You and the sea - Ericeira Hotel and Apartments

The name is a promise the address keeps: this apartment-style boutique hotel sits within walking distance of Praia do Sul beach in Ericeira, Portugal's designated surf reserve. The 36 fully serviced apartments run from studios up to five-bedroom spreads, and the hotel adds a spa, heated indoor pool, and a restaurant tied to a well-known Lisbon kitchen. Lisbon is under an hour away, but the Atlantic tends to win the argument.
