Weekend getaways in Central Portugal

Would you like to spend a night in a tree house? Then we suggest the Bukubaki- property that focuses on the concept of the famous "tree houses".

Located in Peniche, the space is surrounded by pine and eucalyptus trees and defends the principles of ecological tourism and a healthy lifestyle, linked to nature.

In Bukubaki the houses are not really suspended from the trees, but are intertwined with them.

Undoubtedly, the respect for nature and the concern for sustainability that live in this place, give even more magic to the space.

There are three types of tree houses, some larger and others smaller, but all include in addition to the bedroom and bathroom, a dining room with kitchenette, which gives the feeling that you live in the middle of the forest, even if just for a little while.

For those who do not want to venture between the ground and the trees, they can always stay in one of the available glamping tents, with a gyspsy-chic decor, which are also cozy for a getaway with the better half.

Physical activity and adventure are part of the style advocated by the Bukubaki philosophy. Thus, there are diverse experiences that guests can experience. Skate lessons at the skate bowl, electric bike rides and yoga and pilates sessions are some of the activities you can try. Those who do not want to leave the property can relax in the salt water pool or have a refreshment on the restaurant's terrace.

You should also try the Bukubaki restaurant, as it focuses on Italian dishes, but with very Portuguese products, from organic agriculture and local products, in a perfect fusion between the flavors of the two cultures, a real delight!
