Inntravel has just added four of the region’s new self-catering cottage apartments to its books. Right by the beach near Zambujeira, the apartments are in the grounds of a hotel, so if you don’t fancy cooking after a day exploring the coast (walking maps are included and bikes can be borrowed), you can book dinner in its restaurant. Guests can also use the hotel pool. - Casas Na Areia, Portugal If you’re craving a tropical beach but can’t venture beyond Europe, these thatched beach cabins are a good compromise. An hour’s drive south of Lisbon, and an easy bike ride from pristine Comporta beach (four bikes are included in the rental rates), this development mixes hi-spec modernist architecture (design by Manuel Aires Mateus, state-of-the-art sound system, high-speed internet and sleek dipping pool) and rustic luxury (the dining and living rooms are open-sided and sand-floored). Dine on fresh seafood from the fishing hamlet of Carrasqueira, explore the 1,200-acre private nature reserve and pine forest, or sit and watch flamingos as the sun sets over nearby salt pans. The owners also offer horseback treks on Comporta beach and the Sado estuary nature reserve.
