At Nativo, we collaborate with beautiful humans who offer just that — moments of joy, presence, creativity, healing and connection.
Here is a glimpse of some locals whose work we love:
Hélio António
An awarded photographer — @helio_antonio.
Most of our pictures, website and stay photography were taken by him. He’s a super talented ocean and nature photographer. You can buy his work online or follow his journey on Instagram.
We’ve known him forever — we still remember the days Hélio quit his job to fully dedicate himself to photography, long before Nazaré (or Portugal) was “a thing.” It’s amazing to see how he’s thriving today.
Restaurante Grill Landim
This restaurant belongs to chef Sabry Landim — @restaurante.landim.
He opened Grill Landim around the same time we started Nativo — we grew together.
Still today, we believe this is one of the best-kept secrets in the Nazaré and Alcobaça area. A simple restaurant with food cooked over wood fire, full of flavour and passion.
Sabry makes everything from scratch — the bread, butters, pickles, the presentation… what a hard worker! Definitely worth a visit.
Iolanda from Studyo Nazaré
Like me, she travelled the world, as an air hostess, and came back home — because we always knew this is the best place to live.(LOL, but seriously) — @studyonazare
She recently opened Studyo, a vibrant space to move your body: cardio dance, ballet, yoga and even a kids’ playground. Drop in for daily classes while you’re in town!
Oxala
The first café and bar in Nazaré created with the vibe we love — @oxala.nz.
It belongs to our creative friend Neuza Louraço and her partner Oliver. Every weekend, you’ll find DJs or live music here. Their à la carte snack and natural wine menu is also a delight.
Dinamene
A natural healer and registered nurse with deep knowledge in integrative health practices — @dinaturalhealer.
Besides being Nuno’s sister, she’s a grounded and intuitive presence, guiding others toward well-being. We’re currently preparing exclusive wellness packages in collaboration with her. Stay tuned!
In our exclusive digital guide, we not only introduce our friends, but also share hidden gems — local shops that aren’t on Google, quiet spots no one talks about, and places you’d only find through us. Our guests love it — and it keeps growing with every season.
