What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Immerso feels like a properly secluded escape. It’s set on a hillside overlooking the Atlantic, just a mile from Ericeira.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The property sits just inland from Coxos beach and the world-class surf breaks of Ericeira's protected Atlantic coastline.
The rooms
Earthy interiors with cork-braided rugs open through full-height glass onto private terraces looking down the valley to the sea.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A central wooden walkway splits the heated outdoor pool, which looks straight down the valley toward the Atlantic.
The spa and gym
Treatment rooms offer surf-recovery massages alongside a Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, and a compact fitness room.
Restaurant
EMME
Consulting chef Alexandre Silva shapes the menu around local Atlantic seafood and vegetables harvested from the on-site garden.
At the table
Out on the covered timber veranda, meals center on wood-fired cooking and open valley views.
How it began
Architect Tiago Silva Dias embedded the concrete and timber complex directly into the valley slope to protect surrounding coastal nature.
