Montado Hotel & Golf Resort

On Portugal’s Costa Azul in Palmela, about 30 minutes south of Lisbon and close to Palmela Castle. Minutes from Setúbal and a short drive to the beaches of Troia and Arrábida, the Montado Hotel & Golf Resort sits amid vineyards, cork trees and lakes.

Designed by Tomás Taveira, the resort has 93 air‑conditioned rooms with balconies or terraces and golf-course views. Rooms come with minibars, tea/coffee facilities, satellite TV and private bathrooms; all rooms are non-smoking. The setting blends modern design with the region’s vineyard charm.

Play the resort’s 18‑hole golf course (charges apply), swim in a heated outdoor pool or the indoor pool, and unwind in the spa and massage rooms. There’s a fitness center, table tennis, mini golf (for a fee), free parking and free Wi‑Fi throughout. Wake up to vineyard-and-cork-tree mornings and stroll the gardens.

Conference facilities and a business center handle meetings and board sessions. The 24‑hour front desk offers tour and transfer assistance, luggage storage and multilingual staff, with free Wi‑Fi across the property.

There’s an on-site restaurant, bar and café, plus room service and a breakfast buffet. Expect regional touches like Azeitão pastries, Muscat wines and local cheeses alongside international choices.
