Set within the South West Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park, Praia do Canal Nature Retreat occupies a private nature reserve with wild beaches, dunes, cliffs and rocky coves in its wider landscape. Vila Aljezur is a ten-minute drive away, while Praia do Canal beach is fifteen minutes by car. Minimalist architecture and open lounging and dining areas shape the hotel’s shared spaces. For corporate events, there is a choice of indoor and al fresco venues, with a dedicated team helping with organisation. Azeitona, Medronho and Zimbro draw on the culinary heritage of Alentejo and the Algarve. The retreat also has Esteva Spa and an infinity pool looking across the reserve towards the Atlantic.
