THE VILLAGE

One of Portugal‘s hottest tourist destinations.

Known as one of Portugal’s best kept secrets, Melides’ relaxed charm and golden sandy stretches are extremely enticing. Set in a pine forest, the village of Melides has become a favourite with the creative community, and is the perfect spot to rediscover life’s simple pleasures.

Melides & West Coast Gallery

AN INNATE CHARM

A short walk from the village, though the pine trees, takes you down winding sandy paths to the almost-white beach and glistening ocean beyond.

Recently, Melides become host to a few more famous names, such as Christian Louboutin and Phillip Starck, who both have houses there. However, its innate charm is still very much intact and it’s certainly an unforgettable place to visit that will leave you feeling refreshed, calm and at one with nature.

The West coast of Portugal in general is a real must-see: from Vilanove de mil Fontes to Costa Vicentia, the white-washed towns, aquamarine ocean and long stretches of golden sand shouldn’t be missed.

Nature and culture intertwine on Portugal’s west coast in a delightful way, and there’s a plethora of activities for an entire group. From horse riding on the beach, to biking through the pine forests, to surfing the waves, there is really never ad dull moment.
