Experiences
Located by the longest uninterrupted sand stretch of Europe, surfing in Portugal is possible all year-round. Whether you are beginner or advanced, we organise surf lessons in several neighbouring beaches. If you love the ocean, our team also arranges private boat excursions to watch the dolphins or discover the sandbanks of Estuário do Sado. For simpler beach days, we guide you to the pristine shores of Melides or Comporta. We also supply beach equipment and our nomadic basket for you to enjoy Pa.te.os’ taste for a fine picnic.
About 5 minute-drive from the property, we invite you for an unforgettable horse ride. In a postcard landscape, horses take you from the lagoon through fine sand dunes and in the ocean. Away from mass tourism, we also recommend you some trekking paths for you to explore the raw beauty of Alentejo. Additionally, electric bikes are available on property to enjoy trail biking.
At Pa.te.os we produce our very own honey. Nestled among wild acres of land, our bees gather pollen from various native flowers to produce an aromatic honey. We welcome you to take part into the process of honey making and see how we rely on our bees to preserve Pa.te.os’ local biodiversity.
The local village of Melides holds ancestral treasures of craftsmanship such as the arts of ceramic and tiles. Halfway between creativity and tradition, you can take private ceramic classes with local craftsmen at Pa.te.os. We also organise interactive cooking classes with chef Sergi Sanz. Finally, you can discover the finest of the Alentejo’s terroir while staying with us. Experience unique and immersive gastronomic lunches and dinners facing the ocean as well as Portuguese wine tasting workshops bespoke to your tastes.
Melides

Located south of Comporta, the property is a 5-minute drive away from the authentic fishing village of Melides. Known for its charm and authenticity, the village also holds ancestral treasures of craftsmanship for guests to experience, such as the art of ceramic, tile works and more.
Bordered by a turquoise lagoon and the largest uninterrupted stretch of sand of Europe, Melides is a preserved area. Set in this unique and privileged environment, Pa.te.os’ surroundings are meant to be explored away from mass tourism.
