The heart of a family

Muxima is a family run Bed & Breakfast perfectly nestled in the unspoiled nature of Algarve’s south west coast. Muxima means heart in the indigenous Angolan language Kimbudu and it is from this space of heart that Paula & Jelle guard the land and care for their guests. More than just a rural Bed & Breakfast, Muxima it is a family home, fueled by the great love for nature and community. 

Tucked into the peace of a forest, with untouched beaches and the historic town of Aljezur in short driving distance, Muxima is a perfect rural escape for all ages. A place to slow down, rest after hikes, explore Europe's last virgin beaches, gaze at the stars and enjoy great local food.

The rhythm of the land

From April to June spring fills the air with the smell of wild flowers. The landscape is green and lush, mornings still crisp and the beaches empty.
‍
Between July and October long evenings until sundown mark summer time. The air is hot and the land dry with the sound of crickets tingeling the senses. 
‍
From November to March Muxima is closed for guests. It is the time of the year when the family guards the fire, digests the season, restores and travels.

Architecture & Design

All accommodations at Muxima are part of two restored farmhouses. Inspired by traditional Portuguese architecture, Casa de Eira & Casa do Monte are typical taipa buildings. The walls have been made of a compacted mixture of soil and straw, plastered with natural pigments, which makes every room a unique experience. 

The decoration is a homage to natural materials and local craftsmanship. From handmade ceramic lamps and vases with clay from Algarve’s south coast, to straw chairs and benches, mixed with raw objects from nature and travel souvenirs.
