What can you do here?

All kind of things. Whatever comes to your mind.

Portugal Nature Lodge is the perfect place to catch up with reading those books you've been planning to read for a long time. Or just sit and relax. Laze in a hammock at your tent or in a chair at the swimming pool.

For kids is plenty to discover on the terrain of the lodge itself. Plus playing Indian is very easy when you live in a real tipi! And of course there is the swimming pool.

A short walk will take you to the traditional Alentejan village of Troviscais. White and blue cottages and 2 cafes where you can drink the wonderful coffee or have a drink and watch the village life go by. The village is nestled in the gently undulating hills, often green with crops and bordered with red earth tracks, salted with yellow and blue flowers and set against the deep blue sky.

And a short ride by car will take you to stunning beaches - many often largely deserted.

There is a variety of walks from the lodge and in the surroundings. Plenty of possibilities for cycling and mountain biking. And of course the water sports on the rivers and the ocean. Surfing, canoeing swimming, fishing..., you name it.

We can arrange horse rides on the beach or through the mountains, and even activities like rock climbing and abseiling are possible. Dolphins can be watched in the Alentejo or in the Algarve.

People who seek more leisury entertainment will find them in the coastal towns of Vila Nova de Milfontes and Zambujeira do Mar with a range of restaurants, bars and clubs, especially in high season.
Every August, Zambujeira hosts a big music festival with well-known artists. It is called the Sudouest Music Festival.
In june there is a Jazz Festival in the nearby town of Odemira, concerts every friday night in the park.
Also for music lovers is the World Festival of music in Sines in july- only an hours drive north.
