The Lince Santa Clara occupies the restored Santa Clara monastery above the Ave River in Vila do Conde, with its monumental neoclassical façade overlooking the town and Atlantic coast. The 87 rooms and suites place contemporary accommodation within the former religious complex, using pale materials, timber and restrained detailing alongside preserved architectural elements. Two restaurants shape the culinary programme, including Oculto by chef Vítor Matos, while bars and terraces open into the broader property. Aqueduto Wellness & Spa by Sisley and an outdoor infinity pool add substantial leisure spaces, set against cloisters, stone walls and the monastery’s long riverside frontage.
