Vida Boa Lodge

A hidden gem on the south coast of Portugal, Vida Boa Lodge is the ideal place for those searching for the perfect balance of action packed adventure and total relaxation. We are also able to offer a variety of lodging options to suit all budgets.

One of the best things about travelling is often the friends you make along the way and that is why at Vida Boa Lodge we have purposely made our communal areas one of our key features. Whether you are lounging by the 12m pool, enjoying a fresh juice or a glass of local wine at the outdoor bar, doing some yoga on the lush green lawn, playing table tennis, or enjoying a movie on our large projector screen we’ve got you covered.
