Plan your visit to the restaurant Grand Salon

Although there are remnants of olive trees in Portugal from the Bronze Age, it was the Romans and later the Visigoths and Arabs that contributed mostly to the development of its cultivation. Discover the olive tree culture, the production process of olive oil and take part in a tasting of this amazing liquid gold – this is the best way to compare different oils and choose the ones you enjoy the most to take home with you.

Algarve Olive Oil – Visit One of the Best Olive Producers

The Grand Salon is located on the first floor of The Grand House, with a view of the marina and interior design inspired by the feel of clubs in colonial times. Here, the tastes, smells, sounds and sights of the Eastern Algarve will come alive on your plate. In love with Portuguese heritage, our chef combines wisely tradition with a modern touch. The kitchen works with farmers in the local community to source seasonal, local, fresh and flavourful ingredients.

At the mouth of the Guadiana river, where the river meets the sea, the Grand Beach Club is an invitation to idleness.

On the border between Portugal and Spain, the Eastern Algarve remains a well-kept secret. It is here, in the small historical town of Vila Real de Santo António, you'll find Grand House, bringing with it a revival of the splendour of the Roaring Twenties and the country’s rich past — a façade of belle-époque architectural details and furniture featuring art deco and colonial touches. Sip a cocktail in the fresh evening air and admire the fine mahogany bar with the sounds of a grand piano in the background; gaze upon the sailboats as they head down the Guadiana River to the Atlantic. Grand House is the epitome of a pure and beautiful Portuguese saudade.

A Natural Park since 1987, the Ria Formosa is one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal. A stunningly complex lagoon system with a huge diversity of fauna and flora, it is in a permanent state of flux due to the influence of winds, currents and tides. The natural park designation does not only protect local wildlife, such as flamingos, seahorses and precious birds, but also the small fishing communities who rely on traditional and sustainable fishing methods that otherwise would be lost to mass development. A visit to a traditional oyster farm is included.
