Quick answer

NIT: Portugal Active Ocean Lodge

NiT features the Ocean Lodge: 8,000m² of private land, river access to the beach, and on-demand luxury services.

— Portugal Active Team · Updated Aug 2019

NiT (New in Town), one of Portugal's leading lifestyle and tourism publications, featured the Portugal Active Ocean Lodge in an in-depth piece by journalist Patrícia Naves. The article highlighted the property's location in Vila Praia de Âncora, set within more than eight thousand square metres of land and just 1,200 metres from the beach.

What captured the journalist's attention was the property's private river access, which allows guests to reach nearby beaches via kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or surfboard within 15 minutes. The article emphasised the experiential offerings that come with every stay: on-demand services including a private chef, massage therapy, fitness training, and yoga instruction.

The NiT feature brought Portugal Active Ocean Lodge to a national audience and validated our approach to hospitality: properties that are destinations in themselves, not just places to sleep.
