ostraveiro
Ria de Aveiro · Portugal
An island. Three unique experiences.
Accessible exclusively by boat — restaurant, floating accommodation and events at the heart of the lagoon.
Our boat takes you to the island
Indoor restaurant and terrace
Houseboats on the water
Where water and land meet
The oysters are from Aveiro. The products are local. And you can taste our selection of Portuguese wines on a terrace above the water — or inside, facing the Ria.
Ostraveiro is an island, a restaurant, houseboats and a place to live on the lagoon.

Oysters farmed in the Ria de Aveiro. Products chosen with the seasons. And a terrace where the only sound is the water beneath your feet.

Sleeping on the Ria
At night, silence takes over. In the morning, it is the light on the water that wakes you. Four houseboats, each with its own private terrace and view over the lagoon.

The journey is part of the experience
Ostraveiro is located on an island in the Ria de Aveiro, accessible exclusively by boat. The crossing takes just 2 minutes, and changes everything.

Canal Principal, facing the old fish market — 3800-155 Aveiro. Free parking nearby.

03
Arrive on the island
Welcome to Ostraveiro. The island, the Ria and time standing still.
Aquaculture · Local products
From the Ria to your plate
Ostraveiro grows its own oysters in the waters of the Ria. And when production falls short, it is the neighbouring producers — also from Aveiro — who fill the gap.
Here, everything comes from the Ria or the surrounding land.
