Spacious though spartan townhouses. We had way too much room as a couple, but it was nice to have our own bathrooms! Clean and very pretty bathroom tiles. A convenient shuttle will take you to the town/beach and back.

A Hidden Gem From the moment we arrived at reception, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine welcome. It was clear right away that the staff truly enjoy what they do. We were a large group of 14 staying across different villas, yet the reception team made every single one of us feel special. The drivers were excellent, always asking how our day had been as they took us up and down. A special mention goes to the minivan driver (unfortunately we didn’t catch his name) who drove us into Lagos a few times he was outstanding. Villas : We stayed in four different types of villas, ranging from two- to three-bedroom options, with pool views, sea views, and garden views. All of them were spotless, well-maintained, and stocked with essential pots, pans, and utensils. Bathrooms came supplied with toilet tissue and L’Occitane shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand wash. The kitchens included a small amount of dishwashing liquid and pods, plus a washing machine for convenience. Bedding was changed every three days, and the rooms were tidied and beds made daily. Outdoor space was another highlight. In our three-bedroom villa, we had three balconies furnished with tables, chairs, and loungers, plus a roof terrace offering beautiful views. The Area: The grounds are beautifully maintained, and Nau Salema Village sits on a hill overlooking the sea. The hill is quite steep great if you enjoy a workout. Walking down is easy, but walking up feels like a session at the gym! ( We did it once) Thankfully, reception provides free transport up and down the hill, and we rarely waited more than a few minutes for a driver. For trips further a field, the hotel offers a transportation service to Lagos (€35 in September 2025). If no vehicle is available, they’ll happily arrange a local taxi. Dining & Amenities: There’s a small café by the pool. Although I didn’t use it myself, members of our group enjoyed burgers, chips, and sandwiches there, all of which they said were very tasty. The fresh orange juice was also a hit. Within the village itself, there are several restaurants. We dined at My Sushi and Aqua Na Bocca. The staff at My Sushi were very welcoming. There are also two grocery stores for essentials. The Beach: The beach here is absolutely gorgeous, with soft sand and stunning scenery. Overall: If you’re looking for a relaxing holiday or break, Nau Salema Village is a fantastic choice. Between the warm hospitality, well-kept villas, convenient services, and beautiful surroundings, it’s hard to imagine a better spot to unwind

Really fabulous staff at NAU Salema. In particular I would like to say how incredibly helpful and responsive the staff team were. In addition our villa was fabulous. Thank you!

We were here for four nights. This was a return trip for us, and our last. The experience seven years ago was excellent. Now the place is showing its age, the experience is one of being nickel and dimed, and the staff were not the friendly Portuguese we found at each of the other four accommodations we enjoyed on our trip. From excellence to mediocrity, too bad. See my comments on the rooms. In short, bad pillows make for a bad sleep, and a good bed is the primary mission of any accommodation business.

Fantastic place to stay! The Villas feel like luxury air b and bs, really quiet and private The reception staff could not have been more accomodating and helpful Love the free shuttles provided by the hotel to and from the beach as the hill was too much to walk Really clean, comfortable beds and fully equipped kitchen! Only downside was the cleaners left our ground floor back doors open which we reported to reception as anyone could have entered so monitor this!

Nau Salema Beach Village far exceeded our expectations. I want to to express a special thanks to Thiago, Miguel, Tobias and the rest of the team for making us feel so welcome. You catered to our needs (14 people), was always willing to assist us and made our stay so enjoyable and memorable.The shuttle service Nau Salema Beach provides was excellent. Our group will always remember our visit to Salema and we hope to return soon. Nau Salema Beach Village is perfect for large groups, families or anyone wishing to experience a 5 star experience.

I loved my stay at this place lovely and welcoming rooms big kitchen big living room and nice bedrooms and bathrooms pool and outside area were good and great for a family of 4, overall great stay will look to return in the future.

The best beach we saw in our Portugal road trip. What a cool place! Small parking, ATM and shop present. You can rent surfing gear too. Easy drive from Vila de Bispo. Was here about 8 AM so there was fog, is probably better views later in the day.

Like walking on Mars’s surface. You can easily spent the day here. Late September was a great time to visit. Parking is probably an issue in peak season.

One of the greatest scenarios I have ever experienced! Perfect for kids to run around in the sand and perfect for surfers as well!

Praia da Cordoama is a must-visit when you’re in Portugal. The view from the miradouro is exceptional, especially at sunset. It’s good to have a car to get around this area because it is more difficult to access on foot. But it is definitely worth it!!

We found this beach quite by accident and we loved it. It was at least 400-500 feet from the cliff face to the waters edge and the sand was quite firm so very easy to walk on. This beach was enormous and relatively empty, I joked about it later by saying they averaged 1 person per acre and the noise from the waves was delightful. There were maybe 20 surfers of varying skill levels to match the variety of waves that came in on long swells, some only a couple of feet high and some that I would estimate at 6-8 feet. I am talking about the waves now, not the surfers. Plenty of parking and a beach bar that looked inviting but I was the driver so I did not sample their wares. I loved this beach and that day it was heaven on earth.

Nice beach, big enough and good spot for surfing Not 5 star because the parking situations is bad

Stunning, surreal beach with breathtaking views and fun waves.

This is yet another beach you can come to with a car and park. Fairly big beach and a lot of space for privacy.

