Tivoli Estela Golf & Lodges: a nature retreat on Portugal’s northwest coast


Tivoli expands in Portugal with Tivoli Estela Golf & Lodges Porto. Set 45 mins north of Porto, it offers elegant lodges in a beach town. Next to Estela Golf Club, guests enjoy scenic links courses and a secluded golden beach along the Atlantic coast—a perfect blend of luxury and nature.


Modern black cabins set in a lush forest with blue sky. Large windows reflect sunlight. Pathway and trees create a serene, natural vibe.

Ideal for nature and sports lovers or families at leisure, Tivoli Estela Golf & Lodges sits within an eight-hectare property, with 80 wooden lodges dotted around lush landscaping, just a few minutes' walk from the beach and golf course, surrounded by majestic pine trees and enveloped by the scent of the sea, inviting guests to disconnect and embrace the slow-living that represents Tivoli Hotels & Resorts’ brand essence.

Of the 80 lodges on the property, five are suites including a separate bedroom, living room, and kitchenette, and five are family lodges accommodating up to five people, including two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchenette. The remaining 70 lodges feature a bedroom with an integrated living room. All have an outdoor terrace equipped with a table and chairs. The décor, in shades of green, beige, and brown, with a focus on wood, seeks to bring nature indoors. Glass doors invite to a connection with the outdoors.

The gastronomy showcases the best flavours of Portuguese cuisine, with a restaurant and two bars, where each meal offers the opportunity to slow down, explore, and truly savour each moment. Green's Restaurant, with a classic and cosy atmosphere, serves lunch and dinner, offering from themed buffets to à la carte menus, highlighting the daily catch and fresh regional produce. The Dunas Bar offers an all-day dining menu featuring casual dishes, as well as a variety of appetisers and wines. The Pool Bar serves light meals throughout the day.


The Tivoli Estela Golf & Lodges’ wellness centre offers a diverse menu of holistic, Eastern-inspired therapies, including the four-hand Abhyanga massage, performed by two therapists in perfect harmony. In addition to the three treatment rooms, the wellness centre features an indoor heated hydrotherapy pool (adults only), a Turkish bath, a sauna, and a gym with top-of-the-range Technogym equipment. The leisure facilities also include an outdoor heated pool, with a separate children’s pool, a children’s playground, two outdoor paddle tennis courts and bicycles available for guests to explore the surrounding area.

The property has a 125sqm fully equipped meeting room with natural light, overlooking the gardens, with capacity for up to 60 people, surrounded by the tranquillity of nature and a short distance from the beach and the golf course.


Tivoli Estela Golf & Lodges is dedicated to creating memorable experiences for its guests. From golf, surfing, and kitesurfing lessons to yoga, horseback riding, painting workshops, hiking, or all-day tours of the Douro region, there are numerous options available. Just steps away is one of the country's finest golf courses — the 18-hole Estela Golf Club — host to several national and international tournaments. This links course offers year-round sunshine, cool breezes, and stunning views of the Atlantic along its three-kilometre coastal course.


Modern gym with various equipment including a treadmill, weights, and exercise ball. Large windows overlook a green lawn, creating a serene setting.

Guests are invited to explore the Póvoa de Varzim region, with its beautiful beaches, marina, casino and a wide selection of restaurants and bars, as well as to discover nearby historical cities such as Viana do Castelo, Braga, Guimarães, Barcelos and Ponte de Lima, and, of course, the vibrant city of Porto, all located within 30 to 45 minutes' drive.
