Our top pick of the best small boutique hotels on the Alentejo Coast, luxury hotels, holiday homes and apartments on the Costa Vicentina

The Costa Vicentina (Alentejo Coast) stretches from the city of Sines in the north to Sagres in the Algarve. It is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal, almost every one of which is worth a visit. But the small fishing villages such as Zambujeira do Mar, Vila Nova de Milfontes and Porto Covo also invite you to relax. Not to mention the surfing paradises of Carrapateira and Arrifana.

There are a number of beautiful small hotels and holiday homes here, some of them close to the beach, many of them recently opened as this area has only recently been discovered by travellers. It is Portugal's undiscovered diamond in the rough.