Great beach, especially during low tide. Lots of space, convenient access and good parking. Really nice restaurant that serves quality food - cash only but there is an ATM in front of the restaurant. The east part of the beach attracts some naturists but the beach is long and wide enough to accommodate textile folks, also families. We really enjoyed this place and after visiting plenty of local beaches this is in our top 5.

Beautiful coves on the eastern side (to the far left when facing the sea). Watch out for tide times though, you may get stuck and find it very difficult to find your way back or get in the way of the waves which can reach in some point quite into the coves/beaches. Naturist areas are those past the first rocks to the left. The wind got very strong in the afternoon and made us leave. You can park at the main beach where the restaurant is.

What a nice little beach near Sagres. A lot of golf surfers where riding the waves. The beach is clean and tidy. You can easily park your car nearby at the roadside. This beach is a favorite place for surfers!🏄‍♀️

A really peaceful beach right next to the Zavial restaurant. People were surfing here, and you can climb over the rocks to go further - if you're suitably attired. There is a carpal, which was full. You can sit and watch the sand here... there is a cove that the water does come into at high tide.

Great beach and cliffs. About 6 van-loads of surfers from local schools turned up but I think it must have been too stormy that day as they went away again.

Nice beach, but when the tide is high it is not a beach for swimming and chilling in the sand. But for surfing! The space to put your towels are limited and the waves are very strong. We left after a short walk. Mostly everyone was there for surfing!

We rate this beach three stars. A plus for the privacy but compared to the average beach in the Algarve this one rates lower due to the big amount of seaweed which has been left on the beach. Sunbeds and umbrellas are for rent. I recommend this beach if you like a small and private beach and dont mind seaweed..... There is also a restaurant on the beach but be aware they only take cash.

This is surprisingly quite beach considering how easy it is to access. There is also a restaurant next to the beach. Nothing extraordinary here.

Came in mid November. Very peaceful and uncrowded. Being in a bay, the waves were very gentle and I was easily able to wade in past my shoulders for a very refreshing dip. No services or bathrooms this time of year. Sand is not white, cannot imagine why that was ever written in the description, but it's a lovely beach and the water was crystal clear

Nice little beach with a restaurant. Not as busy as the main tourist attractions. There was a lot of sea weed when we went but it's a beach, it happens. The setting is beautiful, old ruins, eroding cliff faces.

Perfect little beach, clear water even when up to your torso.

Incredible little beach with a very nice beach bar. No elaborate drinks, but good wine and delicious sardines!

Best beach. crystal clear water. White sand no rocks where you enter to the sea. The restaurant is only minus due the unpolite service.

Beautiful historical property, with obviously a lot of information on Henry the navigator (because we recognized the name from the Castle in Silves) However very little transcription to English so we felt it wasn't worth the price Even though it was only $4 Euro for 2 people,

Unfortunately this lovely little, historically important church always seems to be closed. It was last year when we visited which is a shame because it also has a small museum and you could also get a coffee. Whoever is responsible please bring this place back to life.

The church is not worth a single penny, the small museum is okay, but as a non-native only if you ask for a tablet with a translated text ... if you want to see a nice church, go to Vila do Bispo

Great place to stop by. Little museum with not much information relative to the place but you can watch it by your own eyes. A pity that the sculpture of the was stolen 15 years ago.

Small but interesting Well worth the short detour of the main road

Very small insignificant church, and they charge an entry fee

A good find.. A chapel and a video in the main house with interesting facts about the Portiguese Explorers.. The small entry fee was worth the experience..

Good Feelings? Absolutely. Together with a hostel in Milfontes, this was one of the best places along the Fishermen’s Trail. I spent two days here and felt at home right away. The staff were warm, kind, and always up for a nice chat. Mornings started with real Italian coffee, and sunset came with a friendly conversation. I really liked it. Truly: Good Feelings.

An experience you don’t want to miss. If you are looking for a real guest house, meaning you meet very nice people, while enjoying comfort, this is your place. Beds and mattress are top ! Silent neighborhood, no noisy parties near by, only sounds of nature and animals, swimming pool, surf school, 5 stars breakfast and diners home made ! And every Wednesday is BBQ. It feels home when you are there. And, dog friendly ! 😍 dogs and cats are part of the house life

We had a wonderful stay at this hostel! My husband, our 12-year-old son and I felt very welcome from the start. We chose a room with a private bathroom, which was perfect for us as a family. The facilities were excellent, with a great kitchen, a washing machine, and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The atmosphere was one of the best parts – they arrange dinners at a very reasonable price, which is such a nice way to meet people (especially if you travel alone). Once a week there’s live music, and the small bar on the terrace is a real highlight – thanks to the best bartender ever! Our son really enjoyed it too, which made the stay even more special. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, and we’re really grateful for how well they took care of us. Thank you so much to the whole team – we would love to come back!

The most beautiful hostel with lovely staff and facilities. We stayed in one of the studios which was spacious and had incredible picture windows. Dinner and breakfast were available and delicious and there were loads of hammocks, a pool and volleyball court to hang out in. I'd really recommend staying here especially if you want to learn to surf, as the Good Feeling Surf School is just next door 🌞

Very nice, friendly and helpful hostel with a family-like athmosphere and the option to eat a delicious, freshly cooked, local dinner.

I Had made a wrong booking, After talking to the people they just send me the amount back. Very nice and understanding people Haven’t visited but I’m sure it’s very nice. Wish I could come. Thank you for understanding 🙏❤️

Wonderful place! Great vibe and great people, good facilities, clean, fun :) Just be mindful that the sunrise and sunset rooms are under the roof, very low ceiling and not very accessible.
