Casa Mãe

In the small coastal town of Lagos, in the South of Portugal, known for its romantically remote beaches, the new boutique hotel Casa Mãe is a celebration of good living and Portuguese 'tranquilidade'.

Casa Mãe’s property, with its 16th century walls, its 19th century family estate house, its 5,000 square metre terraced vegetable garden and its restored antique irrigation system, is a place full of heritage, now revived and combined with modern creativity. The brand new building of the property Jogo da Bola is minimalist in the architecture and crafty in the details, with much local context, for example handmade sun dried terracotta flooring, traditional wooden ‘reixas’ on the facade and unique handmade stone ware pieces in the rooms.

The atmosphere is pleasant, with white walls, blue skies all year round and palm trees on a huge terrace. It has a generous space with 34 rooms, a villa and large terraces with hammocks that invite you to relax and enjoy the endless summer in the southwest corner of Europe.

You can't miss the experience of enjoying its three stunning pools: the main one, an adults-only pool, and another located on the spa's rooftop. Without a doubt, an unmatched pleasure to escape the summer heat.

With its own farm, self-published magazine, artisan boutique and dozens of collaborations with Portuguese artisans and designers, Casa Mãe is much more than a hotel. Its restaurant - Orta - has a huge open kitchen with a bar: a place to eat and watch the chefs putting fresh ingredients on the plates.  

Casa Mãe's ambition is to bring Portugal's best products to the table - including wines from small winemakers and terroirs. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays you can enjoy an exquisite summer barbecue, a very homely and familiar plan - an unforgettable experience!

Casa Mãe is a frontier place: between the settled Algarve and the countryside; between surfers and golfers; between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. A place where we can sunbathe nine months of the year on placid white sandy beaches, catch magnificent waves in the west - or sail by boat exploring the caves of its coastline.

A place where you can bury your worries, look to the horizon and smile at life.
