Kalumi Aparthotels
Designed for life on the Alentejo Coast
Vila Nova de Milfontes, the princess of Alentejo
Why Alentejo?
Alentejo moves differently. With fewer people, more coastline, and no rush to do anything in particular, com calma is a common refrain here.
Why Vila Nova de Milfontes?
A coastal town between Lisbon and the Algarve, Vila Nova de Milfontes has wild beaches, a river that meets the Atlantic, and fewer crowds than most of Portugal.
That’s why we chose it.

What your days can look like
The Alentejo rhythm
Start the morning with coffee on the terrace. Walk to the farmer's market for fresh bread, fruit, and whatever came in from the boats (it closes at 14:00). Head to Praia do Malhão. Come back, cook something simple, or let us take care of dinner. Stay out late dancing at Club Sudwest, or don’t. It’s quiet here either way.

What guests say
Simon (Airbnb)
The hosts are incredibly sweet and very committed. As far as I could tell, this is their only place, and you really feel how much love and attention they put into making everything perfect. Any small issues were resolved immediately, which is always the best sign of truly great hosts. The terrace is sunny, airy and the perfect place to relax — it really completes the experience of staying here. All the best, and thank you again for a fantastic stay!

A brand-new beautifully decorated apartment. All the equipment was top quality and very comfortable in winter weather. The layout was very well thought out, and it didn't feel cramped. Parking is outside, but it's easy to find a space.

Such a lovely little stop for a few days as we made our way from Lagos to Porto! The apartment was spotless and clearly very well maintained, exactly what we needed for a comfortable break midtrip.
We had the pleasure of meeting the owners, a truly lovely couple who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They stocked the kitchen with bread, eggs, butter, jam, and more, which was such a thoughtful touch. Even more special, my partner had secretly arranged for them to leave a printed welcome letter and a bottle of wine to celebrate my birthday, and they pulled it off perfectly!
It’s rare to find hosts who put this much genuine care into a guest’s stay. They made us feel completely at home, and we’re already planning to come back, this time bringing friends and family along. Highly recommend for anyone passing through the area!

We had a great stay. We were in a pinch as we had to leave another Airbnb due to issues with the power going out repeatedly. We booked this one in the early evening and the host responded almost immediately. They were able to get the apartment ready for us very quickly and were extremely responsive throughout the process. The apartment was very nice, and the beds were comfortable. The hosts also provided a very generous selection of items for breakfast including bread, eggs, and milk. The location was very quiet and a short walk to the center of town. We found street parking easily as well. I’m grateful to the hosts for rescuing what could have been a disaster!
Portugal without the crowds ...
