Activities and Entertainment
Cycling
The Serra da Estrela national park is one of Portugal’s most coveted regions for cyclists, and at the H2otel we are committed to promoting cycling activities for our guests. During your stay, we highly recommend venturing into the great outdoors and enjoying one of the many mountain-bike trails on offer.
Our hotel has world-wide acclaim amongst the cycling community as we were the first hotel in Portugal to be certified as a Bike-Friendly Hotel (Specialised). Our infrastructure and broad palette of services meet the needs of even the most exacting of cyclists, offering the very best conditions for any cycling trip.

Padel
Portuguese paddle ball, or “padel”, is a mixture between tennis and squash, and has been played in our country since 2005.
It is played in two teams of two, and involves using a very light, stringless racket which reduces the impact on the ball. You can try it for yourself at the H2otel/Aquadome complex where two different courts are available (artificial grass or outdoor).
Come and try out this Portuguese sport: a member of our entertainment team would be delighted to join if you don’t have the numbers!
Have fun playing PADEL!
Outdoor activities
During your stay at H2otel, take in the beauty and powerful vastness of the surrounding area, and be sure to take up any opportunity to take part in outdoor activities that will help you feel invigorated and in touch with nature.
In the wide range of walking routes you can take a short walk of just one hour or venture out on full-day Great Routes, through orienteering activities and mountain bike circuits.
And there are plenty more activities available, such as: Jeep tours, Peddy Paper tours, and multi-activity tours (slides, climbing, abseiling, high-ropes and traditional games).
Upon request, we can arrange for informative guides for a range of different activities to help you get around and to accompany you on your trip.
Barefoot circuit
Our barefoot circuit provides a natural reflexology experience along an outdoor route in a space that is just adjacent to the H2otel/Aquadome complex. The ground is formed by different textures and natural materials such as fine sand, coarse sand, rolled stone, pine bark, mud, and more, massaging and stimulating different parts of your feet as you work your way around.
Massage is beneficial for boosting bodily functions and recovering the balance: the soles of our feet are rich in nerve endings which can be stimulated using reflexology, and through their various branches, these nerves extend to the different internal organs, the spine, the brain, the arms and the legs.
Try Barefoot at H2otel (a national exclusive), and be enchanted by the sincere relationship between Man and Nature.
Entertainment with daily programs
H2otel/Aquadome depends on its highly professional teams to meet the entertainment needs of its guests.
Similar to entertainment programmes offered in other countries, the Natura IMB Hotels Group organises activities that give guests the opportunity to participate in some of their free time and have fun, improving the overall guest experience.
