MICHELIN Guide 2026 — Hotel Selection

Hotel Selection 2026

Quinta da Arrábida has been selected in the MICHELIN Guide 2026

The MICHELIN Guide

Created in 1900 by the Michelin brothers to accompany France's first motorists, the MICHELIN Guide has become, over more than a century, the world's reference for excellence in travel — first in gastronomy and now in hospitality as well.

The Guide's inspectors are anonymous and independent. They visit, assess and select only the establishments they consider truly remarkable — a selection that cannot be bought or applied for: it is earned.

Joining the MICHELIN Guide Hotel Selection means belonging to a small group of houses worldwide, recognised for the experience of the stay they offer.

The five selection criteria

  1. 1

    Connection to the destination — the stay as a genuine gateway to the place and its culture.

  2. 2

    Excellence in architecture and design — spaces conceived with intention, balance and beauty.

  3. 3

    Quality of service — attention, comfort and care in every detail of the experience.

  4. 4

    Authenticity and character — a personality of its own, impossible to replicate anywhere else.

  5. 5

    Value for money — an experience that honours what you invest in it.

A thank-you to our guests

This selection is not ours alone — it belongs to everyone who has stayed with us. To every guest who chose Quinta da Arrábida, lived in our houses, walked the Arrábida hills and shared their experience: our heartfelt thank you. You made this recognition possible.

Every stay, every kind word and every return helped build what the MICHELIN Guide now distinguishes — a place with soul, made of genuine encounters. This distinction is as much yours as it is ours.

We look forward to welcoming you — come and experience Quinta da Arrábida.
