Embracing an ethos where design, nature, culture and sustainability shape the experience, the Vale Palheiro Earth Resort collection of 13 villas, suites and casitas soft launched in August – on the rolling hillside of a 280-acre protected Portuguese valley.
Designed as a stylish, contemporary getaway, offering a vast space to reconnect, slow down and switch off, the project, led by owners Pedro and Madalena Rutkowski, has been a decade in the making; a credit to the purposeful construction that has prioritised traditional techniques, natural materials, and the precious landscape that surrounds it.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
