Take a step back from the bustling tourist towns and embrace the local Portuguese culture in the beautifully traditional town of Tavira. The town embraces the country's history and the décor of the Vila Gale Tavira does just that too. Combining spacious accommodation and excellent service, this hotel is the perfect base for those looking for that balance between exploration and relaxation. Located close to the centre to enable you to experience the local cuisine in the nearby restaurants, but also within reach of the Ria Formosa Natural Park and the stunning views it brings, both are the makings of a fantastic holiday....

Tavira
This atmospheric city lies close to shimmering salt pans and 37 stunning churches. Take in beautiful views from atop a water tower and sample authentic Portuguese seafood overlooking the evergreen estuary. Nearby islands offer long stretches of fine-grained sands, perfect for lazing a few hours – or even the day – away.

Two sides of town
Tavira’s unique appearance allows you to enjoy two lots of the winding, narrow streets and decorative architecture. The whitewashed buildings gleam in the midday sun and you’ll find cosy boutiques tucked in alongside houses and shops as you meander around and soak up blemishes of the past.
Relaxed vibe
If you’ve had your fill of sightseeing on your Tavira holiday, then golden sands are beckoning. The beach is nice and wide, so there’s plenty of space for you to choose your spot. If you want to see even more of this glorious resort and its coastline, there’s a ferry to get you from A to B.

Speedy check in, and room was ready, even though we were hours early.
Rooms adequate, although I think we had one of the worst views and drab balcony
Pool area nice.
Bar staff lovely, and their banter was great.
We went bed and breakfast, choice each morning, was very good.
Hotel in a great location to all local amenities, including the local ferry to the beach.
Lots of lovely bars and restaurants within easy walking distance.
Will definitely go back next year, think we may have to upgrade though to a room with a pool view.

Vila Gale Tavira
16 May 2024
Would recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Tavira, which is one of our favourite places. The staff are very helpful and efficient and it is very clean. The pool area is very sheltered and plenty of sun beds available.
Breakfast has a good selection and the omelette station is very good. Although we like to eat at a number of the many excellent restaurants in Tavira by a happy coincidence we ate in the hotel on ‘Seafood night’ and were very impressed. This included oysters, excellent seafood cataplana and everything else you would expect. The desserts are standard hotel buffet but ok.

Great Location
16 Mar 2022
Ideal hotel near the boats to take you to the beach. Great pool area and comfortable and spacious rooms. Short stroll to the centre of Tavira and close to the food market. Good breakfast choices and the pool bar served a good selection of snacks. Quiet and peaceful area.

Superb holiday
08 Jun 2019
This hotel has everything to give you a relaxing holiday. It is very central to access bars and restaurants in a Tavira as well as the ferry to the beach. The pool is lovely and clean and there are plenty of loungers around the pool. Staff are friendly, courteous and happy to help.

Hotel a Hit
05 Jun 2019
Vila Gale in Tavira turned out to be really good choice for us with Jet2.
The foyer was opulent in its space, the pool was looked over by 3 floors including the ground floor. Breakfasts never failed. No complaints.

Good value. Lovely location
30 Apr 2018
Good value and location.
Clean hotel and daily maid service. Only negatives are lack of any long hanging space in wardrobe and too few drawers.
Walls rather thin so hear neighbours easily.
Would be really helpful to have info on reception
E g - weather forecast
Local events and amenities etc.
Other hotels visited do this daily.

Pretty Good

This hotel is excellent. Very clean, helpful staff, good food, reasonable prices for drinks and snacks, loads of sun-beds and a beautiful pool. Close to all amenities. Also very private. Worth a visit.

Perfect location and everything you need
07 Oct 2016
This is a spotless and rather grand looking hotel with a lovely outdoor pool, good-sized rooms with refrigerators, balconies, comfy beds and large bathrooms with good quality toiletries supplied. The breakfast buffet supplies anything you could possibly want, from continental to cheeses and traditional Portuguese quince paste to full English! The only thing I could possibly fault is the unforgivably dreadful coffee at breakfast, not sure how they achieve this when superb fresh coffee is available at any cafe or restaurant you choose to visit in the neighbourhood, and also at the hotel bar!
