DESTINATION
The village of Melides exudes a sense of humility, where people strive to keep their lifelong traditions and craftsmanship alive. Nestled inland on the west coast, between the hills of the Serra de Grândola, south of Comporta and Lisbon, the village is home to vineyards, rice fields, forestry, a vast stretch of pristine Atlantic beaches and a gentle pace of life.
In Vermelho, our luxury boutique hotel in Melides, we have embraced this peaceful pace of life and legacy. We see it in the local hand-painted tiles, each of which tells a story about a village of craftsmanship and passion. We savour it in the dishes from Xtian, our restaurant in Melides, prepared with the ingredients of the land and produce from the local market. We hear it in the calm music that rings in our luxury wellness area. We sense it in the Atlantic Sea breeze that drifts inland and in the flora that inhabits our gardens. And, above all, we feel it in the bom dia and the obrigada that make us feel at home.
Discover the wide range of activities our guests can enjoy in Alentejo. Request a picnic, especially prepared by our chef, and explore the village of Melides and its pristine countryside by bicycle, available to hire from within the hotel. Enjoy horseback riding along the Comporta coastline or perhaps a tour of the regional vineyards followed by an exquisite tasting of local Portuguese wines…
