About the Location: Cascais, Lisboa, Portugal

Historically Cascais was a small fishing village located approx. 20 km from Lisbon on the beautiful Atlantic coast. It turned into a favourite spot of European nobility in the early 20th century and today it is an elegant blend of 19th century architecture, traditional Portuguese charm and outstanding tourist facilities.
Cascais is a paradise for those who enjoy outdoor activities, the ones who just seek to relax or those who want to explore the history of the region or delicious Portuguese gastronomy. Beautiful, romantic and historical Sintra is around the corner and Lisbon & its airport are within a quick ride.
Cascais is considered to be one of the best places to sail in the world. Different racing areas are available. Inside the bay the wind can be shifty and the sea tends to be more flat and further South & West winds tend to be more stable with a bigger Atlantic swell.

Come for one reason. Stay for many!
