On water

Rivers, lakes and the sea

Water - a rare commodity in the Alentejo!

A stay on the Alentejo coast is a good opportunity to devote yourself to this element and to try out a new sport.

In addition to the rocky coasts, there are also long, flat beaches, and the surf schools there are geared towards beginners.

Whether beginner or advanced - SUP and surf sessions are adapted to your needs and you are looked after individually.

Sailing trip on the Santa Clara lake

The Rio Mira has been dammed since 1969 in order to supply a huge area with irrigation canals.

Now a young couple from Lisbon have started a new life & business here with two sailing boats. A great idea!
