Secluded Algarve Yurt Retreat in a Peaceful Forest Valley | Cabin in Portimão
2 Bedroom Cabin in Barracao, Portimão
Tucked into a forested valley in the western Algarve, Valley of the Cross offers a different kind of stay. Two spacious handcrafted yurts surrounded by nature, with plenty of room to slow down, spend time outdoors and enjoy a quieter side of southern Portugal.
Your booking includes both yurts exclusively for your group, sleeping up to six guests. The setup works especially well for families, friends or two couples travelling together who want to share the experience while still having their own separate sleeping space.
The yurts have warm circular interiors, clear central roof domes that bring in natural light and views of the sky above, and private outdoor seating areas overlooking the surrounding countryside.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

• Up to three guests per yurt

There is currently no full guest kitchen or refrigerator. We are creating a dedicated outdoor guest kitchen, which will be added once complete.
OUTDOOR SPACE
Much of the experience here happens outside.
Both yurts have their own private seating areas, giving you somewhere to enjoy morning coffee, read under the trees, have an evening drink or simply take in the surrounding valley.
Guests also have access to our 3 × 6 metre outdoor swimming pool, with sun loungers and an outdoor shower. The pool is available year-round and may occasionally be shared with guests staying in our separate guest house. The yurts, their seating areas, showers and toilets remain private to your booking.
Beyond the accommodation, the property extends into forest, hillside and open countryside, with walking routes around the land and plenty of space to explore or simply find somewhere quiet to sit.
LOCATION
Despite the secluded setting, some of the Algarve's beautiful beaches are around 15 minutes away by car, making Valley of the Cross a great base for combining time on the coast with a quieter stay inland.
The property is reached along a maintained, unpaved countryside driveway suitable for a normal car. We strongly recommend having your own vehicle, as public transport in the surrounding area is limited.
A STAY CLOSE TO NATURE
Valley of the Cross is intentionally simple, rural and connected to its surroundings. You should expect birdsong, insects, uneven ground, unpaved paths and the everyday realities of staying in the countryside.
We do not try to turn the setting into a polished resort experience. The character of the place comes from the landscape, the space around you and the chance to spend a few days living a little closer to nature.
Dogs are very welcome here. We just ask that they don’t wander into shared guest areas, and that dogs without reliable recall stay on a leash. We also have a friendly dog who lives onsite and is kept away from guest areas during stays.
If you are looking for somewhere with character, space and a slower pace, the yurts at Valley of the Cross offer a memorable base from which to experience the Algarve.
