Areias do Seixo

September 30, 2022

A magical place in a magical setting, Areias do Seixo Hotel is a natural heaven less than one hour away from Lisbon.


Areias do Seixo Hotel was designed by the architect Vasco Vieira. The decoration architecture bears the signature of Rosario Gabriel. Working closely with the owners, she accompanied the construction process almost from its inception. She is responsible for much of the interior design details. Isabel Schedel - whose touches are evident throughout - began working with us a few months before the hotel opened, as decorator.
The development of the hotel design has always considered the surrounding landscape harmony. Materials such as regional stone, pebble, glass, and wood prevail, with natural finishing touches and polished concrete. These materials and decoration have come together to produce a unique spellbinding space. This hotel is an ecological place that applies the principles of sustainable tourism: energy efficiency, renewable energies, and the use of natural resources.

The underlying philosophy consists of making the most out of what Mother Nature has to offer - whether it comes from the land or from the sea; to share delectable cuisine at a table "made with love". Additive-free, most our vegetablescome straightfrom our own organic vegetable garden, whose abundance of herbs and spices flavour our savoury dishes.



All types of accommodation are for non-smokers and do not have air-conditioning. The hotel's acclimatization system uses geothermal energy, to heat and cool the floors, taking advantage of the Earth’s internal temperature.



At Areias do Seixo Hotel, LOVE bedrooms are enhanced by the smells, the vision and the colours that frame their spaces. Each one of them takes us to a different world. Their common elements include fireplaces, jacuzzis and unique views of the sea and the dunes. The Love bedooms have private terraces. In Oxalá NRoom, you can breathe in the colours of fire and sea, inspired by North Africa... From the terrace, at nightfall, you can watch the magnificent fiery sunset hues merging with the ones from the dancing bonfire.



African inspirations, ethnic and recycled elements are the underlying design theme in nine TREE bedrooms, that transport you to a secret world of colours, textures, and sensations, with the dunes and the sea as backdrop. Set off on a journey to discover wood and recycled materials repurposed from the construction of the hotel; lamps and bedspreads from our grandparent’s houses; refurbished steel drums; decorative pieces from Morocco. The rustic and the sophisticated intermingle. With their seductive decor, the bedrooms are bathed in an ethereal glow that touches the Soul and stimulates the senses. Once inside, a feeling of stylish tranquillity embraces you! Outside, a wooden terrace with an uninterrupted view of ocean and dunes. Common features include log fireplaces, rainfall showers and sumptuous bathtubs with jacuzzi (most of them).



LAND room called Jasmine does not have a sea view, rather looks out onto a small private garden with olive trees and, every morning, a stunning new sunrise.
