intimate ranch weddings by the sea
the gathering
Picture your favourite people gathered for a slow, unhurried week on our private ranch on the coast of Portugal.
Long antique tables under the orchard trees, covered in candles and wildflowers. A chef cooking over an open fire, course after course, passed around family-style. Natural wine from small producers we love, and Champagne as the sun drops into the ocean cliffs in the distance.
As night falls and the stars come out, everyone gathers around a crackling fire beneath the stars, cocktail in hand, conversations lingering long after dessert.
Every celebration here is intimate by design: relaxed, deeply personal and quietly elevated, so you can be fully present with the people who matter most.
the experience
Every wedding here is a full week in Portugal.
Five nights on the ranch to settle in, explore the coastline and soak up time with your people before and after the big day.
Outside of the wedding itself, the days are yours. If your guests want to get out and explore, we're happy to book experiences for them, from wine tastings and horseback rides on the beach to surf lessons and mountain biking.
All you have to do is show up, slow down and enjoy it.
the property
Blanco Bungalow was born from a simple idea: to create a relaxed ranch retreat where thoughtful design, exceptional hospitality, wellness, nature, and authenticity come together in a way that feels effortless.
Nestled in a tiny seaside village just north of Ericeira, Blanco Bungalow is a private ranch retreat designed for relaxation and reconnection. Surrounded by rolling hills and endless nature, the property feels like a hidden oasis where guests can step away from the noise of everyday life and settle into a more intentional pace.
Begin your morning with yoga or sound healing by the pool, followed by a sauna and cold plunge. Spend the afternoon surfing, horseback riding, or simply relaxing by the saltwater pool with a glass of natural wine in hand. Wander down to the cliffs to watch the sun set over the ocean before gathering around the table for a beautiful meal shared with family and friends.
At the heart of Blanco Bungalow is a love for wellness, good wine, meaningful connection, and life outdoors. From our horses and ponies to our curated collection of organic and biodynamic wines, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create an experience that feels both elevated and deeply personal.

the location
Blanco Bungalow is located just 40 minutes from Lisbon and 15 minutes north of Ericeira, in the heart of Portugal's World Surfing Reserve.
Nestled within a protected coastal nature preserve, in a tiny seaside fishing village, our seaside ranch is surrounded by rolling hills, ocean trails, and unspoiled countryside, all within walking distance of the sea. Here, guests can spend their days exploring rugged coastal paths, discovering hidden beaches, and experiencing the slower pace of life that makes this corner of Portugal so special.
Perfectly positioned for exploration, Blanco Bungalow is less than an hour from some of Portugal's most iconic destinations, including Nazaré, Sintra, and Óbidos, allowing guests to turn their celebration into a memorable holiday with family and friends.

The fine print
Guests. We host celebrations of up to 50 guests. Up to 14 of you can stay on the ranch, and we're happy to point everyone else to great places to stay nearby.
Stay. Every wedding is a full week in Portugal, with a five-night minimum so there's time to arrive, settle in and actually enjoy it. We're booking 2027 dates now.
Food and wine. Every wedding comes with our chef's dinner over the fire and a natural wine pairing. Cocktails, breakfasts and a wedding cake can all be added on.
Music. We're tucked into a small, quiet village, so evenings here are more long dinner than all-night dance party. Music is always welcome, whether that's a friend with a guitar, a live acoustic set or a DJ keeping it mellow. It wraps up at midnight, and the night carries on around the fire.
Vendors and concierge. We work with a small group of local Portuguese vendors we know and trust, and we'll help you put the whole thing together from start to finish.
We host only a few select weddings each year.
