Praia Verde Hotel, Castro Marim

There is a breezy, Mediterranean feel to this hotel in the seaside town of Castro Marim, despite its proximity to the deep blue Atlantic. Surrounded by a sweet-smelling pine forest, with a path cutting through the trees to the beach, Praia Verde is an untapped family hideaway. Staff are young and friendly; children don’t need to be shushed, just scooped up and led to the playroom. Interiors are simple and white, with wicker furniture and mosaic-tiled floors.
Pensão Agrícula Hotel, Algarve

This small farmhouse, once owned by the Silva Gomes family, was built in 1920 as a wedding present to the owners’ only daughter and it remained a working farm until 1970. After 40 years of neglect, the memories of those more prosperous times have been preserved and incorporated into the current architectural project by Atelier Rua. On the shady terrace next to the farmhouse, guests can enjoy a delicious, generous breakfast, or take other light meals by the plunge pool (heated in winter). All comings and goings at Pensão Agrícola are done under the watchful eye of Ernesto, the farm’s faithful guardian donkey, who – if invited – won’t hesitate to take a walk with guests.
Sublime Hotel, Comporta

Nestled on a stunning 17-acre estate, surrounded by undulating umbrella pines and cork trees, wild sand dunes, stunning rice fields and over 60km of pristine white-sand beaches is Sublime Comporta – a magical, unspoiled place yet to be discovered. Only one hour from a European capital, here wildlife is abundant, time seems to stand still and one is able to experience all that is genuine and authentic. Rich in cultural heritage, with a welcoming local population, great foods and wines, Sublime Comporta offers a combination of tranquillity and simplicity that is both addictive and inspiring, reminding us of the magic of experiencing more with less.
