Strolling along the beach

The dunes and the coast are only a few steps away as well as the vegetable garden. As the sun goes down over the sand dunes, everything slowly changes colours and becomes a bit more red or orange. This is the best time of the day to go for a stroll along the beach.

Another thing that you should not miss, particularly if you stay at Areias do Seixo with your other half, is the in-room Jacuzzi bath with floral extracts under the candlelight. Potentially one of the most romantic moments for people in love!

However, the most challenging but, in the end, the most enjoyable part of my stay was the ‘No TV’ rule. Yes you read right. There isn’t a TV or a sound system in any of the rooms. The only ‘song’ you will listen to during your stay there, will most probably be the sound of nature; the Atlantic Ocean, splashing waves, or the wind.
