SHAMWARI: from the Shona tribe language of Africa meaning FRIEND.
Shamwari Hilltop Retreat was created uniquely and in harmony with nature.
Shamwari Hilltop Retreat is situated near Monte Vascao, just 7km from Alcoutim and 4km from the IC27, with tarred road access to the entrance. Shamwari Hilltop Retreat is a Tourism Portugal project and a fully licensed establishment, set on 15 acres of rural country-side and nothing but rolling hills for as far as the eye can see.
