Exclusive Retreat with 10 Suites on a Sustainable Estate in the Heart of Alentejo

Located within the protected landscape of the Guadiana Natural Park near Serpa, Quinta Marugo is a fully operational boutique wellness retreat set across 30 hectares of private countryside. This is a rare opportunity to acquire both the freehold property and the established operating company as a combined transaction, delivering immediate operational continuity and brand equity in the fast-growing experiential hospitality sector.

The estate comprises approximately 535 sqm of built area and 30 hectares of land, partially within protected parkland, and includes two medium to large ponds, one of which features an island. The property consists of three single-level buildings designed to balance guest privacy with premium shared spaces for dining, socialising and group activity. The layout supports efficient retreat logistics while maintaining a high-end guest experience.

The accommodation includes 10 en-suite double bedrooms, configurable as twin or king rooms, along with 12 guest bathrooms. The property benefits from panoramic Alentejo countryside views and natural, eco-conscious interior finishes.

Among its core differentiating assets is a natural swimming pool, a chemical-free, plant-filtered swimming pond that is an increasingly sought-after feature in the global retreat market. The estate also includes a 70 sqm wood and glass pagoda, a purpose-built yoga and group work space with abundant natural light.

Outdoor facilities include stables accommodating two horses and three donkeys, as well as an outdoor arena suitable for ceremonies, equine work and events. The property also benefits from approved planning for an additional 100 sqm house and infrastructure prepared for a large outdoor yoga deck.

Infrastructure and sustainability features include central heating throughout, thermal regulation via rammed-earth walls and insulated roofing, solar panels providing electricity and hot water, and a private borehole water supply. The retreat is supported by an industrial-grade commercial kitchen and approximately 1,000 sqm of organic vegetable gardens.

Additional facilities include staff accommodation with three staff rooms and two bathrooms, a massage and treatment room, and technical rooms supporting the property’s operations. Quinta Marugo is certified by Green Globe, with certification valid until June 2026, reinforcing its strong ESG positioning, and has been featured by The Guardian as one of the 10 Best Healthy Retreats in Europe.
