Surfing with Tiago Pires in Portugal | Marriott Bonvoy Moments

Marriott Bonvoy Moments invited members to an unforgettable surf-inspired escape in Ericeira, Portugal, the surfing capital of Europe. Hosted at Immerso Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels™, this 37-room boutique retreat is deeply connected to the rhythms of nature and local surf culture. Members began the experience with a private, hands-on surfboard shaping workshop at Semente Surfboards, led by owner and local legend Nick Uricchio. In the afternoon, they caught waves with Tiago Pires, Portugal’s first pro surfer on the world tour, and Gonçalo Menezes, a passionate local surfer and the "Original" of Immerso Hotel. In the Design Hotels™ community, Originals are the visionary hoteliers behind each one-of-a-kind property. As evening fell, Members gathered at EMME, the hotel’s signature restaurant, for an intimate dinner alongside Tiago, Gonçalo, and Nick. Set against the backdrop of coastal serenity and contemporary design, the evening unfolded in spirited conversation and shared storytelling — a celebration of surf culture, craftsmanship, and the creative spirit that unites them all.
