Comfortably bedded in nature
ABOUT
Uxa Paraíso is an intimate Open Air Hotel, run almost all by myself, Julien.
I was born and raised in France, started exploring the world on wheels when I was very young with my adventurous parents.
About 25 years ago, I bought my first van and started my own explorations. During my travels through Europe, I often found myself waking up to breathtaking views in the most peaceful places.
These are excellent conditions to Find inner peace and eventually Connect to your creative self.
This will make you love being in Nature and slower your pace.
In 2014 I bought a beautiful property in Central Portugal, a valley in the hills by the mountains. I wanted to create a private and comfortable vast space relying on simplicity, silence and low tech.
It’s a friendly and playful place that should appeal to all of us.
For the 2022 season, I'll have large tents, one cabin in the heights, one A-Frame cabin, and two good old vintage trailers to accommodate you.
There is now a campground for camping lovers with access for all to the bathroom facilities, the swimming pool, the bar and the garden with pet animals.
There is plenty space and facilities for camper-vans, caravanes and tents.
