Vila Gale Ericeira Hotel & Resort  

Perched on Ericeira’s Atlantic coast in the Mafra area, this beachfront hotel sits about 50 metres from the sand and a 30-minute drive from Lisbon. It’s in the middle of a world surfing reserve with easy access to Praia de Ericeira, Ribeira d'Ilhas and other top surf breaks.

A refurbished historic property with panoramic ocean views and many rooms featuring balconies or terraces. Accommodation ranges up to junior suites; rooms come with minibar, air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms, and the vibe leans warm and relaxed with family-friendly facilities.

Two outdoor pools (one saltwater), an indoor pool and a children’s pool with water slides, plus a sun terrace and pool bar. The Satsanga spa offers massage rooms, sauna, Turkish bath and jacuzzi, and there’s a gym and fitness centre — perfect for sea-breeze mornings and relaxed afternoons.

Event rooms, conference halls and a business centre with internet and multimedia options for meetings and conferences. Free Wi‑Fi is available in public areas, and the hotel offers 24-hour reception, parking and accessibility features.

An on-site restaurant and two bars serve buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner with à la carte choices and local flavours. Special diets and individual requests can be accommodated.
