You and the sea - Ericeira Hotel and Apartments
Contemporary surf-cool with a playful, irreverent touch. Think whitewashed walls, turquoise accents, and tongue-in-cheek signage. Not a luxury spa resort — more a very well-designed coastal apartment block with serious personality.
Book direct on the official site: you get free gym access, free indoor parking, 10% off spa treatments, and free bicycle use once per stay
Why It Matters
One of the few apartment-hotels in Ericeira with a full spa (using Voya organic products), both an indoor heated pool and outdoor pools made from repurposed shipping containers, and a proper restaurant (Jangada) helmed by chef André Rebelo — a sibling concept to the well-regarded Infame restaurant in Lisbon.
A 4-star apartment-hotel right on Praia do Sul in Ericeira — Europe's first designated World Surfing Reserve. The place runs 35 fully serviced apartments, from compact studios for two up to sprawling four-bedroom family units, all done in minimalist whites with light wood floors and splashes of turquoise. Cheeky hand-painted quotes on the walls, murals of sea creatures in the lifts, and a restaurant with direct sea views set the tone: casual, surf-inflected, genuinely fun.
Where You'll Stay
10 room types available
Duplex Three Bedroom Apartment

The hotel's largest standard unit — four bedrooms, a full living room, and a complete kitchen set-up. Designed to accommodate groups or larger families. Air-conditioned with soundproofed walls and private entrance.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
A partnership with Casa Luya — an immersive itinerary taking guests to meet local artisans in the Mafra region, face to face with ancestral crafts including ceramics and traditional trades that are at risk of dying out. A genuinely off-the-beaten-path cultural experience.
Complimentary bike use once per stay when booking direct. Otherwise available to rent for exploring the coastline or riding into town.
Available by appointment through the hotel.
Group and individual SUP lessons available on request. A more relaxed way to get on the water if full surfing feels like too much.
Ericeira has seven world-class surf breaks across all ability levels. The hotel organises surf lessons and equipment rental on request, and can include board factory visits as part of a package. The Surf Week offer bundles 4 lessons with accommodation and meals.
Creative craft sessions for kids and families. Runs every Tuesday at 10am from May to October. Kids make things, meet other kids, and come home with actual creations rather than just sunburn.
A guided rock climbing experience near the sea, with Atlantic views from the top. Suitable for various ability levels, bookable via the hotel.
The hotel has its own wave ramp. Group and private skate lessons available, with all equipment included. Once a month there's a free trial class — ask reception for the schedule. Open to beginners and experienced skaters.
Sessions bookable through the hotel, designed to complement the beachside setting — you're listening to actual waves, not a recording. Available as individual classes or as part of the Holistic package.
