Saudade is not just the name.
It is a Portuguese word with no direct translation: memory felt in the present. It is also how we want our guests to feel: part of something that endures, visit after visit.
Within Dunas Douradas Beach Club
The restaurant of Dunas Douradas Beach Club, in Sítio do Garrão, Almancil. It receives those who stay and those who arrive from outside.
Between Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, we are a few minutes from either and open every day, from breakfast to the last cocktail.
