The 19 Best Hotels in Ericeira Portugal: Where to stay 2024
Looking for the best hotels in Ericeira Portugal for your holidays? Just as there is a lot to do and see in the only World Surf Reserve in Europe, there are many boutique hotels, quaint homes and modern villas to be had.
As residents of Ericeira, we also started opening up our family home to tourists, jsut like many other people in the area. For about 5 years of my time in Ericeira, our family home was regularly rented out to visitors looking for a unique experience by the sea.
Tourism in the area started long ago when the people from Lisbon would come for summer holidays. Thank goodness, quality and comfort have greatly increased since then and there’s lots to choose from!
Nowadays long and short-term holiday rentals, surf camps, guesthouses, inns and even coliving houses make up most of the best places to stay. Read on for a comprehensive list of my favorite hotels in Ericeira Portugal.
In a Rush?
Here is my top 3 recommendation for the best hotels in Ericeira.
🌊 You and the Sea: This incredible luxury hotel is the place to rent a room or a flat with a fabulous sea view. Perfect for small or large groups you’ll love the spa and the skateboard wave they have in the outdoor chilling area.
🌊 Casa das Aguarelas: This is one of the cutest inns in town. The decor is authentic and quaint and the location can’t be beat.
🌊 The Grove II: This is one of the nicest flats in town! Its excellent location and beautiful vaulted ceilings really make it worth your while.

1. You and the Sea

You and the Sea also offers you one free use of its bicycles, a great way to get into town and enjoy the local beaches. A large pool, spa, and gym are on offer here, and children are welcome.

The view from our room was gorgeous – looking at the ocean. The breakfast was delicious. The staff very friendly and helpful. The best part is the garden space across the street and the access to the beach. The room we stayed in was well decorated and clean. I want to come back with my children and hang for awhile. Loved the little town too!

2. Vila Gale Ericeira
This iconic hotel is located right on the rocky shore in the center of town and has grown and evolved with the village over the years. It now consists of 202 rooms, most of which have Atlantic ocean views as well as an incredible structure with outdoor swimming pools, bars, and a restaurant.
Although Vila Gale Ericeira can only accommodate small families with 1-2 children per room, breakfast is included with all stays, and offers a Kids club and a small park. It is my favorite because of its charm and history! And its so family friendly that children stay and eat for free. A very nice Satsanga Spa, with indoor and outdoor pools, as well as massage, a sauna, and a Turkish bath, are all on offer here too.
Prices range from 100 to 250 Euros per night.

Even if you decide not to stay here, the view, the excellent restaurant, bar, spa, and wellness center make for a fabulous afternoon which easily slips into evening! They also offer interesting experiences like yoga classes, a Cacao ceremony, Surf lessons, picnics, and wine tasting in Portugal wineries.

This hotel is truly something special. The moment I walked in the door I was greeted with the warmest welcome. From booking surfing, to yoga, transfers and taxis nothing was too much hassle and I was blown away with the level of service. We had the manager of the hotel even drive us to dinner one night. They really went above and beyond even what you’d expect even in a beautiful hotel of this caliber. The hotel decor is stunning. Very fresh and stylish and the views were truly breathtaking. I can’t even find the words to describe my room! I’ve stayed at a lot of nice hotels but there is something truly magical about this place.

Although they are not located on the sea, the view of the hills and the sea will take your breath away, and combined with the incredible diversity of options offered at the spa you will leave feeling refreshed and renewed. Keep in mind that you will need a car to reach the location, about 15 minutes from Ericeira village.

5. Villa Ana Margarida Hotel
Vila Ana Margarida Hotel is located right in the center of the village – it has a cute inner courtyard where you can have breakfast at the hotel restaurant, all surrounded by the strange quirky design created by the owner! Everything is nautically themed, and the fact that it all verges on gaudy makes it all the more interesting.
Most rooms accommodate up to 3, but a family room for 4 is also available. A tiny rooftop terrace, a surf room where you can clean your gear, and regular hotel amenities are on offer here. Watch out for noisy nightlife here in high season. Prices range from 75 to 170 Euros per night.

The old home renovated to create this guesthouse is 200 m from the sea and about 500 m from restaurants and bars.

9. WOT Ericeira
This Ericeira hotel is a classic and has been around forever! It was recently renovated and offers very simple, yet clean rooms for visitors. Rooms have a maximum capacity of 2 people, and a second room needs to be booked for family accommodation.
Because of the very affordable prices, it can be considered an option as an Ericeira guesthouse since it doesn’t quite reach Ericeira hotel standards. Very few amenities are offered. However, the best part is the location which is central, but away from the nightlife, so not as noisy as could be expected in summer months.
Prices range from 50 to 120 Euros per night.

