Nazaré, where tradition meets giant waves 🌊

On Portugal’s wild west coast lies Nazaré, a town where the ocean rules with raw power and beauty. Famous worldwide for its record-breaking giant waves, it is also a place rich in tradition, Portuguese culture, and authenticity.

Here, mornings begin with the sound of crashing waves. Fishermen in traditional outfits cross paths with surfers who travel from across the globe to challenge the monster waves at Praia do Norte. In the narrow whitewashed streets, locals keep alive a way of life that is simple, warm, and deeply connected to the sea.


The local vibe 🌞

What makes Nazaré unique is the blend of adrenaline and serenity:

  • In the morning, colorful fishing boats rest on the sand, reminders of the town’s maritime heritage.
  • At lunchtime, fresh grilled fish is served in seaside taverns with sweeping Atlantic views.
  • In the afternoon, thrill-seekers gather by the São Miguel Arcanjo fort, watching surfers ride waves towering over 20 meters high.
  • By evening, the fiery sunset sets the ocean ablaze, offering a spectacle as intense as it is peaceful.

The Nazaré Hammock: strength & authenticity 🌴

This is the atmosphere we wanted to capture with the Nazaré Hammock.
Its terracotta color evokes the city’s iconic tiled rooftops, while its deep, contrasting tones mirror the raw power of the ocean and the giant waves of Praia do Norte. A hammock that embodies the perfect balance between intensity and serenity.

Whether it’s unwinding after an active day or simply soaking in the sun, it invites you to relive the Nazaré experience: a suspended moment facing the immensity of the ocean.

👉 Discover the Nazaré Single or Double-size Hammock and the Nazaré Chair Hammock that will bring a breath of the Atlantic into your everyday life.
