Aveiro has always been linked to maritime trade, fishing and salt production. The city is often called the "Portuguese Venice” due to all the canals that flow through the beautiful city centre, which is also home to the old neighbourhood of Beira Mar and its traditional houses and salt warehouses.

“Fui au Melia Hotel para uma mini despedida de solteiro com umas amigas e reservamos o spa / massagem e foi incrível ! O espaço é super acolhedor e sentimo-nos muito bem assim que entramos no local, tivemos uma massagem de 1h em duo com chá e uma bolacha no fim antes de ir para o percurso da piscina. Os espaços são super bem cuidados e é bem cosy o que torna a experiência ainda melhor. Recomendo para todos aqueles que querem usufruir do spa do hotel sem estarem hospedados, a equipa foi super acolhedora. ⭐️”See more reviews
