Eco Ultimate Luxury surrounded by the nature and waves of Santa Cruz!

Areias do Seixo Charm Hotel is a magical natural havan, less than one hour away from Lisbon. Experience creativeness, sublime comfort, relaxed ambiance, and a keen sense of style that seamlessly blends in with the natural surroundings of the land, the sea, and the shore.

This is the perfect retreat for anyone truly seeking a break from the urban hubbub and looking to restore their energy levels by giving themselves up to nature and the endless waves of this slice of Portuguese coast.

The Resort

Areias do Seixo Charm Hotel is a realisation of the owners Marta and Gonçalo’s dream, who had a compelling desire to create a unique place where they could welcome people from the four corners of the globe in a magical familiar setting.

Areias do Seixo exists in harmony with Nature. It was conceived and fashioned in perfect balance with its surroundings. This hotel is an ecological place that applies the principles of sustainable tourism: energy efficiency, renewable energies, and the use of natural resources.

Each room tells its own intriguing story. The restaurant transports you to a place where scent, taste and colour come together, using raw ingredients sourced from the bountiful Mother Nature. Let yourself be transported back to an almost forgotten time when “to feel” was enough.

Waves at Areias Do Seixo

Santa Cruz is home to a renowned beach break, a long stretch of sand that produces some thumping barrels and reeling peaks that can rival Europe’s best on its day. Home to a series of sandbanks and sand-covered reefs, Santa Cruz even has a sand-covered shipwreck!  Both Peniche and Ericeira are a short drive away for the ones willing to score also these famous waves or where the conditions are not perfect for the home spots!

All-year-round waves see their best conditions in spring and autumn when the swells are consistent, the light off-shore winds blow and the peaks get perfect!

The resort offers surf lessons and guiding for all surfing levels, in groups or private, through its sister Noah Surf School.

Why We Love Areias Do Seixo

The unique style of the rooms and villas, curated in all details, with stunning views over the ocean and the dunes!

You can walk through the dunes to access the beach and the many surfing peaks of Santa Cruz!

Areais Do Seixo is a charming hotel with a strong environmental awareness! We love the sustainability concept behind it!

Accommodation

The resort offers gorgeous double rooms and a Pine Shelter perfect for a romantic couple getaway and three-bedroom luxury villas, a great choice for families and groups!

The guests will experience a different journey through the senses in the Hotel rooms. Their elements include fireplaces, Jacuzzis, terraces, and unique views of the sea and the dunes. With their seductive decor, using recycled elements,  all rooms are sophisticated and each of them is unique in its style. The Shelter distinguishes itself from other rooms not just for its unique location but also for its direct contact with Nature, in a charming luxury tent.

The Villas are independent houses, located across the street from the Hotel’s main building. Here rusticity and urbanity come together seamlessly with the Atlantic Ocean as the backdrop! Seductive and cosy, the spaces are large and ethereal and include an outdoor pool and barbeque area.

The Cuisine

Enjoy a creative, organic, authentic, and lovingly made dinner/lunch at Areias do Seixo Restaurant! Here the Chefs cook with what Mother Earth naturally gives them, using flowers, bulbs, vegetables and herbs of the garden. The products are used according to seasonality, mostly are Portuguese and many locally sourced.

For a special romantic experience, you can have your dinner served in the beautiful Garden Dome, underneath the starlight, surrounded by sand dunes and pine trees.

The breakfast consists of a delicious buffet made from regional delicacies and organic produces from the vegetable garden, freshly squeezed juices, fresh fruit, a variety of bread and cereals, homemade cakes, yoghurts and jams.

The sister restaurants Noah Beach House and Noah Surf House Restaurants also offer a great alternative dining experience with the ocean as the background.

Activities

A great variety of activities and excursions specifically designed for couples and families are available at the resort. Choose between some active experiences like yoga, personal training, skateboarding, bicycle rides and walks or more relaxed ones as wine tasting, bonfire, movie nights and picnic on the sand dunes! Kids will also have fun with cooking classes, art workshops, yoga for kids and many more!

Wellness

Let yourself go, rediscover balance, awaken your inner wisdom and relax at Areias Do Seixo SPA, featuring two massage rooms, Sauna, Turkish Bath, and relaxation room. A world of unique sensations awaits you. All products are natural and the treatments use aromatherapy, phototherapy and essential and vegetable oils, which are heated to provide total relaxation.

Sustainability

Areias Do Seixo was developed with great environmental awareness, to achieve harmonious integration. The key concern is to cause the lowest environmental impact possible. From land to the table, the ingredients used in the restaurant come from the organic garden or are locally sourced. All types of accommodation don’t have air-conditioning, using geothermal temperature regulation!

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - I’m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldn’t have been more pleased with James’s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.

Giulia and James were always on line to answer any question or to give an advice. The Ayada resort is perfect both for families or for couples. We did not have waves as the season goes from April to September, but there are plenty options to have fun and good times. Highly recommended both Awave and Ayada.

The AWAVE team are knowledgable and helpful. Giulia is a very helpful and patient person to deal with, and do not worry, you can trust her. I had to delay my trip to Morocco due to unforeseen circumstances and Giulia was very understanding. I have just returned from having a fantastic week at Amouage in Taghazout. Thanks AWAVE!

Awesome holiday to Hudhuranfushi. Giulia was very helpful and quick to respond and overall we were very impressed with Awave Travel.
Lohi's is a private, on site, awesome left hander that just kept giving. Also had options of 2 daily surf boat trips that went to other local breaks such as Sultans, Ninja's, Cokes, Jails. The surf team are amazing and we scored great waves the whole time we were there.
Stayed in a Sunset family beach villa which was perfect for a family of 4, then upgraded for the last 3 nights to Ocean Villas, both great for different reasons!
Island staff are so helpful and welcoming, and there's a good variety of food options available. Lots of other things to do such as paddleboarding, jet ski-ing, spa treatments, yoga and amazing snorkelling - with sharks, turtles and rays! We also hired bikes to get around and do morning surf checks!
An amazing trip, thank you Awave and Hudhuranfushi!

We had an amazing time on the Mentawai islands booked through Awave Travel.
Giulia was very helpful and available at all times during the booking process. And we had the best time on the Mentawais on the Maki Boat. The staff were amazing. Raul the surf guide was very helpful, friendly and coached us on the waves. Kaique the photographer produced top quality pictures and videos from the water, boat and drone.
Overall very happy and would highly recommend it.

We charted Seafarer for a 10 day trip in the Maldives. We booked with AWAVE about 12 months before. James was super helpful, really responsive and just easy to deal with. We even made a very last minute change to go to the central atolls which he arranged pretty much straight away. The trip itself was unreal, great surf, amazing wildlife and scenery. If you’re thinking about a surf charter, do it and book through these guys!
