Farol Hotel takes a 19th-century cliffside mansion next to the Santa Marta lighthouse and wraps it in glass and contemporary design: rooms styled by fashion designers, monochrome suites in the modern wing, and the Atlantic breaking directly below the terraces.
The saltwater pool sits on the rocks above the sea, the bar runs the best sunset in town, and the restaurants pair seafood with the view. The seafront walk passes the door — citadel and marina one way, Casa das Histórias and Boca do Inferno the other — with the old town ten minutes away.
It is the choice for travellers who want Cascais's coast at its most dramatic without leaving town.

Frequently asked questions
Is the hotel on the beach?
It sits on the rocks above the sea rather than a sandy beach; Praia da Rainha and the bay beaches are a short walk away.
What is the pool like?
A saltwater pool set on the rocks directly above the Atlantic — one of the most photographed in the region.
