Architecture PPST Arquitectos
Though its spectacular sea views helped make it a popular spot, it gradually lost its appeal. In short, it had the setting and good bones that made it ripe for rebirth. Enter Rodrigo Machaz. “We tried to keep as many memories alive from the original hotel as possible,” he says of the full renovation he undertook on the property in 2006/2007, “even part of the hotel’s name.”
Interior design Memmo Design Team
Not wanting to divert attention from the hotel’s expansive sea views, the designers opted for minimalistic interiors characterized by neutral colors and calming furniture. The stripped-back aesthetic adapts to the natural landscape.

Sustainability Keeping an eye on our Conscious Hotel Principles
The architectural concept was to preserve the existing historical building and adapt the hotel to the space rather than make major structural changes.
The hotel has removed single-use toiletries from the rooms, only replaces linens on the third day (unless the guest requests), and removed plastic cutlery and straws from the restaurant.
Water fountains are located throughout the hotel, where staff and guests can refill their water bottles. Rainwater is collected and reused in appropriate applications.
The hotel purchases vegetables, seafood, honey, olive oil, oranges, deli products, and more from local producers.
Memmo Baleeira has created its own local guide to encourage guests to discover the area and learn about local culture.
The hotel offers beach clean-ups, yoga retreats, and more, partnering with local businesses whenever possible.
Special consideration is given to employing and empowering local employees. The hotel arranges special activities for staff throughout the year, including yoga and surfing days.
The hotel’s sustainability mission and EarthCheck partnership are displayed at reception, in the staff area, and on the website.
