Na Praia

Comporta, Portugal

Na Praia is a 113-key independent hotel project on a peninsula just beyond Comporta, set between the Atlantic and a protected nature reserve. The plan spans 340 hectares of preserved land and opens onto two kilometres of white sand, with guest cars parked at the edge of the site so the centre stays quiet. Founder José António Uva, the eighth-generation steward behind São Lourenço do Barrocal, cut the approved construction footprint by 80% after ecosystem research and put dune protection first. Architecture is led by Studio KO with landscape by Doxiadis+ and development by Estúdio Lisboa. Accommodation is split into 42 rooms, 3 suites, 63 houses and 5 villas, some with private pools. Five restaurants, a dune-set spa and resident-biologist walks keep the place rooted in the terrain.

Casa Amarela

Beja, Portugal

A bright yellow façade in central Beja marks one of Alentejo’s sharper small stays. Casa Amarela has nine suites, a spa, bar, outdoor pool and two terraces, so it works as more than a place to sleep between stops. Studio Astolfi’s ‘Raw Pop’ interiors give it edge, but the real draw is the rhythm of the stay: slow mornings, a wander through Beja’s old centre, then back for the Turkish bath, warm saltwater pool and a massage if you planned well. Beja brings castles, markets, cafés and a quieter kind of urban life. Casa Amarela lets you enjoy that without dropping the mood.

Andaz Lisbon

Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon doesn’t need another polite hotel and Andaz Lisbon understands that. Opening on Rua do Comércio, in the thick of Baixa’s tourist current and civic history, it plants 170 rooms and suites directly into the city’s daily flow. Interiors by Studio Urquiola avoid pastiche, translating azulejos, calçada paving and Atlantic light into a contemporary register. Upstairs, a rooftop restaurant and terrace pull focus toward Lusitanian flavours, cocktails and live music rather than sunset selfies alone. Downstairs, Andaz Lounge borrows from Lisbon’s kiosk culture, blurring hotel and hangout. Art by local and international names runs throughout, positioning the building as a participant in the city’s cultural conversation.

Rock Rose

Melides, Portugal

High on the hills outside Melides, Rock Rose trades beach-club gloss for a slower form of luxury built around restoration. Designed by Manuel Aires Mateus as a healing retreat for organic and silent living, the house sits within ten hectares of native forest and leans into well-being through space, privacy and bathing rather than spa clichés. There are five suites, a saltwater pool cut from lioz stone and a Roman bath room, all working with rammed earth, Venetian stucco and European oak to create a mood that settles the body. Wellness is present throughout, but in a natural, architectural way.
