Underwater worlds, hot steam & cool cocktails

A rainy day by the ocean can be beautiful! Tailor a program that fits your needs:

With kids, we recommend visiting the Oceanario, in Lisbon. It’s one of the biggest marine aquariums in the world and it will open up a mind blowing underwater world to you: experience the deep blue sea from within! The area is also a good place for parking your car if you decide to explore Lisbon! Just use public transport. Find tips for Lisbon here.

If you are into sweating and drinks, we recommend visiting one of our hand picked Spa options! You might want to combine sauna time with fine dining and world class cocktail experiences.

Or don’t even leave the guesthouse: have a relaxing massage in your room, with one of our in-house therapists! Boil yourself some hot tea or open a good bottle of wine, meditate, read a book and cuddle all day! Check our options and choose your massage therapist here.

On a budget? Massages at the guesthouse are usually significantly cheaper than at any spa, whilst the quality is at times even better as former guests have let us known!

You and the Sea Spa – Ericeira

Closest to the guesthouse and easy to reach is You and the Sea Spa and hotel above Ericeira’s South Beach (Praia do Sul). Choose between dry and wet Sauna and a variety of treatments (not obligatory). A highlight is definitely their heated indoor pool, with ocean view, which makes it a great Spa-option to enjoy with kids too!

Whilst there, you might want to enjoy one of their delicious sourdough pizzas or just have some sparkle by the pool! The use of their spa facilities costs around €25 for four hours. Bring your own flip flops & towels or pay extra to be provided with such!

Eco-Boutique-Spa Areias do Seixo

Hidden in midst the endless dunes of Santa Cruz and a 30 minutes drive away from Ericeira  (30km) lies breathtaking Areias do Seixo Hotel, with its small, but magical boutique Spa. This place is all about Moroccan fusion, Japanese vibes and natural design! Visitors can enjoy the use of the spa area, with an outside pool, Finnish Sauna and Turkish bath and a beautiful tea room, as well as a range of treatments with special essential oils. Stroll through the enchanted gardens towards the dunes, in your bathing robe, enjoy an experience that you won’t forget! Tip: Their range of 30 minute massages start at around €45 and come with a free use of the Spa facilities for the entire day! RESERVATION REQUIRED!

If you are in for a special treat, enjoy a creative and organic meal in the hotel’s restaurant or have a glass of wine at their fireplace! Be prepared: prizes are not cheap in the restaurant!

Luxury Hotel Spa – Immerso

Overlooking the beach of São Lourenço, this place is a new gem that Ericeira has to offer. Whilst the spa facilities are rather small and simple, the highlight here is definitely the restaurant and its professional cocktail bar, Emme! Enjoy Portuguese star chef Alexandre Silva’s delights, which are based on the region’s recipes, presented in a new, exciting shape. Do not miss out on the creative mixed drinks options: these guys know how to bartender!
