El Gordo is situated in the world-renowned beach resort city of Trancoso on the ‘Coast of Discovery’ founded by Portuguese sailors in 1586, and hailed as the birthplace of the Lambada.
Pousada Vida Sol e Mar is a unique Eco-resort situated on the beach surrounded by Atlantic coastal rainforest, ideal for whale-watching, birdwatching, surfing, horseback riding, and nature walks.

Unique style, unforgettable activities, and fantastic locations – the hallmarks of a true boutique hotel experience,“ Buehler added.

Ideal for families or the perfect romantic getaway, the Alex is as unique as the Matterhorn itself.
