Quinta Camarena

Pictures don't do this place justice. Yes, you can yoga on an outdoor platform in the middle of the woods. Yes, you can surf some of the best waves in Europe. And yes, you can mingle with the locals and eat deliciously. But it's the vibe that makes Quinta Camarena so special. Owners Vera and Cam have poured their heart and soul into this boutique hotel and you can truly feel the passion. Life is simple yet captivating here. A morning hike or a workout surrounded by nature, followed by a home-style brunch with fresh-squeezed fruit juice from the garden. Chill at one of the outdoor lounge areas or soak up the sun by the pool enveloped by the tranquility of the forest. Enjoy homemade meals with local bread, produce and regional wine while watching sunsets in vibrant oranges and fiery reds. Take in the beauty, the smells, the sounds. People come here for a slow lifestyle—it's up to you to choose your pace and vacation mode. One thing is certain, though. You won't lack options and you won't get bored unless you want to.

If you're the restless type, there's a world of activities to fill your days. Get your exercise fix at the gym or practice as much downdog as your heart desires on the outdoor yoga platform. Explore the beautiful hiking paths that lead you down to the endless beaches and fishing villages. The coastline is well-known for its infinite opportunities for waves and the surf spots provide both safe and challenging conditions for all skill levels. If surfing's not your jam, try your hand at stand-up paddleboarding. SUP tours, yoga SUP and rentals are available on request.
