A beautiful, secluded retreat hidden in the countryside just outside of Lisbon, the Penha Longa Resort provides visitors with a world-class service and a unique experience that’s bound to make anyone feel like royalty.
The outrageous palazzo-style estate was built around a historic 14th century monastery and for many years it was actually a retreat for the royal family of Portugal. Nowadays, anyone could get the royal treatment from the Penha Longa Resort, with serene views over the emerald fairways of the on-site golf courses designed by legendary Robert Trent Jones Jr.
And if standing inside and enjoying those serene views from your spacious and wonderfully decorated room, feel free to explore Sintra, a World Heritage Site that’s home to treasures such as Pena National Palace and Castelo dos Mouros.
Once the sun sets and you get ready for the evening, this lavish hotel shows off all its luxurious amenities for you. Healing therapies at Penha Longa Spa & Wellness will make your problems and worries melt away while the dining experience may be savored at one of six restaurants. What will you have?
Delectable sushi at Midori, traditional Portuguese cuisine at the Aqua Restaurant and Pool Bar, Spanish tapas in the modern atmosphere of Arola or Gourmet Hamburgers and a glass of gin at B Lounge and LAB by Sergi Arola? Well, luckily, there’s plenty of time to decide until you pack your bags to Portugal; if not, it’s even more interesting to experience them one at a time.
