Hidden amongst the ancient forests of the southern Sintra mountains, sits the regal Penha Longa Hotel & Golf Resort. This vast estate traces its origins back to the 14th century when the monastery, which forms an integral part of the resort today, came into being. Since that time Penha Longa has been an exclusive retreat for Portuguese royalty and foreign luminaries, similarly modern-day guests can expect service levels befitting a King or Queen. The charm and grace of the imposing lobby entrance is replicated in each of the 194 guest rooms. Positioned to take full advantage of their natural setting, each room features a private balcony assuring guests of a breathtaking view across the lush gardens and rolling hills. Large marble bathrooms, flat screen plasma television, CD player and Internet access ensure that guests can relax equally well in-room as within the atmospheric hotel grounds.
Dining at Penha Longa is a culinary experience to be savoured. Discover the finest in Japanese cuisine at Midori or perhaps local specialities at assaMassa. The Hole in One bar affords spectacular views of the Nature Reserve whilst the RC bar provides the most serene environment in which to savour a fine whisky or Portuguese wine by the roaring fire.
Both the beginner and the seasoned golfer can expect a challenge at Penha Longa. The 9 hole Monastery Course weaves its way around the heart of the estate, with rousing scenery proving a distraction at every hole. Host to the Portuguese Open and ranked in the top 30 courses in Continental Europe, The Atlantic Course is inspirational golf at its best. For those who prefer the racquet to the club, the resort’s tennis and squash courts are located on-site to oblige.

The Kids’ Club (seasonal, age 5-12 years) takes full advantage of the resort’s natural setting. Seasonal activities including sports, arts and crafts, allow younger guests to expend energy in a supervised, healthy setting. Within easy driving distance from historic Lisbon, charming Cascais and romantic Sintra, Penha Longha is the perfect base from which to explore one of Portugal’s most enchanting and historically diverse regions. Please note the golf clubhouse will be undergoing renovation until approximately May 2008, clubhouse facilities will be available in an alternative part of the resort.
