ABOUT LUENA FOUNDATION
All proceeds after costs from your booking will be donated to Luena Foundation, an independent, non-political, 501c3 non-profit that focuses on defending and ensuring the rights of the child worldwide, with a focus on the Global South. We partner with innovative, off-the-radar, community-based organizations whose grassroots efforts aim at stamping out the underlying causes of child poverty at its roots. To do this, we are pursuing a model of "local humanitarianism", which aligns with our belief that the people most affected by poverty and social injustice are the ones who should have both the power and resources to lead the decision-making processes that impact their communities. We seek out, listen to, and fund local leaders, many of whom are youth themselves, who possess the indigenous knowledge and local capacity to elicit sustainable development from the inside out. To date, we have partnered with dozens of community-based organizations and funded 36 projects in 12 different countries. By choosing to stay with us, you are helping to continue a #LegacyOfLove.

Aljezur is located on the west coast of the Algarve in the heart of the natural park Costa Vicentina. An impressive beauty retains unforgettable landscapes between the mountain range and the sea. The coastline is formed uniquely by nature.
The sound of the waves creates a natural symphony, which serves as background music for long hikes or just a short walk on the seashore. Large sandy beaches and coves, divided by magnificent, rugged cliffs, with the consistent waves of the Atlantic Ocean, offer unique surfing conditions throughout the year.
Aljezur is enchanted with its charm and harmony of culture and nature. The region has countless culinary delights of high quality to offer. The sea provides fish and seafood, and the ground carries sweet potatoes and peanuts as delicacies count Medronho, a traditional fruit brandy, honey and other sweets. These are treats for culinary art and one of the many reasons to visit the region of Aljezur.
