheeks,' Bhatty says. This has often been the case in her recent work with clients. 'The brown mascara trend really leans into the minimalist beauty trend, which we have been seeing rise for the last several seasons.' All of this speaks to an overall interest in playing with bold versus gentle eye makeup, and how this is achieved with the lashes. In the last year, some beauty trends even saw looks that forewent mascara altogether. But the bottom line is that as far as mascara goes, the color itself is only part of a winning equation. Individual preferences for relative 'tackiness,' longevity and viscosity all determine which mascara becomes regularly reached-for in your beauty kit. Those that seek lash volume, as opposed to length, might prefer tubing mascaras, like Sisley Paris Phyto-Noir Mascara, $85, in the shade 'Deep Brown'. But those in favor of soft, fanned-out lashes tend to prefer non-clumping or lengthening mascaras that can hold just the right amount of curl. Ilia Beauty 'I love a lengthening mascara that separates [the lashes],' Bhatty says, naming Ilia's Limitless Lash formulation to the the 'most versatile' in her kit. 'It's a beautiful lengthening formula that has lasting [duration]; the lashes look longer without clumping. It is a natural choice for both the red carpet and days on-set.' Ilia's formula also imparts haircare ingredients like Arginine, Biotin and ethically-sourced beeswax via a beloved applicator (they tested over a hundred wands when formulating). As for their new brown shade, Bhatty calls it 'very flattering' for all complexions in tones. As Plavsic points out, they sought a brown hue that 'was not too warm yet not too cool,' and that would suit any eye color and be suitable for sensitive eyes. With Spring's arrival and beauty's seasonal evolution underway, it remains to be seen whether consumers choose to stick with minimalist beauty's new must-have mascara. After all, the beauty industry is known for its ever-expanding options. Mascara alone has seen newcomers to promote lash growth, like Revitalash Length Define Tubing Mascara, luxury newcomers like Prada Beauty Pradascope Lash Lifting & Lengthening Mascara, as well as those that impart lash-benefitting actives, like Ilia's Limitless Lash Mascara. But while the verdict is still out, Bhatty encourages beauty-lovers to experiment using the myriad brown mascaras and liners that are emerging. She specifically suggests pairing brown mascara with makeup looks featuring 'glowing skin, a statement lip, a bright bold cheek [or] a brown winged liner—the list goes on and on,' she says. The good news is that whether you are personally a fan of volumizing or lengthening mascaras, or consider yourself to be a luxury-lover or a clean beauty purist, you now have plenty of options to choose from with even more to come.
