Areias do Seixo

We have been coming here, to this magical place for 13 years, very soon after it opened. This place still is magical to us and we feel a sense of coming home when we arrive and a sadness when we leave. The rooms are beyond anything you may have seen before, full of art and quirky objects, especially the Love rooms that open out to the beautiful garden and views to the sea. Everyone at the hotel are amazing, nothing is too much trouble and any requests are always met with a smile. We shall return as soon as possible to continue our magical experience on the edge of a spectacular beach. Treat yourself to a few days of heaven on earth. Simon and Julie ❤️

Dear Marta and Gonçalo, Our heartfelt congratulations on the extraordinary haven you have created and the remarkable team you have gathered around it. Talent, warmth, and care shine through in every detail—and for someone who already knows the sheer beauty of this place, that says everything about how unique it truly is. A decade ago, we stayed in one of your wonderful suites. This time we chose the Refúgio dos Pinheiros, and it could not have been a more perfect decision. We were surprised and delighted by its elegance, comfort, and originality—every corner reflecting the refinement and imagination that make this retreat so special. Once again, congratulations on crafting such a magnificent escape in such an unexpected corner of the world. We will most certainly return next year. With gratitude and admiration, Isabel and Diogo

I can't say too much as I don't want this beautiful hotel to be spoiled by too many people discovering how wonderful it is ......

I had the most peaceful and wonderful stay at Areias do Seixo. The property is stunning; beautifully designed with gorgeous rooms that feel both luxurious and grounding. It’s just a short walk to a vast, breathtaking beach, which made the location even more special. During my stay, I joined the Circle of Fire (a truly magical experience), enjoyed a yoga session, and absolutely loved both the breakfast and dinner menus. The farm-to-table concept is beautifully executed, with fresh, thoughtful dishes that highlight the best of local ingredients. The service was phenomenal; warm, attentive, and genuine from start to finish. Every detail felt so well cared for, making the experience unforgettable. I would definitely recommend Areias do Seixo to anyone looking for a serene and unique escape, and I can’t wait to come back.
