Located in the historic town of Vila Viçosa, Marmoris Hotel and Spa is a place where Alentejo’s identity is expressed through stone, light and space. This elegant hotel takes its name and character from marble, a material that has shaped the town’s history and defines its landscape. Staying at Marmoris is an immersion into a quieter, more contemplative side of Alentejo.
The building blends contemporary architecture with classical references, creating an atmosphere that feels refined yet deeply connected to its surroundings. Marble appears throughout the hotel, not as ornament, but as a natural extension of the place itself. The result is a sense of balance, where modern comfort meets the weight and beauty of tradition.
Rooms at Marmoris are spacious, calm and filled with natural light. Interiors are minimalist and carefully detailed, allowing the materials and proportions to speak for themselves. Views open onto gardens, courtyards or the rooftops of Vila Viçosa, reinforcing the feeling of staying within a living, historic town rather than a secluded resort.
The spa is a central part of the Marmoris experience. Designed as a sanctuary of silence and relaxation, it offers the perfect contrast to days spent exploring the region. For travelers cycling through the Alentejo wine country, this space becomes especially meaningful, providing recovery, comfort and a moment of stillness after long rides through open landscapes.
Vila Viçosa itself adds depth to the stay. Known as the Marble Town, it is home to the Ducal Palace, quiet squares and streets shaped by centuries of history. Everything is within walking distance, inviting guests to explore at a gentle pace before returning to the hotel’s serene atmosphere.
Dining at Marmoris reflects the same philosophy found throughout the property. The focus is on quality ingredients, local flavors and thoughtful preparation. Meals are elegant without excess, rooted in regional tradition while presented with modern clarity.
As part of our Alentejo bike touring experience, Marmoris offers a distinct contrast to rural estates and countryside retreats. It introduces a more urban, cultural dimension to the journey, without losing the sense of calm that defines the region. Staying here adds texture and variety to the tour, combining history, design and comfort in a way that feels both grounded and memorable.
