Reinventing the hospitality industry to make it more sustainable and to offer guests an unforgettable experience… This appealing concept has grown throughout the world, and many initiatives are launched to offer eco-friendly stays. An hour’s drive away north of Lisbon, it is on the Atlantic coast, in a small seaside town called Santa Cruz, that the Areias do Seixo hotel, a green eldorado hidden between dunes and a pine forest, is located. Leading this project, Gonçalo Alves and his wife Marta have designed a surprising and friendly place, far from the usual 5-star standards.