10. Sandhi House Yoga and Wellness
Sanhi House Yoga and Wellness is a great place to stay! The soothing decor lends itself well to the daily yoga classes offered in their well-attended yoga studio right next door.
It is one of the best places to come relax for me in Ericeira, and surfers really like to stay here, especially since it’s so close to the sea. The common areas allow you to work since the wifi is strong. This is where the view is divine and also where breakfast is served. It is in a fairly quiet part of the village even though there are lots of restaurants and cafes nearby.
Prices range from 120 to 220 Euros per night.

11. Amar Hostel and Suits
Amar Hostel and Suits is located in a large villa, built in the 1930s. Although it was recently renovated, it remains one of the most charmingly Portuguese places to stay in the village.
Its location is excellent, being on the edge of the center, and it offers bike, scooter, and surf-board rentals, a coffee bar, lounge, and full kitchen, as well as a lovely garden and terrace. Breakfast (6 Euros) as well as yoga and surf classes are available upon request. Accommodation here can also be booked as part of a surf camp package.
Children are not allowed in the dorm rooms, but the atmosphere here is light and friendly, and families are more than welcome. Since this is an older property, it is not adapted for people with physical disabilities, and also isn’t great for parking since street parking is always a nightmare in the town center.
Rooms here accommodate up to 4 people and go for between 89 and 125 Euros.

12. Olive 3 Hostel
This is another traditional home which was transformed into an Ericeira guesthouse. The special thing about this one is the feeling that you are staying in someone’s family cottage.
It is quirky and full of interesting antique furniture, and although it has been renovated, the original charm of a traditional family home by the sea has been encapsulated here to perfection. A large courtyard in the middle of the property houses a garden full of fruit trees, bougainvillea, and a pool with a terrace.
Inside, a few living rooms, one of which has a fireplace, and a large tv invites you to put your feet up and relax at the end of a day of beach combing. Here, yoga, surf classes and breakfast or brunch are all on offer.
Pets are welcome here, as are children. Family studios house up to 4 people and have a private ensuite bathroom. Prices range from 75 to 175 Euros for a family of 4.

Best Hotels in Ericeira: Holiday Rentals and Flats in Ericeira
Although hotels and guesthouses are great accommodation for holidays, nothing compares with the privacy and space a flat or house can afford a group as a family. Having a kitchen, as well as a private outdoor space and living area really provides extra comfort, especially when we travel with extended family or as a larger group.
The properties suggested below provide you with all of this for different-sized groups and often offer the perk of a pool or hot tub. Keep reading for more details.

This was the perfect vacation in the perfect house. The house was perfect for our family of 6, from age 1 to 70, in so many ways. Michelle and pedro were fantastic hosts, from the wine and delicious fresh fruit they left us as a welcome, to books, stuffed animals, toys, a crib and high chair for the kids, to the roomy, well-decorated and spotlessly clean house, to the spectacular view of the ocean. Perfect!

It is located on the North side of the village, closer to the Northern surf beaches, so suits a group of surfers. The simple, yet clean accommodation provides bunk beds, two singles that can be turned into a double, and a foldaway couch.
The disadvantage here is the lack of divisions between areas, but when traveling as a family, this isn’t as big a deal. Prices for this studio are quite budget-friendly and range from 350 to 700 Euros per week, and street parking is fairly easy here.

Best Hotels in Ericeira Portugal FAQ
What’s the best neighborhood to stay in when visiting Ericeira?
Since Ericeira receives a lot of young surfers during the summer, the nightlife can get a little loud in the center of the village.

If you choose to stay a little further out, like in Praia de Foz do Lizandro or in Praia de Ribeira d’Ilhas you might want to rent a car to see the sights, but be warned! Parking in Ericeira is a nightmare from March to October, and you’ll need to park on the outskirts of town and walk down to the center.
Which hotels are good for families to stay in Ericeira?
Ericeira is a very family-friendly and pet-friendly destination! Only a few places won’t allow children and many will allow pets to come along. The best hotels in Ericeira for families are You and the Sea, Ericeira Prime Villas, and Hotel Vila Gale.
Besides this, you’ll find many Inns and local Airbnb-type accomodation which are appropriate for traveling with children.
