ABOUT US
Uxa Paraíso is an intimate Open-air Hotel and a rural Camping run by myself, Julien.
I was born and raised in France, and started exploring the world on wheels at a very young age 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.
Those moments, when I open the van door to the first light of morning and take in the raw beauty of nature are one of my most treasured memories.
In 2014 I bought a stunning property of 50 000m² in Central Portugal, nestled in a valley among the hills and mountains. My vision was to create a private, spacious oasis/haven/refuge/, focused on simplicity, tranquility, and eco-friendly, low-tech principles.
For over 10 years, I have dedicated all my time and energy to bringing my vision to life, constantly exploring new ideas and projects. I have worked to shape this untamed land, creating pathways and terraces for campervans and caravans. I also designed myself the buildings - bathroom facilities, a bar, an outdoor kitchen - and the accommodation units, including an A-frame, and a wooden cabin.
