Golf, Relaxation and the Ocean

The history of the hotel began as early as 1922, when ­Carlos Montez Champalimaud purchased the land of Quinta da Marinha. In 2001, the famous Oitavos Dunes golf course was built on it, under the direction of American architect, Arthur Hills. Carlos' grandson, Miguel Montez Champalimaud, had a hotel built nearby, which welcomed its first guests in 2010.

New Look

Four years ago, The Oitavos hotel underwent a complete exterior and interior renovation, with respect for local materials. Guests may stay in one of 14 bedrooms or 126 lofts in the Superior and Premium categories. Each room has its own balcony facing either East or the sunset. And we confirm that the sunset as seen from the room is amazing. Two apartments and one private villa are also available. Premium services including 24/7 room service and babysitting are a matter of course.

Activity and Stillness

The aforementioned Oitavos Dunes golf course was ranked among the 100 best courses in the world by GOLF magazine and is the first European course to be awarded the Gold Signature Sanctuary award. Other popular local courses are Quinta da Marinha and the famous Penha Longa, 30 minutes away by car. 'In addition to golf, our guests, like me, are sure to enjoy horse riding, surfing, cycling and other sports. I can also ­recommend a trip to the mountain town of Sintra or the ­fishing town of ­Cascais,' Miguel, Director and owner of the hotel, describes his favourite activities. In the local spa, guests can relax after an active day with a massage or skin treatment or in the meditation room. Chef Cyril Delliviers and his team take care of guests' tastebuds in the Ipsylon Restaurant & Bar, and in the ­Terraço and Verbasco restaurants.
