I like this kind of surprise.

By opening the door to my room, I am won by a kind of euphoria and I head straight to the window. I opened wide the curtains to enjoy the warm golden light of early evening, the last weekend of August.

Spectacular panorama for nature lovers ! A stunning 180 degree view of the Atlantic Ocean and Sagres cliffs. A part of wild Algarve in the extreme south of Portugal: the beautiful Martinhal Beach Resort & Hotel is located in a protected natural park.

Yes I love the feeling of being both outside and inside. The decor is very simple and stylish, with a 50’s twist and a Nespresso coffee machine.

But the icing on the cake: falling asleep under a moonlit night, lulled by the sound of waves … in an incredibly comfortable bed (lol). I tried to do a podcast, it did not work. Dizziness ! A thousand words: here are some amazing pictures !

Martinhal Beach Resort & Hotel: une chambre avec vue

J’aime ce genre de surprise.

En ouvrant la porte de ma chambre, je suis gagnée par une sorte d’euphorie : je me dirige directement vers la baie vitrée. J’ouvre grand les rideaux, pour profiter de la lumière chaude et dorée de ce début de soirée, dernier weekend d’Août.

Sublime spectacle pour qui aime la nature! Une vue à 180 degrés sur l’océan Atlantique et les falaises de Sagres. Une part d’Algarve sauvage, à l’extrême sud du Portugal : le superbe Martinhal Beach Resort & Hotel est situé dans un parc naturel protégé.

Oui j’aime la sensation d’être à la fois à l’extérieur et à l’intérieur. La décoration est simplissime et tendance, avec une touche années 50 revisitée et une cafetière Nespresso.

Mais la cerise sur le gâteau : s’endormir sous une nuit éclairée par la lune, au rythme du bruit des vagues… dans un lit incroyablement douillet (lol). J’ai essayé de faire un podcast, ça n’a rien donné. Sensation vertigineuse! Mieux qu’un long discours : voici quelques photos!

Costa de Prata, Portugal: Cliffs and Pristine Beaches

Posted on October 12, 2014 | Leave a comment

The nature, sea and light of late afternoon.

We cross the garden of the romantic beautiful Areias do Seixo to have a walk in the cliffs of the Costa de Prata. An organic chicken coop, where “real” chicken run outdoors and are fed grain, near an organic kitchen garden (picture below). The promiscuity of dunes gives a surreal touch to the landscape. The air is crisp.

We head towards the dunes

following the crafted signs of the hotel (above, pictures 3 & 4​​). As we move forward, we discover a wild part of the magnificent Costa de Prata. What a setting! Dunes shaped by the wind, short vegetation, porous high cliffs and the incredible light and sunset!

Nature, the eternal provider of wellness…

until we completely destroy it. Our species is so good at destroying all that is beautiful and rare … But that’s another story. While the light changes, we find the stairs leading to the beach, like a pirate treasure!

Motionless shape of a single fisherman

with his long cane in front of the ocean. Waves that break on the rocks, we silently walk. We try to avoid the darkness on the way back to the hotel and get lost in a field. A dog barks and gets closer.

The race to find the hotel before dark night, crazy giggles arriving up to the chicken coop. On the terrace of the hotel, a fire waits for us. I go to my room to shower before dinner.
