Where Nature Meets Tranquility

Moments that last a lifetime

The Arrábida Natural Park was recently classified by UNESCO as a Man & Biosphere natural reserve. We stand, geographically, at the heart of it. This classification represents a most significant recognition of Arrábida’s intrinsic environmental, cultural, social and gastronomical value and uniqueness, globally. And it also stands as a commitment to preserve it’s uniqueness, in a sustainable way. 

We've curated a collection of moments that transform a simple stay into a collection of experiences that we hope will stay with you for a long time, and will make you want to come back. From adventures through protected landscapes to intimate or family encounters at our favourite restaurants, each experience will hopefully make your stay memorable.

Arrábida is not a common touristic destination, it’s a region to immerse yourself into uniqueness and singularity, with extreme value.

Nature Activities

Some are just contemplative, with some exercise, like walking or hiking while observing what nature has to offer. Others require some experience, or at least some vocation, like horse riding, canoeing or scuba diving. You can even go a bit radical, into coasteering, kite surfing, surfing or windsurfing.

Wines and Wineries

Nestled between the protective embrace of the Serra da Arrábida mountains and the moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean, the Setúbal Peninsula has cultivated a rich winemaking tradition dating back to Roman times. This unique microclimate—where sun-drenched slopes meet cooling maritime breezes—creates the perfect conditions for producing wines of exceptional character and distinction.
