At ORO the journey begins in the earth

WHY ORO

The ORO Collective exists to offer authentic farm-to-coast hospitality that regenerates the land, honours local culture and fosters a vibrant community. We invite our guests to share a meal at our gathering places, embrace social wellness and fitness, unwind at our beach, slow down, reconnect, and feel at home.

WHO IT IS FOR

Cultivated travellers, makers and growers, ocean lovers, neighbours and families. People who value nature, craft, slow culture and shared meaning.

LOCATION

Quinta dos Chãos Santo Isidoro

Cliffside overlooking the ocean with waves crashing onto the sandy beach below, under a partly cloudy sky during sunset.

Quinta dos Chãos is in Santo Isidoro, just outside Ericeira, in Portugal’s Mafra region. Close enough to Lisbon for an easy countryside escape, yet immersed in nature.

Each part of the estate has its own place in the landscape, from forest to farmland. A central wooded area separates the guest accommodation from the working farm, and every building is set to feel surrounded by nature rather than looking at it from a distance.

Connecting people through nature

A place shaped by the landscape, where architecture, nature, food and community come together in an effortless rhythm.

THE QUINTA - At the heart of ORO, a historic estate reimagined as a place to stay, gather and slow down. Old stone, new spaces, gardens and quiet corners come together.

THE CASAS - Homes immersed in nature, designed for relaxed indoor-outdoor living. Private gardens, peaceful terraces and spaces made for long mornings, shared lunches and golden evenings.

THE THIRD SPACE - A place to move, unwind, meet and reconnect. Wellness, movement, conversation and community flow naturally between indoors and out.

THE LAKE - A peaceful retreat within the landscape, surrounded by water, greenery and small places to stay. A more intimate way to experience ORO.

THE FARM - A living, working farm at the heart of everyday life. Seasonal produce, growing, learning and gathering around food, from soil to table.

THE LAB - Herbal workshops and hands-on making, guided by the plants that grow on the land.

THE BEACH - Indigo, our bistro and beach bar on Foz do Lizandro, ten minutes down the hill.

THE LANDSCAPE - Olive groves, forest paths, open fields and trails weave everything together. A landscape made to be walked, explored and experienced at your own pace.

More than a destination, ORO is a way of living closer to nature, and closer to one another.
