Cocoon a 275 acre farm, located just ten minutes from the beach. Cocoon is based in Coastal Alentejo, the wild and untouched coast of Portugal. It's far removed from the coastal tourist culture of the rest of Europe. The beaches are open and expansive, the coastline is magnificent, and it's interwoven with traditional whitewashed villages.
It's roughly two hours south of Lisbon, and slightly closer from Faro. The ocean, with bluffs, trails, and sandy coves, is a 10 minute drive away.
