Portal’s atmosphere is relaxed and free-spirited, with an environment that fosters creativity.
How would you describe Portal Village in a nutshell?
Portal Village is a contemporary eco-village and adults-only retreat that redefines travel objectives. It’s a place to connect with nature, your partner and your inner self within the simplicity of a natural environment.
What is the story behind Portal Village, what was your inspiration to create it?
It was inspired by a need to travel for mastermind meetings, transformational retreats and couple getaways while bringing Romanian hospitality to the next level. I wanted to provide tailor-made experiences and premium facilities to guests while being surrounded by nature. Our main focus is the human need to connect and to feel accepted, celebrated and nurtured.
How would you describe the atmosphere and the interior design of Portal Village?
My main focus was to create the perfect environment for humans to glow and for nature to grow. My team and I designed a premium nest, secluded in the forest and close to the UNESCO-listed village of Sibiel. Portal’s atmosphere is relaxed and free-spirited, with an environment that fosters innovation and creativity. For couples, it offers a cosy and sensual atmosphere.
Our standard bungalows are named SUN and oriented to the east, with a minimalist design and premium facilities. These include five-star mattresses and beautiful walk-in showers.
In front of the bed is a transparent wall, allowing guests to connect to nature, to the sun and the moon, as well as to the starry night sky. It is a unique experience to wake up in the forest with a squirrel greeting you in the morning.
In addition to six SUN bungalows, we have two MOON bungalows, which are designed for guests seeking a larger space but with the same layout and disabled access amenities.
MOON Bungalows are located on edge of the forest which gives them perfect vegetable camouflage, but also refreshing, fragrant shade.
The bungalow is equipped with everything a traveler needs. The storage spaces inserted in the walls have a kettle, glasses, cups, tea collection and other small tasty surprises. Kangen fresh water will cool and hydrate you. The suitcases have their place, under the podium on which the bed is raised, and the hangers are waiting for you to unpack. The classic bedside tables are replaced with elegant niches for your phone and book. Services available range from room service and automated access, to WI-FI and telephony.

SUN bungalows have exposure to the East and South-East, thus benefiting from more solar energy and color.
