Amarello Hotel
WHY WE PICKED THIS HOTEL
Amarello brings together Atlantic beaches, lagoon walks, rooftop swimming and beautiful Alentejo-inspired design in a way that feels calm, easy and far from a typical resort hotel
HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Amarello Hotel Praia Santo André sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Santo André lagoon, on a quieter stretch of the Alentejo coast where dunes, wild beaches, and nature reserves replace beach clubs and crowds. The atmosphere feels calm and contemporary, with sandy tones, natural textures, and large windows opening towards the sea and lagoon landscape. The stay revolves around the rooftop terrace, pool, restaurant, and long walks to the beach, which is only a few minutes away on foot. It works especially well for travellers looking for a slower coastal escape while still having a polished hotel experience.
Our take on the stay
Bob
It works well for travellers who want the wildness of the Alentejo coast without giving up hotel comforts like a rooftop pool, restaurant, fitness centre and easy parking
HOTEL LOCATION
THIS IS GREAT
A setting just steps from Praia de Santo André, with the beach and lagoon close enough to shape the stay throughout the day
A position near the Lagoas de Santo André e da Sancha Nature Reserve, giving the hotel a stronger connection to dunes, birdlife and open coastal landscape
A rooftop pool with food and drink service, creating a natural place for slow afternoons and sunset views across the surrounding coast
A second outdoor pool and garden area, adding more space to unwind beyond the rooftop
Two restaurants and bar spaces on site, so the hotel works well for easy days when you want to stay close to the beach and property
Warm and colorful contemporary interiors with sandy tones and natural textures, giving the hotel a calmer Alentejo feel rather than a generic coastal look
