Uxa Paraíso - Open Air Hotel

If you love nature this is THE place to be during your holidays. Julien is a fantastic host - a tiny pool and a nice bar make your experience a relaxing one as well. The dog can be nasty but playing with her helps making friends. We were on of the first campers staying uphill - offering beautiful views and a lovely sunset.

Our experience at Uxa Paraíso was nothing short of wonderful. Julien, our exceptional host, created a true gem nestled within nature. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for an unforgettable time. The tranquil surroundings, combined with Julien's warm hospitality, made our stay truly magical. We had the time of our lives and left with cherished memories that will stay with us forever.

Lovely nature campsite with great pre-set-up tents and caravans. Julien is a very friendly and funny host! The views are amazing, the spots are very spacious and the pool is nice. The road to arrive is a dirt road, but its good quality and very easy to drive with any car. Highly recommended for a unique stay, will come back for sure!

It’s a very unique place with a great view from all over the place. Great place for campervans. The pool is really nice and the terrace/bar area as well. Facilities are really clean. It’s the perfect place to relax and calm down.

They also offer a breakfast buffet for 4€

Beautiful little campsite surrounded by nature. The campsite is run mainly by volunteers, which co tributes to its relaxed atmosphere. We stayed in our van, not the glamping facilities, so it was also really cheap. It has shared facilities for cooking and a lovely pool with beautiful views. The only problem with the pool is that it was almost never available, because of families with kids who would stay for hours. The common bathrooms were fairly clean, but could have been cleaned more often in covid times. However, the beauty and calm of the place compensates for everything else.

Amazing spot to enjoy nature and relax. Julien is super welcoming and accommodating.
A piece of paradise on earth.

This place is truly near paradise! The surroundings are beautiful, you get out of your tent and can see green everywhere and a clear starry sky at night. We stayed at a tent for 5 and it was a magical night. The host is the most friendly person ever! He was always asking how we were and if we needed anything.
There is a pool, a bar with food and drinks, clean bathrooms and showers, and a small kitchen with a small fridge to share with the rest of the guests in the hotel. Keep in mind there is no stove or microwave so if you take your own food make sure you don't need to cook it.
This is a very safe and friendly place for everyone, with smiles and good vibes going around. Perfect for family trips with kids, a group of friends or your significant other. They are friendly with pets too!
All around an awesome experience, definitely going to visit again!

I will strongly recommend this beautiful place. Friendly and inspiring.

We stayed here for our last night in Portugal. All six people in one tent all agreeing it was our best sleep here. The beds are comfy with thick duvets and soft pillows.

Breakfast and coffee with all you can eat for 5 euro.

During the night you can party under a rock only 200 m away from the camping area without worrying about noise. The Forrest in between works as a barrier so the sound does not reach the sleeping people. In the camping area you have to be quiet from 23.00

Words are not enough, see the pictures.

Wonderful experience in the peacefulness of the nature. No light pollution, with amazing star gazing. You can bring your own food or there's a bar serving toasts and breakfast and some drinks.

Staying at Uxa Paraiso was such a wonderful experience! It’s an amazing place with super friendly hosts and excellent facilities. It's the ideal place to have a quiet break away from the city. I want to recommend it to everyone but at the same time I feel like I want to be a bit selfish and keep it a secret and be able to go there again and enjoy it’s peacefulness :)

We had a wonderful experience with the children. The tents are neat and tidy and it makes camping a lot more fun having the pros and not the cons of a camping trip. I highly recommend Uxa.

Paradise in a secluded part of Amazing Portugal. Great place, great host and excellent facilities. We will be back again in the future and reccomend this place to everyone. Come and see this amazing part of Portugal. There is something beautiful aroumd every corner. Thanks Julien and to all who volunteer there. Aaron and Sarah 😎

What a nice piece of earth! Julien lives the dream of many! Having his own piece of land and bildung his own interpretation of hospitality! Podests with nice tents, old caravans and then there is this small but lovely pool! We were completely stoked by his vision! And soo jealous!! Bet here for dinner! Jenny is a genius Chef! A la votre!!

Uxa Paraiso is the perfect spot to have a break out of the city hectic life. Surrounded by eucalyptus, pines and olive trees, my family and I spent a very good stay in the tent. You will have the feeling to be back somehow in the 70’s. The concept is also eco friendly with good practices such as a permaculture’s garden. At last but not the least, Julien was a perfect host and was very happy to share his passion for this concept called Glamping!

Great place to be at peace in the mountains. Owner is really nice, even funny for a French guy ;) He really made a beautiful place.

In love with this place! Amazing views, super host, cozy tends and vans... all this in the middle of the very beautiful and peaceful nature.

Uxa Paraíso, in Penela. The best place to have a cosy and warmful break from the daily life frenzy, surrounded by peaceful nature. A beautiful project built from scratch in the centre of Portugal that I was lucky enough to get to know this summer. I highly highly recommend it. Julien, the author and host, is taking glamping to another level. But don't take my words for it, go check it out! The challenge is on! 😏

Cool place. Dissolves nicely in nature. You get everything you need to be comfort and in nature. Julian is kind and helpfull. I will be back.

Welcoming open air hotel with an amazing host Julien. You can easily walk to penela for a bit to eat or the market on Thursdays. If you go to the market I recommend the chicken stall!

Amazing place with amazing people. The location is beautiful, and everything is just about perfect. Had a great time with my family.
