The Best Hotels in Nazare

Nazaré is a fishing town with a huge sandy beach, a clifftop village above, and in winter the biggest waves in the world. Staying overnight lets you enjoy it after the day-trippers leave, and catch sunset over the Atlantic. Here are the best hotels in Nazaré.

Quick answer: for a heated rooftop pool with sea views, Hotel Praia. For the beachfront on the main square, Hotel Mar Bravo. For a good-value base near the sand, Hotel Maré. For a pool and spa above town, Miramar Hotel Spa & Apartments. Book a sea-view room if you can.
