Private chef dinners at Albufeira's villa country
Albufeira's strip gets the headlines; its villa country gets the groups. Galé, Sesmarias, Olhos de Água and Vale de Parra hold hundreds of 6-to-10 bedroom villas, and the one thing they share is a dining table nobody uses properly. A private chef dinner fills it: the team arrives before the group is back from the beach, cooks on site, serves plated courses at one long table, and the villa is spotless by midnight.
Golf societies staying between Albufeira and Vilamoura, birthday weeks and family holidays are the regulars; one standout dinner per stay is the most requested format.

We're a group of 10 to 16 in a villa. Is that your thing?
Exactly our thing, group villa dinners of 8 to 20 are the core of what we do in Albufeira: one long table, a menu everyone agrees on in advance, and nobody doing the dishes.
