Destination & Activities

Life at Penha Longa is filled with opportunities to enjoy both the resort’s grounds and the wider region.

Beyond the resort, the palaces of Sintra, the coastal charm of Cascais, and the cultural energy of Lisbon provide endless opportunities for discovery, all within easy reach.

Dining

Dining at Penha Longa is a journey in itself, with seven restaurants and bars offering flavors that span the globe. The resort is home to two Michelin-starred venues: LAB by Sergi Arola, known for its avant-garde, theatrical approach to cuisine, and Midori, which blends Japanese techniques with Portuguese ingredients in a refined setting. Guests can also enjoy casual Mediterranean fare at Penha Longa Mercatto, inventive tapas at Arola, pan-Asian dishes at Spices, seasonal poolside dining at Aqua, and elegant cocktails or afternoon tea at B Lounge. Sustainability plays a role as well, with many herbs and ingredients cultivated on the property itself.
