Estoril

If you have found yourself in beautiful Portugal, chances are you’re looking for a place to get away and relax for awhile.

Located just 9 miles from Lisbon, Estoril is a popular resort town on the water where you can enjoy a very sophisticated variation of foods, modern amenities, and of course, the beach. During the day you could be in or on the water, fishing, windsurfing, diving, or water-skiing--or if you fancy--shooting 18-holes at one of the Estoril Coast’s 7 courses, including sought after Atlantico. By night, you may decide to roll the dice at Esotril’s famous Casino Estoril.

If you’re looking for something a little more tame, there are also a load of cultural sites to visit, including the exotic yet beautiful Pena Palace and Park, or go check out the Iberian Wolf Sanctuary, where you can observe or even adopt one of these majestic creatures.

Practical Info

As a major resort town that is very close to the country’s capital, it is often packed full of people, and so there are a vast amount of places one could choose to stay, including inns, hotel-apartments, and 5-star hotels.
