Real Abadia Congress & Spa Hotel: A collective love story

“The Real Abadia project was the result of our family’s art of welcoming people from all parts of the world for many years”.

Rita Leão

The most captivating hotel stories are told between the lines of architecture, décor, their people and the services provided. The Real Abadia is no different.

With a superb visual evocation of the Cistercian heritage of the Alcobaça region, Real Abadia offers a warm atmosphere resulting from a mix of different cultural elements of the region.

In addition to the exquisite decoration, filled with ceramics and crafts from the region, the large and bright common spaces, the touch of elegance evident in every detail, Real Abadia offers, above all, the comfort of a hot drink on a winter day.

Detail carefully curated

Every detail is carefully considered, from the themed Suites that evoke the love of Pedro and Inês de Castro to the Villas inspired by the old coutos of Alcobaça. The Spa, on another hand, asserts as a place for the body and the spirit, inviting you to relax, while taking you in an almost meditative experience.

The outdoor spaces are places of sharing and union, where the fusion between green spaces, the stunning landscape, the aroma of the orchards, the refreshing pool, leaves no doubt about where to spend quality time during the sunny days. The chance of seeing and interacting with some farm animals enriches the outdoor experience, taking you back to the rural roots of the Alcobaça region.

Finally, but not least, the proximity and availability of the entire staff adds a unique, yet somehow familiar touch, making you fell not only at home but also special.

The story between the lines is a love story for Alcobaça

The story between the lines is a love story… As the director of the hotel Rita Leão proudly says “The Real Abadia project was the result of our family’s art of welcoming people from all parts of the world for many years”.

More than a family story, Real Abadia is a love story for the Alcobaça region. Since it opened its doors in 2009, this space has embraced and incorporated several cultural elements, from the Alcobaça Monastery (Rosacea, Porta do Magriço, Flor de Liz, among others), to reed crafts and frescoes from the Monastery of Santa Maria de Coz, in both the decoration and the accommodations.

On the other hand, the portraits mural showing relevant personalities to local and national history, together with local partnerships, from gastronomy, gin, crafts and the fabric of the traditional Chita de Alcobaça, shown on employees’ uniforms, tell the love story for the people of Alcobaça. A story of collective love, for the same common goal: making Alcobaça a tourist destination of excellence, based on the historical and cultural honesty of rich and indispensable location in the Portuguese identity.

Visit Alcobaça with your partner, or with your family, and be sure to stop by Real Abadia for a welcoming stay.
