Nestled in the heart of Quinta da Marinha, the most exclusive area of the village of Cascais, Sheraton Cascais Resort is the luxury answer for those looking to enjoy the best of what Europe’s West Coast has to offer.
The laid-back feel of this picturesque town is perfect for families seeking a chic, leisurely destination to unwind by the sea, without giving up all the comfort of a high-end retreat. Horse-riding by the beach, world-class surfing locations, some of Europe’s best golf courses and luxury yachts blend in perfectly with quaint picnics perched atop the cliffs of Cabo da Roca – Europe’s westernmost point – with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, accompanied by a great bottle of Portuguese wine.
Set just two kilometers away from world-renowned Guincho Beach, and five kilometers from the centre of Cascais and the Marina, its comprehensive access and transport network also means that Lisbon International Airport and the Portuguese capital are just 30 km away – a perfect location to enjoy the old-world charm of Lisbon as well as the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Sintra.
The Cascais coast was the first place to be seen by ships approaching the Tagus Estuary, and was the last image seafarers took with them when they headed for the far-flung corners of the Portuguese Empire. Its population witnessed the departure of the earliest explorers and saw them return with treasures from Africa, spices from India and gold from Brazil.
In more recent times, the region became a pioneer of Portuguese tourism when in 1870 the royal family chose Cascais, as its summer residence due to its excellent location close to Lisbon, natural surroundings, temperate climate and high quality of the local waters. ______________ GPS Latitude: 38º42’30.36”N – Longitude: 9º27’36.06”W
