What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The hotel is set back from the sea in the quiet countryside, and its design was inspired by the layout of a traditional Portuguese village, with whitewashed villas outfitted by local artisans.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Umbrella pines surround the estate in Muda, with the surf breaks of Praia do Carvalhal a short drive away.
The rooms
Every room opens onto a private terrace with a traditional daybed, looking out across the gardens or the pool.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Yellow-striped parasols and wooden loungers ring the swimming pool, bordered by terracotta tiles and umbrella pines.
The indoor pool
Submerged hydro-massage jet beds line the heated indoor pool, enclosed by warm plaster walls under natural window light.
The spa
Two treatment rooms host holistic therapies and body scrubs made with local rice, salt, and sand.
At the table
Maroto serves contemporary Alentejo cooking beneath sculpted pendant lights, opening onto a shaded terrace through tall glass doors.
How it began
The founding brothers got their start with a Lisbon hostel, then returned to build in the pine forests of their childhood.
