You and the Sea is known for being one of the most luxurious boutique hotels in Ericeira and is the perfect choice for a romantic getaway. It’s about a fifteen-minute walk south of town and the rooms overlook peaceful Praia do Sul and the beautiful Ericeira cliffs.
There are only 35 rooms at You and the Sea and they’re all full apartments with kitchens so you’ll have the amenities of home.

Vila Galé Ericeira | Book Now
Vila Galé is an iconic hotel in the heart of Ericeira town with one of the best locations possible. It’s perched on the edge of Praia do Sul with a panoramic view of the beach and coastline, and there’s a huge outdoor pool deck with three outdoor pools overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Vila Galé also has a restaurant, two bars, a kids club, a playground, a spa and sauna, and a fitness center. There’s a private parking lot and even an electric car charging point, which is great because parking so close to downtown can get ridiculously crowded in the summer.
Here, you’ll be minutes from everything in town and steps from some of the best beaches in Ericeira. Plus, if you have a sea-facing room, you’ll have a front-row seat for watching the surfers at the Furnas surf break. The outdoor pools are the perfect place to enjoy a sunny day overlooking the water.
I’ve stayed in another Vila Gale property in the Douro Valley and I had an amazing experience. The brand is known for having great service and lots of outdoor space for a relaxing vacation.
