Surf Holidays in an Innovative Sports Hotel Right by the Ocean

This trip takes you to the beautiful and natural north of Portugal. Your hotel is located directly at the mouth of the River Lima where it meets the Atlantic Ocean and next to the city of Viana do Castelo.

Viana do Castelo is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the north of the country, and its strategically valuable location made the city extremely wealthy in earlier times. Today, various palaces, churches and monasteries adorn the city. The highlight is the Praça da República square, the heart of the city. Here you will find the Misericórdia building, the fountain monument from the sixteenth century and the old town hall Paços do Concelho.

The baroque church facing the sea, which is venerated by fishermen, is of great importance. Every year on August 20th, the sea is blessed here in one of Portugal's most colorful festivals. People parade through the streets in richly decorated traditional costumes during the festivities.

Further cultural highlights of the city's exciting history can be found in the Museu do Traje (Museum of Traditional Costume and Gold Jewelry), the Museu de Arte e Arqueologia (Museum of Art and Archaeology) or on the Gil Eanes ship. The ship, built in 1955, is a reminder of the city's shipbuilding traditions.

As soon as you drive a few kilometers up or down the coast, you will find natural beaches and cliffs and plenty of open land. Here you can go for a wonderful walk or explore the area by bike.
