Welcoming people has always been at the heart of what I do. Since 2016, I have been dedicated to creating warm and inspiring spaces for travelers from all over the world. My story began in Sri Lanka, where I managed my own guesthouse for five years in a region that attracted surfers, yoga enthusiasts, and Nature lovers. It was there that I discovered the profound joy of connecting with people from different backgrounds and offering them a place where they could feel at home. In 2022, I arrived in Portugal and continued to work in tourism. Today, I am fully dedicated to Arrifana Pines, where I continue to share my passion for hospitality and creating unique experiences. Hosting is not just about providing a place to stay. It is about creating an environment where everyone can feel comfortable, recharge, and connect—not only with the world around them but also with one another. My hope is that every guest leaves feeling inspired, at ease, and like they’ve found a little piece of home away from home. Céline Ruiz & my beloved dog Mirissa

Our sunny villa is located on the outskirts of Aljezur, offering you a quiet, private space without being in the middle of nowhere. Vales in the middle of the Costa Vicentina nature reserve. This area is very popular amongst families, nature lovers and surfers alike. A selection of restaurants & bars and a small supermarket are there for your day to day comforts. Aljezur is located on the west coast of the Algarve in the heart of the natural park Costa Vicentina. An impressive beauty retains unforgettable landscapes between the mountain range and the sea. The coastline is formed uniquely by nature. The sound of the waves creates a natural symphony, which serves as background music for long hikes or just a short walk on the seashore. Large sandy beaches and coves, divided by magnificent, rugged cliffs, with the consistent waves of the Atlantic Ocean, offer unique surfing conditions throughout the year.
