MH Peniche  

On Portugal’s Atlantic coast in the heart of Peniche, a beach hotel within easy walking distance of the city center. Close to Praia do Molhe Leste, Gamboa Beach and Peniche Beach, and just a short drive from Museu da Renda de Bilros and the National Museum of Resistance and Freedom.

One of 120 individually decorated guestrooms with private balconies, minibars and flat-screen TVs — many rooms offer pool views. Beds come with down comforters and Egyptian cotton sheets; bathrooms include bathtubs, bidets and complimentary toiletries, and you can wake up to sea-breeze mornings on your balcony.

Dive into indoor and outdoor pools (plus an aquapark), hit the outdoor tennis court, or join the diving club and fitness center. The full spa features a massage room, sauna and steam bath; there’s a poolside bar, two lounges, concierge and tour desk, playrooms for kids and babysitting (surcharge) — a genuinely family-friendly setup — plus free self-parking and airport shuttle (surcharge).

A 24-hour business center and conference hall handle meetings, board sessions and interviews, supported by complimentary wireless internet and onsite concierge services.

La Mar serves Portuguese cuisine with pool views, buffet breakfasts are available daily (fee), and room service runs during limited hours. There’s also a café for coffee and snacks and a poolside bar for cocktails and light bites.
