Arrábida Natural Park | UNESCO’s Biosphere Reserve

A protected paradise

Just 45 minutes from Lisbon, the Arrábida Natural Park is truly an enchanted / mystical territory. Most recently awarded UNESCO’s Biosphere Reserve classification, it’s one of Portugal’s hidden gems. Quinta da Arrábida rests at its heart, surrounded by historic monasteries, castles, secluded beaches and renowned wineries. Here, each season brings its own treasures: spring wildflowers, summer swimming, autumn harvests, and winter serenity. And there’s so much to do and explore…

“Our favourite place to unwind. This is our second time at the estate, and we have returned as happy as the first time! It is a spectacular place, everything is taken care of in detail, and Joao is a wonderful host, always attentive and very friendly. Obrigado, we hope to come back!”
— Miguel Angél
"Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
