Location

Cocoon Portugal is a 275 acre coastal farm + retreat, offering inspiration + community for the modern traveller. It's also pure magic, where between the oversized hammocks and the freshwater lake, you'll start to lose track of time.

Cocoon is situated on the breathtaking Atlantic coast of Portugal, near the charming fishing village of Zambujiera del Mar, in the Alentejo region, which is known for its long stretches of untouched coastline and charming white-washed villages. From Lisbon, it's about two hours drive south. 

Cocoon is just 10 minutes drive away from Praia do Malhao, a fabulous untouched beach. Many of the nearby beaches are good for surfing, kayaking, swimming or sunbathing. There's also world-class hiking on the famed Costa Vicentina trail and secret swimming holes where you can take a refreshing dip. The charming seafront village of Vila Nova de Milfontes is also just 10 minutes drive away.
