Comfortably bedded in nature

ABOUT

Uxa Paraiso is an intimate Open Air Hotel, run almost all by myself, Julien Coste.

​

I was born and raised in Paris, started exploring the world on wheels when I was very young. I was only three years old when my parents bought a camper van and took me and my sister to a trip through the United States. This is how my love for adventure and my passion for homes on wheels first started. 

As soon as I was 18, I bought my first camper van and hit the road on my own. During my travels through Europe, I often found myself waking up to breathtaking views in the most peaceful places.

The idea of sharing these experiences started to grow in my head. And after many years of touring around stunning landscapes, I felt that it was time to settle down and fulfill my dream. That was it, I would make you wake up in nature comfortably laying in bed because it's just too good and pure of a sensation.

​

In 2014 I bought a beautiful piece of land in central Portugal, a little valley in the hills by the mountains. It was wild and abandoned. But I had a vision. With a lot of hard work, I created my own little paradise. A wonderful place I'm happy to share with likeminded people from all over the world.

​

For the 2019 season, I'll have five large tents, two cabins in the heights and a good old vintage trailer 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.
