Early September Opening for The Oitavos in Portugal
August 27, 2010 - The Oitavos, a new luxury hotel and spa in Portugal is set to open on September 1st.
A 20 minute drive from Lisbon, the property is set within the Quinta da Marinha Original estate and is surrounded by sand dunes and pine trees.
Drawing inspiration from the ocean in both its design and menu, The Oitavos spa has a contemporary design that features sleek lines and panoramic windows intended to focus attention outwards to its dramatic natural surroundings.
Facilities at the spa include 10 treatment rooms, indoor and outdoor seawater pool, plus a sauna, steam room and whirlpool. There will also be a spa garden area for guests to practice yoga in a private cabana.
The ocean theme carries through to the treatments, which include sea salt exfoliations and scrubs, a seaweed and algae wrap and a range of anti-ageing therapies. The spa will exclusively use organic spa brand Voya.
Stephen Roughley, general manager of The Oitavos said, “We are delighted to finally be able to share The Oitavos with the public. The hotel is the culmination of the Champalimaud family's vision, having first purchased the land during the 1920s, and completes this exceptional estate.”
The estate also offers a range of sports options including an equestrian centre, a health and rackets club and The Oitavos Dunes golf course.
