Sagres had until recently two claims to fame. Firstly, there were the Portuguese discoveries of the 15th and 16th century. Sagres was, after all, where Henry the Navigator set up his Navigation school. The second is more prosaic. Sagres is a surfer’s paradise, the windswept coast of this protected area offering excellent surfing conditions.
We think there is now a third claim to fame - the recently opened Memmo Baleeira Hotel. Recently opened is only partly true. The building actually dates back to the 1960’s and has that functional exterior quality to it but, phoenix like, it has been reborn, refurbished and practically turned inside out to become a truly excellent place to stay. The views alone are worth the trip and every room takes advantage of the Atlantic panoramas and Marinhal Bay, as do many of the public areas, so please make the time to see either a spectacular sunset or sunrise.
There’s also simply so much light (southern Portugal is known for its quality of light) which seems to be further enhanced by the pastel colour decoration. And despite the 100 or so rooms the feeling of space and peace is all pervading, in part thanks to the excellent decoration which has not gone down the flowery road, but rather kept things simple and useful. You should also have no problem getting a good night’s sleep, with all beds having their own brand name – Memmo Unforgettable Bed – and special mattresses.
So there’s the location, views and all round quality of the place to think about, but it’s also great for the family. There will be no problem in finding ways to entertain the little ones. The Memmo Kidding provides numerous activities such as painting and educational games, outdoor activities and films and even meals, all supervised by professional carers. Parents, on the other hand can enjoy some of the local produce and fish available at the in-house restaurant.
All in all, a place with something for everyone, whether young or old, with the Atlantic an ever present backdrop. |

A tour on Europe's south westernmost point...
At Baleeira harbour you can find all you need to explore the magnificent seas around Sagres. You can discover all the local marine life on fast and safe boats. The deep blues of the Ocean and the aroma of the sea captivate our imagination. This is a trip not to be missed, as the impressive cliffs and seas around Sagres will remain forever etched in your memory. Should you prefer something more traditional, you can also take a family fishing trip on an original wooden fishing boat designed for group tours. he pleasure of the senses...
Memmo Spa
Total well being for your mind and body.
The memo has created a special space offering a selection of treatments designed to give moments of pure pleasure and relaxation. Services range from a simple massage to specific health and beauty treatments provided by specialists. The Spa also features a Turkish bath, sauna and indoor heated pool. In addition, the hotel gym offers plenty of opportunities to keep in shape.
Surf
Great waves...
Thanks to its unique location on a cape, Sagres enjoys the best of both coasts.
West coast - has swells from the north and southeast. Coast with consistent waves throughout the year and a variety of point breaks, mostly sandy. Integrated within a nature park, many of the access roads are dirt tracks, making the beaches wilder and less crowded. The natural beauty of the beaches combined with the great swell will surely make for excellent surfing experiences.
South Coast - has swells from the south and large swells from the west. Consistent waves in winter, this region is not only known for its natural beauty but also the quality and perfection of its waves.
Regarded by many surfers as Europe's great hidden secret for surfing for both beginners and experts, Sagres offers you blue skies, crystal clear and uncrowded waters with great waves.
Windsurf
Martinhal Beach - south coast (next to hotel) - the predominately north winds during the summer months and crystal clear water make this beach one of the favourite spots for European windsurfers. In summer the beach is the perfect place for slalom, freeride and freestyle with strong winds and calm waters. In winter this spot is more suited to waveriding.
Tonel Beach - west coast (5 minutes from hotel) - July and August are the best months for windsurfing on this beach. During this time, the north winds blow offshore at Martinhal beach. If you are in the mood for waveriding, try out Tonel beach since the winds here are pretty good and the waves break regularly. But be careful: the small size of the beach area and the existence of rock outcrops make this place suitable only for experienced windsurfers.

"We stayed at "Memmo Baleeira" and we fully recommend it to anyone traveling around Sagres. We had a warm welcome and were given a room with a fantastic view over the bay. After enjoying a wonderful sunset we have returned to the hotel to have dinner and were surprised by the great service and the quality of the food. Try the fantastic "bacalhau" with pure of sweet potato or the Iberian black pig fillet with clumps and you will not want to ever go back home.
Next morning. the best breakfast ever! Wonderful place with fabulous quality/price."
