Terra & Mar

Experience the captivating fusion of coastal allure and tranquil Alentejo countryside charm as we, both esteemed members of Relais & Châteaux and among the most captivating boutique hotels in Portugal, come together as friends turned sisters to craft an enchanting Portuguese getaway.

Imagine a place where time seems to stand still, your eyes entranced by the boundless expanses of the Alentejo, where daily life is to be lived immersed in profound silence. The Herdade da Malhadinha Nova, located in the heart of the Baixo Alentejo region, is framed within this time capsule that extends for 455 hectares. Immerse yourself in the world of wine, as you explore the vineyards, partake in wine tastings, and witness the winemaking process firsthand. And when night falls, there is nothing left but to enjoy the silence, encircled by walls where contemporary elegance intertwines effortlessly with ancient customs and the rustic allure of the Alentejo plains.

Ease of mind is a promise when staying at our Grand House. A veritable time capsule, it pays homage to the lavishness of the roaring twenties, evoking the sensation of a private manor rather than a conventional hotel. Overlooking the Guadiana River and graced by the Atlantic Ocean at its doorstep, this haven allows you to bask in the coastal vibes of the Portuguese Riviera. Immerse yourself in the rhythms of the tranquil East Algarve, where friendly faces and rich traditions invite you to experience the authentic Algarvian way of living. A special pleasure will be visiting the Ria Formosa,  Portugal’s most exquisite nature reserve and a true delight for all senses. If only there were a southern equivalent of the word hygge, someone once said about staying at the Grand House. There is nothing more to add to that…

This unique offer presents the perfect fusion of experiences, allowing you to savour the synergy between the endless expanse of the Alentejo and the mesmerizing allure of the East Algarve and the Atlantic Ocean. Discover the beauty of Portugal from both land and sea and create memories that will linger long after your journey ends.
