Boasting a large terrace with spectacular views, the fine dining Mirandus restaurant is the culinary heart of Vivenda Miranda. Using mostly organic and locally-sourced ingredients, Mirandus offers modern Mediterranean-style cuisine with an exotic touch, courtesy of Chef José Ramos. Perfect for a comforting breakfast, relaxed lunch or romantic dinner, the restaurant seats up to 60 people and provides a discerning and friendly service. The wine list features around 60 Portuguese labels and only the best French Champagne.

For those who are looking for indulgence, the luxury Wellness Spa Suite invites guests to relax in one of the three treatment rooms, where experienced therapists will pamper both body and soul with natural products by Thai brand Mt. Sapola. Using hand-picked herbs and essential oils, the Spa Suite covers 400 square metres and features signature treatments such as the Soul of the River Body Massage, a complete Thai-style massage, salt scrub and aromatic body mask, and the innovative Hot Soap Stone Massage, which uses warm aromatic soaps. Also available is a sauna, Turkish bath, foot baths and tepidariums, as well as a new addition, the rasul room.

Performed in a purposely built sauna-style tiled room, the rasul is an ancient Arabic bathing ritual that uses specific mineral-rich muds along with steam and heat to help cleanse, exfoliate, absorb toxins and improve skin and muscle tone.This therapeutic treatment is now very popular amongst high-end spas and can be complemented by one of the Spa Suite's massages.

This is the place to be this summer!
