Soltroia

Soltroia is a beach resort complex in Carvalhal spread across residential areas, dining venues, and accommodations on the Troia Peninsula. The property blends developed spaces with natural woodland that slopes toward the sandy coastline.

The complex began development in the late 20th century as a tourism expansion initiative for the Alentejo region. Its creation marked efforts to bring modern resort infrastructure to this part of the Portuguese coast.

Dining venues in this complex feature traditional Portuguese seafood prepared with daily catches from regional fishing boats. The menus reflect how deeply the local community connects to the ocean.

The resort is accessible by car from Lisbon airport in roughly 90 minutes or by ferry from Setúbal with connecting transport. The layout works well for exploring on foot, as accommodations and dining areas are within easy walking distance.

The property maintains native pine forests within its grounds that serve as wildlife corridors for local species. This balance between nature and development is uncommon for coastal resorts in this region.
