STILL SUMMER. WITHOUT THE CROWDS.

If you can get away in September, you’re one of the lucky ones.

You still get summer on the Costa Vicentina. The sun, the warm days, the beautiful beaches, the long lunches and the Atlantic breeze. Just with fewer crowds, fewer queues, easier restaurant reservations and a little more of this extraordinary coastline to yourself.

Same summer. More space. Less noise.

Come and make September your summer at Vale das Estrelas.

September stays available now.

Tonight over the Valley of the Stars 🌕✨

The August Sturgeon Moon, huge and golden, rising over the Alentejo hills. One of those evenings when everything goes quiet and you remember just how beautiful it is out here.

Some nights our name makes perfect sense.

🇵🇹

Esta noite, no Vale das Estrelas 🌕✨

A Lua do Esturjão de agosto, enorme e dourada, a nascer sobre as colinas alentejanas. Uma daquelas noites em que tudo f**a em silêncio e nos lembramos da sorte que temos em viver aqui.

Há noites em que o nosso nome faz todo o sentido.

A little more sunshine at work. ☀️⚡️

As our guests, friends and followers know, Vale das Estrelas runs entirely on the sun. We’re off-grid, with our own water supply and a filtration and treatment system that allows us to reuse water here on the land.

And now the sunshine has another job.

This summer we added EV charging for our guests, and it’s already getting plenty of use. Because if the sun can power the rooms, the pool, the kitchens and pretty much everything else around here, it may as well send you home with a full battery too.

One more small piece of the sustainability puzzle. And yes, we feel rather good about this one. 🌿⚡️

Everybody loves golden hour. 🌅

Tonight we’re celebrating it with the first of our summer Cocktail Evenings at Vale das Estrelas.

From 5 pm, our LA-trained bartender will be shaking, stirring and pouring a menu of beautiful signature cocktails, alongside w**e, b**r and micheladas, all served with one of our favourite views in Portugal, looking out across the Serra de Monchique.

Come for a drink, stay for the sunset, and leave whenever you like. We’ll be here from 5 pm until around 8 or 9 pm.

📍DM us for directions. You can find us on Google Maps, but the last kilometre is an analog adventure. We’ll send you the easy way.
