Beaches of the northeast: Etnia

Etnia

Etnia's chic aesthetic is much in keeping with its location in the relaxed yet upmarket beach town of Trancoso.

It is an intimate boutique hotel immaculately designed in a simple, contemporary style that could be described as barefoot luxury. There are just eight whitewashed bungalows in the hotel's shaded tropical grounds of mango and banana trees. Each is individually furnished and inspired by a different part of the globe, from Africa to Asia. There's a delightful restaurant and bar area with fluttering white drapes, and a large swimming pool surrounded by a wooden deck and semi-open lounge. Trancoso's wonderful tropical beaches are a 20-minute walk away.

What our experts say

Each of the exclusive bungalows have been beautifully and lovingly decorated and are set in the grounds of a lush tropical garden. After browsing the little boutiques in town or strolling along the kilometres of beach my favourite part of the day was heading back to the serenity of Etnia for a dip in the cooling pool. The staff and service are impeccable without being formal and there is a menu of activities on offer if relaxing in your bungalow gets too much. They also have a fantastic shop in town with a variety of unusual gifts to take home with you. A genuinely lovely place to stay.
