Praia do Canal Nature Retreat PORTUGAL
Praia do Canal is a magical place that aims to represent a slower, more considered lifestyle, where one can reconnect to nature’s rhythm and remember that life’s greatest pleasures are often the simplest. This unique property offers more than 500
acres of pure, untouched nature, stretching from a plateau to the wild Atlantic Ocean, where waves break on the shore of Praia do Canal beach. The hotel comprises 56 rooms and suites, making it the perfect destination for everyone from solo travellers and couples to families. The rooms have spacious balconies or terraces with direct access to semi-private garden areas, offering panoramic views over the valley to the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel’s luxury spa comes with heated indoor
and outdoor swimming pools, two massage rooms, a hammam and a Finnish sauna. There’s also a bio sauna with 70% humidity, an indoor and outdoor relaxation zone, a cold plunge tank and an ice water bucket. The nearby Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina Natural Park is a beautifully preserved
stretch of protected coastline, covering more than 60 miles of unspoiled white sand beaches and stunning limestone cliffs. A true wildlife sanctuary, this park offers majestic natural scenery. Peace and tranquillity reign supreme here, with the silence broken only by the sounds of birds singing and the crashing of waves on the pristine beaches. This magnificent, uncrowded coastal strip is
one of the last remaining wild coastal zones in Europe and one of the most beautiful in the world. The shore is made up of a seemingly endless series of beaches, ranging from long swathes of sand stretching into the distance to tiny, sheltered coves that are waiting to be explored. Even at the very height of the summer season, there’s the opportunity to find near-deserted beaches that are perfect for long walks, sea gazing, rockpooling and sandcastle building. Declared a protected area in 1995, the park is
famous for its rich fauna and flora. An impressive 750 plant species have been identified here, 12 of which are found nowhere else in the world.
