Location and what's nearby

Known as the ‘Hamptons of Portugal,’ the surrounding region of Alentejo is synonymous with understated luxury and elegant country escapes. And with sprawling sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs and dreamy natural landscapes, it’s easy to see why the area is fast becoming a not-so-secret magnet for jet-setters near and far. Your stylish base close to Grândola puts you within easy reach of the area’s highlights, and the hotel is on-hand to arrange plenty of exciting outdoor activities - think horseback riding along the coast, kayaking on the Sado River, a thrilling surfing lesson on the Atlantic or a gentle paddle-boarding session in a nearby lagoon.

Further out, a breezy 20-minute drive will take you to the coastal town of Comporta, where you can kick back by the beach and dip your toe in the local foodie scene, while in the opposite direction Melides is the perfect place to soak up gorgeous scenery and savour low-key coastal living. And if your rural retreat leaves you hankering for the city, take a day-trip to Lisbon to tick off the capital’s cultural landmarks and bucket-list sights. 
Five-star booking service? You bet.
