Country Estate, 13 Bedrooms, For Sale

Welcome to Quinta Marugo, a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational, newly renovated retreat center set within 30 hectares (74 acres) of protected countryside in the Guadiana Natural Park, Baixo Alentejo. Combining absolute privacy with turnkey operational readiness, the property offers a compelling asset in the growing wellness and experiential hospitality sector.

The estate comprises three thoughtfully designed ground-floor buildings, balancing guest privacy with high-quality communal spaces for dining, socialising, and group activities. Accommodation includes 10 en-suite double bedrooms, configurable as twin or king, all enjoying open views across the Alentejo landscape. Interiors are finished with natural, eco-conscious materials, creating a calm, durable, and low-maintenance environment aligned with contemporary wellness trends.

At the heart of the property are two standout features: a chemical-free natural swimming pool, filtered entirely by plants, and a 70 sqm wood-and-glass pagoda, purpose-built for yoga, meditation, and group work. Together, these elements position Quinta Marugo as a highly distinctive retreat destination.

The property is fully equipped for professional operations, with an industrial-grade kitchen praised by visiting chefs, central heating throughout, passive thermal regulation via thick rammed-earth walls, and extensive sustainability infrastructure including solar energy, a private borehole, and a 1,000 sqm vegetable garden supporting true farm-to-table experiences.

Additional facilities include staff accommodation, treatment and technical rooms, stables, an outdoor arena, multiple ponds (one with an island), and approved planning for an additional 100 sqm house near the gardens, as well as preparation for a large outdoor yoga deck.

Recognised internationally, Quinta Marugo holds Green Globe Certification, has been featured by The Guardian as one of Europe’s best healthy retreats, and boasts exceptional guest ratings (9.8 on [hidden information], 5.0 on Google).

A fully functional, sustainably designed retreat asset in a protected natural setting—ready to operate from day one, with clear scope for future expansion.
