The Silver Coast
Discover the Silver Coast of Portugal
Where the Atlantic Meets the Lagoon
The Lodge is perfectly located on Portugal's stunning Silver Coast (Costa de Prata) — one of Europe's most authentic and naturally beautiful coastal regions. From medieval towns and world-class surf to relaxed family beaches and big-wave legends, everything is within easy reach.
Óbidos
Just a short drive away, Óbidos is one of Portugal's most charming medieval towns. Encircled by ancient stone walls and crowned by its historic castle (now a traditional pousada), Óbidos is a beautifully preserved example of medieval architecture.
Wander through cobbled streets, explore whitewashed houses trimmed in blue and yellow, and enjoy local cafés and artisan shops. The municipality is also home to the renowned Praia D'El Rey Golf & Beach Resort and Royal Óbidos Spa & Golf Resort — making the region ideal for guests combining kitesurfing holidays with golf or cultural exploration.
Peniche
Peniche is internationally known for its long beaches, consistent wind, and world-class surf breaks. It's a hotspot for surfing, bodyboarding, windsurfing, and kitesurfing in Portugal.
The legendary Supertubos break — often called the “European Pipeline” — produces fast, hollow waves comparable to Hawaii's Banzai Pipeline. With reliable Atlantic swells and steady wind conditions, Peniche remains one of Europe's top surf destinations. For guests at The Lodge, it's a dream playground just minutes away.
Nazaré
Nazaré became world-famous when big-wave surfers rode record-breaking waves at Praia do Norte. Surfers like Garrett McNamara put Nazaré on the global map after riding a then world-record wave in 2011.
The phenomenon is caused by the underwater Nazaré Canyon, which amplifies incoming Atlantic swells and creates some of the largest surfable waves on the planet. Even on smaller days, Nazaré's cliffs, lighthouse views, and fishing-town atmosphere make it well worth a visit.
São Martinho do Porto
In contrast to the Atlantic's power, São Martinho do Porto offers a sheltered, scallop-shaped bay with calm, crystal-clear waters and fine golden sand.
It's one of the best family-friendly beaches on Portugal's West Coast — perfect for relaxed swimming, sunset walks, and long terrace lunches overlooking the water.
Lisbon
Just about an hour away, Lisbon blends historic charm with modern energy. From Romanesque and Gothic landmarks to Manueline and contemporary architecture, the Portuguese capital offers culture, nightlife, cuisine, and design all in one place.
Stroll down Avenida da Liberdade, explore historic districts like Alfama, or enjoy sunset views over the Tagus River before returning to the calm, wind-driven rhythm of the Silver Coast.
Caldas da Rainha
Caldas da Rainha is a creative and cultural hub of the region. Known for its ceramics and arts scene, the city hosts museums, galleries, exhibitions, and festivals throughout the year.
It's also home to major cultural venues such as the Centro Cultural e de Congressos and Expoeste Exhibition Centre — adding depth to your stay beyond the ocean.
Why This Matters for Your Stay
Staying at The Lodge means more than just a kitesurfing holiday in Portugal. You're based in the heart of the Silver Coast — with world-class surf, medieval towns, big-wave history, golf resorts, and Lisbon city life all within easy reach.
Wind, culture, nature, and lifestyle — all in one region.
