This is a naturist resort run by the Dutch couple Martine & Jos. This naturist resort is located on a mountain, which gives you very nice views over the valley and the ocean. The nearest nudist beach is about half an hour away.
Samonatura is situated against a mountainside in the beautiful province of Alentejo, Portugal. Because it is higher you have a beautiful view over the valley and the Atlantic Ocean. The mountainside is called Samouqueirinha and that’s where the name Samonatura comes from, because it is a naturist resort. It is located between Vila Nova de Milfontes and the village of São Luis, about 7 km from the Atlantic Ocean. The site is 9 hectares, of which 5 hectares are pine trees and the rest is unspoilt nature with beautiful rocks. This accommodation is less suitable for people with reduced mobility.

On Nov. 29, 2021, we received the following review about Samonatura:
It is a great location “on the mountain” as we called it. We were in the house Arco Iris, very spacious and well equipped. The hot tub, sauna, pool and the beautiful vegetation on the property completed the stay. The owners Martine and Jos make you feel very welcome and take care of this place with heart and soul. In the evening we could grab wood to cozy the fireplace. The village of Vila Nova de Milfontes is a few km away and is a pleasant starting point for a nice coastal walk. We will definitely go back there again!
