AMARIA IS A SPECIAL PLACE THAT SEAMLESSLY BLENDS THE OLD AND THE NEW, CONNECTING THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. IT WAS ONCE A ‘QUINTA’ (OR FARM), UNTIL ITS RECENT TRANSFORMATION INTO A BOUTIQUE HOTEL. THE OWNERS, DISCOVERED THIS HIDDEN GEM IN 2016, SPENT TWO YEARS LIVING ON THE FARM, LEARNING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF LOCAL TRADITIONS, THE VIBRANT COMMUNITY AND THE ‘MODO DE VIDA’ (WAY OF LIFE) DOWN HERE, ALL WHILE IMMERSING THEMSELVES IN THE RAW NATURAL WONDERS OF THE VICENTINA COAST.
INSPIRED BY THEIR EXPERIENCES, THEY DECIDED TO SHARE THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE WITH OTHERS SEEKING THE SAME ‘MODO DE VIDA’ AND THUS, AMARIA WAS BORN.
TODAY AMARIA HAS TWO MAIN BUILDINGS THAT OVERLOOK THE OCEAN AND HOUSE PRIVATE GUEST SUITES, AN APARTMENT AND SEVERAL COMMUNAL LIVING AREAS – A LOUNGE AND BAR AREA AND A SEPARATE CANTINA. ALONG WITH THE INTERIOR SPACES, THERE ARE SEVERAL OUTDOOR AREAS, A WOOD-BURNING SAUNA, A 20-METER SALTWATER POOL, A LARGE YOGA DECK, AN ORGANIC GARDEN AND THE AMARIA VINEYARD, ALL NESTLED WITHIN TEN HECTARES OF STUNNING NATURAL LANDSCAPED GARDENS THAT BORDER THE COASTAL PATHWAYS AND BEACHES.
LOCATED IN THE COSTA VICENTINA NATURAL PARK, A PROTECTED NATURE RESERVE THAT COVERS OVER 90,000 HECTARES OF ATLANTIC COASTLINE AND OCEAN.
AMARIA SITS IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE PARK. ONLY 480 METERS FROM A SECLUDED, WILD BEACH, 3KM FROM ODECEIXE AND 10KM FROM ALJEZUR. IN ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING UNTOUCHED REGIONS OF WESTERN EUROPE. HERE THE LAND RISES UP FROM THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AND FALLS BACK ONTO THE MOUNTAINS OF MONCHIQUE. THE REGION HAS A RICH HISTORY DATING BACK TO THE 10TH CENTURY AND IS A HUB OF AUTHENTIC PORTUGUESE TRADITION, AGRICULTURE, AND COMMUNITY.
TO BE HERE, SURROUNDED BY THE SIGHTS, SOUNDS, SCENTS AND COLORS, IS AN EXPERIENCE THAT STIRS THE SENSES AND RECONNECTS US TO A NATURAL SIMPLICITY THAT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY RARE TODAY.
IT’S A PLACE OF STILLNESS AND TRANQUILITY, WHERE YOU CAN UNPLUG, RELAX, AND RECHARGE, AND, IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE RAW NATURAL BEAUTY OF OUR BEAUTIFUL COASTAL REGION.
