The ACTIVITIES
Star
GAZING
Far from city lights, the Vila Viçosa skies open wide over the Alentejo plains, offering some of the clearest views of the stars in all of Portugal. On evenings, you can lie back and watch constellations unfold above ancient olive trees and marble hills.
For an unforgettable experience, head to the Dark Sky® Alqueva Reserve — the world’s first. Starlight Tourism Destination, certified by UNESCO and just 45 minutes from Vila Viçosa.
Yo
GA
An ancient practice more relevant than ever today. A physical exercise that cultivate awareness, balance, and inner clarity. At Calipo we offer yoga classes, host retreats, and embrace the power of movement, breath, and meditation.
Bike
RIDE
Bike rides are a wholesome and sustainable way to explore a taste of the Alentejo landscape — cork trees, marble paths, and rolling golden fields unfolding at your pace. Bring curiosity, we will lend the wheels.
The
PADEL
COURT
Padel is fast, fun, and easy to pick up. Played in doubles, it’s as much about quick reflexes as it is about connection — with your partner and your opponents. Come play!
