Fortaleza Do Guincho

Perched on a cliff on Portugal’s wild Guincho coast, this 5-star boutique hotel stares straight at the Atlantic. It’s about 7 km from Cascais and 30 km from Lisbon and the international airport. Explore nearby Sintra’s UNESCO palaces, long coastal beaches, watersports, world-class golf and a large local casino.

Historic fortress bones meet refined, coastal décor — think cloistered courtyards and a small fortress window framing lateral beach views. There are 27 rooms: 8 Courtyard (cozy, beach-window views), 16 Superior (closed balconies with chaise longues and sea vistas) and 3 Junior Suites (front-line views toward the ocean and Cabo da Roca). Rooms include TV, minibar, phone, hairdryer, safe and free Wi‑Fi.

Dine at the hotel’s Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant or grab a light meal and sunset drink on the bar terrace with sunbeds. Wellness and tranquility are front and center with special agreements at a local spa and nearby golf courses, plus bicycle use (subject to availability). Services include private parking, 24-hour room service, babysitting by appointment, airport transfers, laundry and currency exchange — and yes, wake up to sea-breeze mornings.

The hotel offers meeting rooms and business services, with free Wi‑Fi throughout to keep you connected.

A Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience with sweeping ocean views. The bar and terrace serve lighter plates and cocktails — perfect for sunset watching and casual coastal bites.
