elopements, micro-weddings & intimate ranch weddings

the gathering

AT BLANCO BUNGALOW, WE DO WEDDINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

WE ARE NOT A TRADITIONAL WEDDING VENUE. YOU WON'T FIND LATE-NIGHT DJS, DANCE PARTIES, DISCO BALLS, OR HIGHLY SCRIPTED WEDDING PROGRAMS HERE. INSTEAD, WE CREATE INTIMATE, INTENTIONAL CELEBRATIONS CENTERED AROUND MEANINGFUL CONNECTION, EXCEPTIONAL FOOD AND WINE, AND TIME SPENT WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE MOST.

PICTURE FAMILY-STYLE FARM-TO-TABLE DINNERS PREPARED BY PRIVATE CHEFS AND SERVED AROUND AN EXTRA-LONG RUSTIC TABLE. WILD SEASONAL FLORALS, BIODYNAMIC WINE PAIRINGS, CANDLELIGHT, AND CONVERSATIONS THAT LINGER LONG AFTER DESSERT HAS BEEN SERVED.

AS EVENING FALLS, GUESTS GATHER AROUND A CRACKLING FIRE BENEATH THE STARS, CRAFT COCKTAILS IN HAND, SHARING STORIES AND MAKING MEMORIES WITH THEIR CLOSEST FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

OUR CELEBRATIONS ARE RELAXED, ELEVATED, AND THOUGHTFULLY CURATED. IF YOU'RE SEEKING A ROMANTIC AND DEEPLY PERSONAL GATHERING, RATHER THAN A TRADITIONAL WEDDING RECEPTION, BLANCO BUNGALOW MAY BE EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

the experience

WHILE MANY COUPLES CHOOSE TO CELEBRATE OVER A LONG WEEKEND, WE ENCOURAGE GUESTS TO EXTEND THEIR STAY AND EXPERIENCE THE REGION MORE FULLY. THE MOST MEMORABLE CELEBRATIONS OFTEN UNFOLD OVER THE COURSE OF A WEEK, ALLOWING TIME TO SETTLE IN, EXPLORE THE COASTLINE, ENJOY CURATED EXPERIENCES, AND CREATE MEANINGFUL MOMENTS WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS BEFORE AND AFTER THE WEDDING DAY ITSELF.

WHEN YOU CELEBRATE AT BLANCO BUNGALOW, YOU'RE NOT SIMPLY RENTING A VENUE. YOU'RE BEING WELCOMED INTO OUR HOME AND INVITED TO EXPERIENCE A WAY OF LIFE THAT WE'VE CAREFULLY BUILT AND FALLEN IN LOVE WITH OURSELVES.

THE RESULT IS A WEDDING EXPERIENCE THAT FEELS INTIMATE, MEANINGFUL, AND ENTIRELY UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'LL FIND IN PORTUGAL.

the property

BLANCO BUNGALOW WAS BORN FROM A SIMPLE IDEA: TO CREATE A RELAXED FARM 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 FARM RETREAT DESIGNED FOR REST 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 ATLANTIC 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.
