Penha Longa Resort occupies a grand palazzo-style building within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, set among rolling hills, lush gardens and clear lakes. The 194 rooms and suites — all with balcony or terrace — carry a contemporary feel that contrasts elegantly with the historic surroundings. Cascais, Sintra and Lisbon are each within a short drive, making this one of the most convenient bases on the Lisbon Coast for golfers who want championship golf alongside culture and easy city access.
Two courses sit within the resort: the 18-hole Atlantic Championship Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and host of the Portuguese Open, and the 9-hole Monastery Course. The Atlantic delivers fast greens and well-presented fairways on a layout that suits a broad range of handicaps without losing its championship character. A practice facility and golf academy are on site for those keen to improve during a Lisbon golf holiday.
Eight restaurants include two Michelin-starred dining rooms — Midori and LAB by Sergi Arola — alongside relaxed clubhouse options. An indoor and outdoor pool, Thai-inspired spa, gymnasium and tennis courts ensure there is no shortage of ways to unwind between rounds. Private transfers from Lisbon airport can be arranged to make the journey completely seamless.
