Rooms

You can’t get a 'bad' room. Choose one of the Nature, Ocean or Inhale rooms, or an ultra-spacious Suite. Each one boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and offers panoramic views of the outside space – your choice of garden or ocean view (as the names imply), and a private balcony.

We stayed in a Nature room and it was generously sized, with a 10sq.m private balcony, and tastefully decorated, with a handmade wooden bed, thoughtfully curated artwork, and impossibly soft linen bedding that made it very hard to tear ourselves away in the morning.

The suites take spaciousness and comfort to another level with an enormous 50sq.m of living space, 39sq.m balconies, and decidedly ‘honeymoon worthy’ free-standing bathtubs with views so you can sea- or star-gaze while you soak. The modern, minimalist aesthetic throughout is perfectly balanced by the earthy colour palette, inspired by the local landscape. All about comfort and simplicity, the feeling in the space is warm and inviting, with a spa-like quality that makes you breathe a little more deeply the minute you set foot in your room or suite.

• Air conditioning

• Coffee / tea making

Eating

Alexandre Silva is the Michelin-starred chef behind Immerso’s impressive menu and dining experience. Everything on the menu is organic, locally-sourced (including from the hotel’s own garden), using seasonal ingredients, and regionally inspired, with a contemporary twist. It’s a fresh, straightforward approach to cooking, which they describe as ‘casual, fun and laid back’, and there’s enough choice to satisfy veggies, vegans, pescetarians and meat eaters alike.

Take your pick from dining at Emme restaurant (indoors and on the balcony), head down the hill to Emme on Fire, a sociable bonfire dining experience outdoors, or enjoy a menu of snacks and drinks poolside. You won’t want to miss the fire-cooked oysters, which are a local speciality, or the pica-pau do mar (seasoned seafood mix) which has been on the menu since the hotel opened, due to popular demand. There's also a great selection of craft beers and local wines from small producers in the area, including low intervention, natural wines.

Happily, there’s no skimping on the breakfast menu here either. The buffet is one of the most generous we’ve seen, laden with all kinds of fresh baked breads, croissants, fruit, local cheeses, and cereals, plus there’s a menu of a la carte dishes available to order (quite possibly the best Eggs Benedict we’ve ever tasted.)
