Ecoresort Portobali Reviews 

Written by the company

Set on a hillside in Northern Portugal, 5* Ecoresort Portobali offers guests the rare combination of untouched nature and effortless access to the region's cities, 40 minutes from Porto, Braga, 20 minutes from Guimarães and Amarante, with the UNESCO Douro Valley within an hour's reach. Rooted in a philosophy that blends the best of Northern Portugal with the best of Asia, Portobali is designed as a place where guests slow down without disconnecting from the world around them. Natural materials and daylight shape every space, creating an atmosphere our guests describe as home rather than hotel. Our suites feature king-size beds and private spa bathrooms, each opening onto a panoramic mountain view, a view guests consistently single out from both the terrace and the swimming pool as the defining moment of their stay. After travelling to 40+ countries, with a special passion for Asia and nature, Dutch founders Mitch de Ruijte & Marianne van Groeningen decided to prolong their passion, combining their passion through the development of 5* Ecoresort Portobali. The intimate 1.1-hectare property is shaped around relaxation rather than scale: a number of dedicated relaxation areas and a dedicated yoga deck give guests space to slow down without ever feeling like just another room number. Located in the Levadas de Jugueiros, an area known for its waterfalls, biodiversity and historic trails, Portobali gives guests direct access to guided hiking routes from the resort itself, no transfer required. The Barrias waterfalls sit just 1 km away, a hidden gem most visitors to the region never find. Our sustainable tourism is created to give back to the local community of Northern Portugal. While you enjoy stunning views of lush greenery and tranquil water features, your stay supports the local area. Choose for 5* Ecoresort Portobali for an unforgettable blend of luxury, relaxation, and cultural harmony.​See more
