Eco-boutique guesthouse for men with clothing optional pool immersed in a lush nature,
a few miles away from the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches
of the Costa Vicentina, southern Portugal.
ABOUT
When we first set foot on this land, we felt we had stepped into another world: 16 hectares of wild nature, total peace, and the Atlantic just a short drive away.
We knew straight away it was the place to slow down, switch off and reconnect — with ourselves, with nature and with each other.
Today Lua Nua is a small gay guesthouse for men on the Costa Vicentina, near Zambujeira do Mar and the wild beaches of the Alentejo coast in southern Portugal: a clothing-optional pool, quiet rooms with private terraces, shared dinners under the stars, and all the time in the world to do absolutely nothing.
Throughout the year, Lua Nua also opens its doors to retreats — yoga, art, tantra and more — led by teachers we love and trust, for those who want to go a little deeper.
Come as you are. Leave a little lighter.
—Christophe & Franck
