New from the team behind possibly Europe's most stylish and well-crafted family resort Martinhal Sagres, Martinhal Cascais blends beach and city with a location just 20mins from Lisbon's cosmopolitan centre yet five minutes from the area's stunning sandy beaches.
The 84-room Cascais resort has everything guests find at Sagres from a 700square foot kids club house with dedicated rooms and activities for kids from 6 months to 16 years, to a choice of three family-friendly restaurants including a lounge bar, three pools and a spacious spa with elegant treatment rooms, jacuzzi and steam room. Plus there are two championship golf courses and the sophisticated beach towns, UNESCO heritage town of Sintra, and city center attractions of the Lisbon coast on the doorstep, with great public transport links.
Design-savvy parents will love the contemporary architecture and light filled interiors of the villas, all of which are furnished with Martinhal's signature family-friendly but boutique hotel standard pieces. A keen eye is kept on family-friendly touches with stairgates, baby baths, cots, cupboard locks, highchairs etc. on request and blackout-lined window dressings in bedrooms. The full kitchens are more than adequate for knocking up snacks and kids suppers with a mini mercado a few minutes drive away offering most family favourites from cereal, pasta, fresh pastries and bread to nappies, wipes, formula and purees. Breakfasts are included and upgrades to half-board vouchers that can be exchanged for lunches or 3-course dinners at any of the three onsite restaurants are good value. All three restaurants are family-friendly with a genius set up that includes supervised play corners at each which allow parents the rare luxury of being able to reconnect over a relaxing meal, proper conversation and even a post meal drink! The 'O Gambozinos' Italian Trattoria tends to be most popular with young families, but the more sophisticated 'O Terraco' is also popular with a great kids menu and the M Bar within the kids club house area is a great place for casual dining anytime of day.
When not enjoying the three pools, one of which is heated year round,there's plenty to do nearby with pre-bookable activities ranging from surfing, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing, to kyaking, fishing, golf and tennis. There are also sightseeing tours of Lisbon and Sintra, including a evening Libo tour with dinner and Fado music. That's not forgetting exploring the beaches,within a short drive or 15 minute walk, and onsite spa, which offers good value parent and child treatments, although the beautifully designed and well run kids club generally ensures spa time is 'me-time' for most parents!
A low-cost shuttle between the hotel, beach and Cascais centre operates around 4 times a day but, with the pools, kids HQ and play areas for kids of all ages, including a cool zip wire, it'll be tough to drag little ones away!
Accommodation Overview - Connecting Family Rooms (80m2 max. capacity 2 adults 2 children and a baby):
The 72 spacious hotel rooms are set within the main building at Martinhal Cascais.Interconnecting Deluxe Doubles consist of two connected Deluxe double rooms suitable for up three adults, a child and a baby. The stylish interiors are flooded with natural light (blackout curtains provided) from huge patio doors, which lead onto large furnished balconies overlook the either the water features, pool, lanscaped gardens or golf courses. The serenity of the exterior is echoed in the interior scheme which blends soulful wood with white and pastel green fixtures and fittings. Each room has a sspacious, luxury ensuite with walk in showers and baths. They each have a desk and seating area.
The stylish accommodation, great dining, pools, spa, kids HQ and play areas for all ages can make it very tough to leave the hotel but with beaches only 10-20mins walk and a low-cost shuttle into Cascais (45mins wallk) four times a day, it would be shame to miss out. Cascais itself has a great selection of shops and restaurants plus pretty marina but its also a great base from which to explore the UNESCO hertiage town of Sintra, the popular coastal resort of Estoril and the cosmpolitan city of Lisbon, all of which are within about 20-30mins drive.
Lisbon is a fantastically family-friendly city with great shopping and dining but it is hilly and the old quarter (Barrio Alto) largely cobbled, so a baby carrier is generally preferable to a stroller for really little ones. Older toddlers will love the chance to ride an old fashioned tram through the streets (number 28 is most scenic route), visit the fantastic aquarium, try a land/water combo sightseeing tour on the Hippotrip, an aerial view from the cable car at the Parque Nacoes or the Lisbon Zoo, which is also home to White Tgers, Mountain Gorillas, Dolphins and Sea Lions. Don't miss the chance to sample the legendary custard tarts direct from the historic bakery in Belem near the Museum of Contemporary Art - they are apparrently the best in the world!
Getting There: Martinhal Cascais is 45mins drive from the airport at Lisbon. Private transfers with baby/child seats can be pre-booked via Baby Friendly Boltholes.
