Awesome place, clean and spacious. Located away from hustle of the big tourist towns. Short walk to beach and restaurants. The walk back is pretty steep but totally doable, we walked it every day and never used the shuttle.
Rooms are bright and clean, staff come through every day. Most of the big beaches and attractions are within a 40min drive.
Date of stay: August 2024
Room Tip: Note that Salema is a bit cooler than than the resort towns. It’s a nice break from the heat of...

Wow what a find. We just did a google search and found this place and took a chance. So glad we did. We had a 2 bed apartment and it was really spacious. Living/dining area, large kitchen, 2 big bedrooms with en suites and our bed was huge! A garden with terrace and a large balcony overlooking the pool. Staff super friendly and a shuttle takes you down and back from the beach as the road up is pretty steep but only a 15 min walk. The pool area was not that busy or noisy although, as you would expect, it was buzzing and lively. No annoying music playing or kids club type stuff thankfully. All very grown up but lots of families. Nice pool bar serving drinks and good food. Salema itself is beautiful and quaint and rustic too. The only slight gripe I have is that the kitchen is not that well equipped so if you have a large family and don't want to eat out every night this could be tricky. Also if you are a coffee addict like me, the apartment is only equipped with one of those Nespresso things which personally i don't like!!

Room tip: There are a couple of small stores in the village, quite basic but big supermarket 10 min drive away.

Very comfortable stay at the beautiful Nau Salema! We stayed in a 3 bedroom sea view and it was perfect for our family. Very spacious, clean and the view was absolutely breathtaking!! Every staff member we encountered were professional, helpful and VERY pleasant. Shuttles to and from the beach were great. The village of Salema is something out of a movie. So serene, relaxing and picturesque. We will most definitely return!

Room tip: Definitely get the sea view!

Worst experience at the checkin ever! They make you sign a waver to let them withdraw up to 5000 euros in case they arbitrary decide that you damaged something in the appartment. But there s no photos, no document of the reception of the accomodation with the state of things. You just have to wait and hope that they don t abusively decide to charge you of something random at the end of your stay. Nowhere in the world has something like this happened to us. I would not recommend this resort to anyone, the stress and abuse is not worth it.

We stayed in a 2 bed townhouse with sea-view for family of four (6 nights)
Villa was huge, modern and spotless. It had everything you need for self catering including washing machine and dishwasher. Fully air conditioned. Cleaning staff come every day.
Views from the balcony and roof terrace were amazing. Downstairs has an area with sun loungers.
Felt private and quiet.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Free hotel buggy will pick you up from the beach if you find the walk too steep.
The whole complex is beautifully maintained.

The villas are brilliant. We had a 3 bed luxury villa near the pool. Great size of rooms. Air con effective (and needed). 4 balconies, air dryer, garden with sun loungers. En suite king bedroom and two twins - big fitted wardrobes, lots of storage. Daily maid service which was great. Lots of towels and you can borrow beach umbrellas for free. Modern kitchen and facilties. Could do with salt, pepper as standard. Would recommend you take some dishwashing tablets and travel washing powder. We got some from reception, 5€ for 5. Ouch. But bar that, it's honestly great. The pool was great, got busy with young children at times, but that was fine.

The wind picks up in the evening, but in July it was refreshing and welcome.

Salema village is small, but beautiful. A few good restaurants and cafes. But it's a really steep hill. The free buggy service from the resort was welcome. Easy to get down, we didn't work out how to book it to get it back up! Not fun in nearly 30C heat.

Salema us about 15 mins from Sagres and 45 mins from Lagos. We chose it as our son loves surfing and it was a mid way point. He loved the surfing at Vila du Bispo (freeride surf school). But in the evening it was quiet and not quite the atmosphere of Lagos for older teenagers. A car is a must not a nice to have.

Reception staff were always helpful and nothing was too much.

Genuinely a great place to stay. We booked through Airbnb and got 20% off with a voucher, which made it all the more affordable.

Room tip: Parking place near house. Recommend take dish washing tablets and travel washing powder. Hire car a must. Borrow sunshade from reception. Lidl and Aldi nearby
