Alentejo, Portugal
Herdade da Malhadinha Nova
An estate within the heart of Alentejo
A modern retreat in rural Portugal
Perfectly integrated into the landscape, Herdade da Malhadinha Nova has five guest accommodations, with 26 rooms in total. They portray the various chapters in the history of this family-style project built around wine. Choose from peaceful villas, a country house or spectacular guest suites, many of which feature private balconies and exterior areas with singular views over the Alentejo plains and the outdoor pool.
For dining head to Herdade da Malhadinha Nova’s restaurant which draws inspiration from the local regional cuisine. Here all of the food is created with the organic produce grown on the estate, from the fields, vineyard, olive grove and pastures.
To indulge yourself further, make your way to the M Wellness spa. The treatments here are provided by Azores-born brand IGNAE and focus on specific facial products and body treatments. These use wine, honey and rosemary: three primary ingredients of Herdade da Malhadinha Nova.
The M Wellness Spa also offers experiences combining yoga classes, sensory showers and a sauna along with nutritional lunches made up of organic ingredients produced on the estate. These lunches are paired with wine, olive oil and honey. You can also take part in relaxation therapies or chakra alignment. Outside of the property you can enjoy activities such as an exhilarating balloon ride or skydive, or take it slow with a day spent baking bread and learning artisanal techniques.
The impact of your stay:
- As a guest, your stay helps support Malhadinha Nova’s contributions towards local cultural, sports and healthcare institutions.
- Herdade da Malhadinha Nova is located in one of Portugal’s key Special Protection Zones. The stay actively contributes to biodiversity and ecosystem preservation. The estate’s 610 hectares were converted to a biological regime in 2017, receiving official certification in 2020. Most of their wines are fully organic, utilising natural fertilisation, sheep grazing for weed control and species like broad beans and clover to enhance soil and create habitats.
- Guests at the hotel are invited to immersive themselves in local culture through hands-on workshops with skilled artisans, celebrating the richness of local crafts, traditions and cuisine. You can experience the region’s heritage with lively performances and engaging programmes showcasing talented local artists.
