Off-grid stay on the edge of the lagoon — open, quiet and tucked away
About This Place
Alma do Pinhal is a peaceful off-grid piece of land set right on the edge of the Lagoa de Óbidos, with open views across the lagoon and a strong connection to nature.
This area of the land sits closer to the lagoon, with a more open and expansive feel. There’s a stronger sense of space here, with wide views and a quieter, more exposed setting.
The land is rich in wildlife and completely off-grid, with no visible infrastructure. It’s a calm and natural setting, ideal for slowing down and spending time close to the lagoon and surrounding coastline.
