Across the forest, lightweight structures hold treehouses aloft while ground-level abodes present modern eco-design.

The eco-houses, treehouses, and cottage by architect Luis Rebelo de Andrade sit between ancient trees and represent immersive architecture at its best. In the Thermal Spa, Pritzker Prize winner Alvaro Siza Vieira maximizes natural light with sweeping windows and restored stained-glass ceilings.

Interior design Nature-framed windows

Clean lines, natural light and a neutral palette: these are all emblematic of Pedras Salgadas’ interiors.

Matching the simplicity of their modular setups, the eco-houses are notable for their unadorned living spaces—the white-on-white interiors are only occasionally interrupted by the appearance of wood flooring and furniture or a natural-colored textile. Wood-lined private decks and nature-framing, full-length windows showcase the mesmerizing natural surroundings.
