At Vale do Éden, no suite has been designed simply for sleeping. Each one has been created to offer a different way of experiencing time.
Hovering above the River Vouga, ten suites invite guests to experience an intimate connection with nature. Five are inspired by the serene elegance of Arabic architecture; the other five celebrate the charm of birds and the forest, with four-poster beds that evoke a sense of freedom, shelter and contemplation.
All feature a hot tub overlooking the river, large windows, an outdoor balcony and surroundings where water, wood, light and silence awaken the five senses.
The main building houses the Presidential Suite and the Sultan’s Retreat, two exclusive suites set within the historic building, which also houses the reception, the lounge, the massage room and the combined bar and dining area.
For those seeking greater independence or wishing to share this experience with family or friends, Villa Brisa do Monte comprises two suites, a living room and a fully equipped kitchen, whilst retaining the same tranquillity and connection with nature that characterise the entire Vale do Éden.
There’s no one right way to spend your time here.
