About Cocoon
Situated on the windswept and untouched Atlantic coast of Portugal, near the charming fishing village of Zambujeira do Mar, is Cocoon Portugal, a 275-acre coastal farm & retreat centre. The Alentejo coastal region, which is known for its rugged coastline and long stretches of deserted beaches, gives way to rolling hills, whitewashed villages, and traditional farming communities.
Cocoon is far removed from the tourist trail, a place that invites you to slow down, recalibrate, and return to the natural rhythms that surround you in every direction. The kind of place where each morning is a celebration, practicing under the canopy of old-growth pines, but so is each evening, with world-class wine and fascinating dinner conversation.
From Lisbon, Cocoon is about a two-hour drive south. From Faro, slightly closer.
The ocean, trails, and sandy coves are a 15-minute drive away. With two yoga shalas, a freshwater lake, and a circus of goats, sheep, and peacocks, Cocoon is a piece of magic on Portugal’s untouched Atlantic coast.
Come play!
