Praia Fluvial da Póvoa e Meadas sits on the Póvoa e Meadas reservoir, one of the largest in the Alentejo, formed by the waters of the Vale da Roda stream. The cork-oak and olive-grove landscape typical of the Upper Alentejo and the high summer temperatures make its water warm and inviting. Proximity to Castelo de Vide, one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Portugal, adds depth to any visit.

Praia Fluvial de Gavião sits on the banks of the River Tagus, next to the mouth of the River Ocreza, in a landscape of schist and pine trees. The calm, translucent water of the Tagus in this stretch of the Upper Alentejo is much appreciated, and the wild, quiet setting contrasts with the bustle of coastal beaches. The village of Gavião sits on a rocky spur with panoramic views over the confluence of the two rivers.

Praia Fluvial de Marvão sits on the banks of the Sever stream, in a deep valley in the São Mamede mountain range, between the Spanish border and the medieval village of Marvão, considered one of the most beautiful in Portugal. Cool, clean stream water, surrounded by trees and schist, creates a perfect natural oasis for hot Alentejo summer days. The nearby Marvão waterfall is a stunning natural complement.

Praia Fluvial de Nisa sits on the Apartadura reservoir in the Upper Alentejo, with warm, crystal-clear water and a landscape of granite hills typical of the region. The reservoir is a popular sport-fishing destination, and its banks offer good conditions for bathing leisure. The town of Nisa is known for the quality of its olive oil and its regional sweets.
