The kids will sleep soundly after frolicking by the water at Samara Beach. Hunt for washed up treasures, stick a toe in the water or throw a Frisbee around!

9.4/10 Exceptional! (66 reviews)
The garden suite was wonderful as was the entire property. So unique, peaceful and an excellent viewing of the stars from the lookout site. But what stood out though was the fantastic service from Paulo, Johnny and Luis and everyone else, who treated us as if we were the most important people in the world. This is truly an unforgettable space and team!
