Set on a 14th-century farm estate with its own vineyard and winery, the spa at Torre de Palma Wine Hotel combines vinotherapy treatments with the estate's working wine production and Lusitano horse stables.
The spa at Torre de Palma Wine Hotel sits on a working 14th-century farm estate near Monforte in northern Alentejo, alongside the property's own vineyard, winery and Lusitano horse stables. Converted from the estate's original agricultural outbuildings, the spa keeps exposed stone walls and timber beams alongside its treatment facilities, pairing rural Alentejo architecture with a contemporary wellness programme. Signature treatments include vinotherapy massage using grape-derived oils and extracts from the estate's own wine production, along with body exfoliation and aromatherapy massages of 45 to 90 minutes. Facilities extend to both indoor and outdoor pools, a jacuzzi and a Turkish bath, giving visitors a bathing circuit to combine with a single treatment. Because the hotel is a working farm and winery rather than a large resort, the spa is intimate in scale, and treatments are taken by advance reservation; walk-in appointments are rarely available given limited staffing. Visitors often combine a spa treatment with a walk through the vineyard or a visit to the stables, and the treatment menu is reviewed with a therapist on arrival to select massage pressure and any aromatherapy oil preferences before booking a slot.

Vinotherapy massage and body treatments using grape-derived ingredients from the estate's own vineyard, alongside aromatherapy massage and exfoliation.
Are the pools open to non-hotel guests?
