Stay
* From January 10th to April 12th, Birds of Paradise transforms into a co-living retreat. During these months, there’s no breakfast service. Guests can book a room and enjoy the house alongside other co-living / workation guests (adults only). The minimum stay in this period is 7 nights. More information can be found on our Pricing page.
At the doorstep of the Atlantic Ocean, situated in Vale da Telha, Aljezur, on the southwest coast of Portugal and in a nature reserve, you find surfers’ paradise: Birds of Paradise.
Fully renovated in 2021 with respect for its natural surroundings, this boutique surf lodge is an inspiring, conscious, vibrant and easy-going space to rebalance, enjoy nature, (learn to) surf and have fun.
Birds of Paradise welcomes adults and children aged 8 and older, and we accommodate a maximum of 4 guests per booking to ensure our intimate and peaceful ambiance. Stays during the main season require a minimum of 4 nights and include a delicious and healthy breakfast. In addition, surf lessons (for all levels), SUP tours, bike rental, yoga classes, massages and other activities can be booked. Expect phenomenal days spent in the ocean improving surf skills, flowing into a massage or yoga class, and chilling at the solar-heated (from mid-April) salt water pool.
In the winter months (mid November to mid April) we open as a co-living place. Our rooms can be rented per week or per month and the rental includes free coffee and tea, super fast internet, floor heating in all rooms and living areas, daily cleaning of the communal areas and weekly room cleaning. All rooms have their own private work desk, and there is a large table in the living room with enough space to work, as well as the bar in the kitchen. Of course you can make use of all the modern facilities like the well-equipped kitchen, the pool and the surfboard storage area. Perfect for remote workers, digital nomads or people who want to leave their normal work environment, experience co-working and get inspired in a beautiful natural environment with world-class surf around the corner.

Surf, yoga and other activities
Delicious and healthy food
As big ocean lovers, we would like to let you experience the positive effects of the sea on your physical, mental and emotional health. Spending time around the ocean, and particularly when surfing, can improve mood levels and genuinely make you feel more alive. We feel energised and relaxed at the same time as our body delights in its natural environment. Being around water gives the brain and the senses a rest from overstimulation and stress levels will drop. Then there is the physical sensation after a surf session: feeling calm, at ease and happy.
We simply love to put that dream vacation together for You!
