Arriving at Reserva places a group in the heart of Ericeira, with beaches, restaurants and the Atlantic Ocean a few minutes away. Mornings begin with a fresh, light breakfast, while the town’s coastal rhythm shapes the rest of the day. Ericeira’s status as a World Surfing Reserve informs the hotel’s identity, alongside the village’s fishing heritage. Natural materials and soft tones set the interior mood, with handmade pieces by Portuguese artist Ana de Jesus of Fromhand drawing on the textures of fishing nets. The building reflects Ericeira’s coastal character and pared-back architecture. After time by the ocean, guests return to their rooms in the town centre, with the shoreline still close by when it is time to leave.
