Company info
Laranjal Group was born in 2016 from a deep connection to the land, to nature, and to a belief in how a stay should be lived: unhurried, comfortable, and with a true sense of home.
The name traces back to an 8-hectare estate blanketed in orange trees — a fruit emblematic of the Algarve — where the group's first property was built: Farm House🌿🍊. A rural retreat in Moncarapacho, set in one of the quietest corners of the Eastern Algarve, where privacy, comfort, tranquillity, and peace are not amenities — they are the experience itself. A rural tourism property in the Algarve that remains the beating heart of the group's identity.
It is in this same spirit that Rive Gauche 🌺🌊 was created. A property that shares the same essential values, but in a more dynamic, urban setting. Located in the historic centre of Tavira, surrounded by vibrant streets, restaurants, cultural landmarks, and local commerce.
👀Our Vision
Grupo Laranjal goes beyond accommodation. We work continuously around three pillars: the art of Portuguese hospitality, an obsessive attention to detail, and the curation of Portuguese art and culture in every space we create. Our goal is to offer more than a place to sleep, we want to create lasting memories, and to share with every guest the word that best captures our soul: saudade.
A feeling that is uniquely, untranslatably Portuguese. Hard to explain, easy to feel. Saudade lives in the duality of melancholy and beauty — the longing for a time gone by, the absence of someone loved, the bittersweet ache for a place left behind. May every stay at Laranjal Group awaken it, and make it last.
🤝🏻Our Mission
Our mission walks hand in hand with care and with sustainable tourism. We make conscious decisions, from the smallest detail to the largest: balanced water consumption, solar panel installation, smart home technology to eliminate energy waste. Because caring for the land that inspires us is part of our commitment to our guests, and to the future.
