Tivoli Estela Golf Lodges

★★★★☆

Nature Resort

Porto, Portugal

A nature-focused retreat with private lodges, Atlantic views, golf, wellness, and outdoor experiences on Portugal's northern coast.

About the hotel

Located on Portugal's northwest coast near Póvoa de Varzim, Tivoli Estela Golf & Lodges combines the tranquillity of nature with easy access to the Atlantic Ocean, Estela Golf Course, and the historic city of Porto. The resort is surrounded by dunes, greenery, and coastal landscapes, while Porto is around 45 minutes away and Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport approximately 30 minutes by car.

The resort introduces a new approach to countryside hospitality through standalone lodges designed to blend into the surrounding landscape. Created around privacy, space, and a closer connection with nature, the property combines contemporary comfort with an outdoor-focused experience where guests can slow down and enjoy the Atlantic setting.

The property features 80 lodges distributed throughout the landscape, offering privacy, protection from the coastal winds, and views of the surrounding natural environment. Accommodation options include suites with separate living areas and family lodges that can accommodate up to four guests, making the resort suitable for both couples and longer family stays.

Golf is one of the defining elements of the experience, with the 18-hole Estela Golf Course surrounding the resort and providing a unique coastal setting. Beyond golf, guests can enjoy two outdoor swimming pools, including an adults-only pool, padel courts, a gym, wellness facilities, and dining spaces offering relaxed meals overlooking the landscape.

Today, Tivoli Estela Golf & Lodges is particularly suited to couples, golf enthusiasts, families, and nature-focused travellers seeking a peaceful escape that combines outdoor activities, contemporary lodges, Atlantic landscapes, and proximity to Porto.

Creator experience

Gonçalo Graça

“Tivoli Estela Golf Lodges is one of those places where it feels effortless to slow down. Surrounded by the Atlantic coastline, the peaceful atmosphere, beautifully designed lodges, and sense of privacy made it the perfect escape. Whether playing golf, trying paddle sports, relaxing at the spa, or simply walking straight onto the beach, every part of the resort felt thoughtfully connected. Combined with outstanding dining and Tivoli's signature hospitality, it was an experience I can't wait to return to.”
