About the hotel

“Surrounded by a leafy pine grove overlooking the sea, Octant Praia Verde is the place where Mediterranean inspiration translates into unhurried days and lengthy appreciation of the pureness of the natural surroundings, the people, flavours, and singularities of this region.
The rooms designed with couples and families in mind, the restaurant inspired by the Mediterranean’s most rustic flavours, heightened by hot flames, in a wood-fired oven – this entire atmosphere translates the incessant search for what is welcoming, homemade, and meticulously thought-out. And the human side is unique because the roots are well established, here in what was the first Octant of all. The outdoor pool and bar, surrounded by the peaceful pine grove, walks, workshops; and golf courses all complement a stay where you can disconnect from the outside world. And there are other services at your disposal 24 hours a day: from the pools to breakfast, because it should be your desires that rule your relaxation, rather than the clock.

This is what it means to be free. It is having the time for what matters, turning it into good memories, and returning to them over and over again.”
