Velvet Moon: Viana do Castelo

With its long stretch of wild and beautiful beaches, the northern coast of Portugal is a haven for sun-seekers and surf lovers. And just a short drive from Moledo beach (one of the region's most renowned destinations), this villa provides the perfect setting for a dreamy coastal getaway.

Nestled within a sanctuary of trees and offering views across the Minho river, you’ll find this home is designed with your comfort in mind. The light and airy rooms are complimented by minimalist furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows, while the peaceful bedrooms set the tone for total relaxation.

Follow the views outside, and you’ll find the garden welcoming you to enjoy lazy days by the pool, relaxing sunset drinks and al fresco meals that linger long into the evening.

From here, it’s just a twenty-minute walk to the nearest mini-market, while the charming old Roman Town of Caminha (just a short drive or energising walk away) boasts a lively promenade with an abundant selection of restaurants, cafes and bars – perfect for connecting with the authentic spirit of the region. And for explorations further afield, the coast is brimming with opportunities for hiking, cycling, wine-tasting and simply admiring the natural beauty of Portugal.
