Hotel Flôr de Sal  

On Portugal’s Atlantic coast in Viana do Castelo, right on the boardwalk/promenade. This beachfront, family-friendly hotel sits minutes from the Shipyards of Viana, Castelo de Santiago da Barra and local museums.

Contemporary interiors with modern design touches and sea-facing rooms set the tone. The hotel has 60 rooms — including a luxury suite, two executive suites, six junior suites and two accessible rooms — and 32 rooms offer private balconies or terraces with ocean views. Rooms come with minibars, air conditioning, safes, satellite/cable TV, hairdryers and private bathrooms (some with bidets).

A 2,000 m² Health Club & SPA anchors the property with hairdressers, massage rooms and a full-service spa. Relax in two heated salty-water pools plus indoor pools, a sauna, hot tub and a fitness center with classes. On-site parking, shuttle services and a promenade location make it easy to get out and explore. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and stroll straight onto the beach.

Three conference rooms face the Atlantic and an auditorium seats 150; meeting space totals about 444 m² (4,779 sq ft). Complimentary wireless internet and a computer station support events and business stays.

Restaurante Saleiro serves Modern European cuisine with garden views and alfresco dining options. A bar/lounge and limited room service round out food and drinks, and a complimentary buffet breakfast is served weekdays 7:00–10:30 AM and weekends 7:30–10:30 AM.
