Good to Know

A few tips to help you make the most of the weekend in Ericeira.

🌊

Surf & Beaches

Ericeira is a World Surfing Reserve. Bring your swimsuit and sunnies! Don't miss Ribeira d'Ilhas and Foz do Lizandro beaches.

🍽️

Restaurants

For fresh seafood, try Furnas or Ribas Marisqueira. For something casual, Mar d'Areia is a must. Mar das Latas is fancier and delicious, Buco Smash Burger is a local favorite, and Onegai for Japanese.

Coffee Shops

Dear Rose for specialty coffee, Terço do Meio for pastries and fresh bread, Magic Quiver for the surf vibe, and Vizinha in Santo Isidoro for a hidden gem.

🌿

The Organic Way

Café, cantina, grocery, studio, and sauna all in one. Great for a healthy meal, events, or just a good vibe. A local favorite.

🚐

Getting Around

The village is small and walkable. For anything further, just grab an Uber. They work well in the area.

💻

Coworking

Every Wednesday we host a coworking day at our place. If you're in town on April 15th, you're invited to join! Hurley Café and Balagan are also great spots to work from.

🧖

At Our Place

Our home has a sauna, pool, and jacuzzi. Feel free to use them while you're in town, even during the week! We'll also have a group workout with a personal trainer on Wednesday (April 15th).

🧥

What to Wear

April in Ericeira is pleasant but can get cool and windy in the evenings. Bring a light jacket or hoodie and comfortable shoes.

📱

Essentials

Portugal uses Type F power plugs (same as most of Europe). The currency is Euro (€). Most places accept card, but bring some cash for smaller spots. Tap water is safe to drink.

🗺️

On Your Way to Ericeira

Fly into Lisbon Airport (LIS). Ericeira is just 35–40 minutes from there. Here are the best ways to get from the airport to us.

🚕

Uber / Bolt

Both apps work well from Lisbon Airport to Ericeira. Quick to book and a convenient option if you prefer not to drive.

🚗

Rent a Car

Rent a car at the airport and drive to Ericeira via the A21 highway, about 40 minutes. Great if you want to explore the coast on your own. Parking is available in town.

💌

Confirm Your Presence

Please let us know by April 10, 2026 so we can prepare everything with care.
