Octant Santiago

Culture and nature take centre stage at Octant Santiago, a gastronomic getaway that combines contemporary architecture with agrarian surroundings in Portugal’s Alentejo region. As well as being easy on the eyes – the contemporary white building is surrounded by lush green gardens and evergreen trees – it’s easy on the wallet, too. Tapping effortlessly into the experiential travel trend, the hotel can arrange for you to get muddy on local farms (but won’t mind a bit if you opt for just getting lightly bronzed by the pool).

The hotel occupies a modernist white block just minutes from the heart of Santiago do Cacém, a historic hilltop town in Portugal’s rural Alentejo region. Here, you’re just 20 minutes by car from some of Europe’s finest (and most deserted) beaches.
