Luxury Hotel
Évora, Portugal

About the hotel
Set on the Herdade do Perdiganito estate just outside Évora, Octant Évora enjoys an idyllic location surrounded by rolling plains, meadows, walking trails, and the waters of the Monte Novo Dam. The hotel offers a tranquil countryside escape while remaining within easy reach of Évora’s historic centre and the cultural treasures of Portugal’s Alentejo region.
Designed around Octant Hotels’ philosophy of “Local Kind of Luxury,” the property embraces freedom, authenticity, and a deep connection with its surroundings. Contemporary architecture blends seamlessly with traditional Alentejo influences, using natural materials, handcrafted details, rustic woods, and local craftsmanship throughout the interiors.
Accommodation includes 56 rooms and 16 private villas, all designed to maximise the connection with nature through outdoor living areas, terraces, or private pools. Guests can enjoy five outdoor swimming pools, a heated indoor spa pool, wellness facilities, locally inspired gastronomy, and spacious outdoor areas spread across the estate.
What distinguishes Octant Évora is its emphasis on slowing down and experiencing Alentejo through carefully curated activities, regional cuisine, wellness, and authentic encounters with local culture. Every stay is designed to celebrate the landscape, traditions, and slower rhythm of southern Portugal.
Today, Octant Évora is best suited to couples, families, wellness travellers, food lovers, and guests seeking an immersive countryside retreat surrounded by nature.

Creator experience
“From sunrise to sunset, everything about Octant Évora invited me to embrace a slower pace. The peaceful Alentejo landscape, thoughtful architecture, and warm hospitality created an atmosphere where it was easy to switch off completely. Whether I was enjoying the local cuisine or simply taking in the silence around me, it felt like one of those rare places that leaves you feeling genuinely refreshed.”
