Activities
At Na-Be
There is a gorgeous natural swimming pool sitting within the lavender garden for guests to use.
You can head over to the Na-Be Lavendar Lodge Spa for a selection of treatments such as massages, herbal packs and wraps, hydrotherapy, all of which are done with home prepared products straight from the lavender flowers and herbs of the garden. Joelle would be happy to set up a DIY wellness day for you on request, where you will learn to make natural cosmetic and indulge in home spa treatments, for an extra charge.
In September, you can turn your hand to lavender harvesting from the Lodge's lavender farm.
Places to visit
There are many pretty and interesting little villages nearby, each with its own traditions, festivities and handmade crafts. There are pilgrimages and colourful folklore festivals throughout the year where you can dine on traditional dishes and sample Minho's famous green wine.
Outdoor and Active
The region is famous for its refreshingly clean rivers and streams, extensive and clean beaches, breathtaking views, green mountains and endless fields so there's lots of opportunities for adventure and extreme sports. Go hiking in the National Park Peneda-Geres, grab a GPS or rent a bike from the Lavender Lodge and head out on an exclusive self guided tour.
