Located about 75 minutes north of Lisbon, the Silver Coast is unspoilt and relatively quiet. And with five golf courses, several quality-hotels and a deserved reputation for value, the region has attracted a growing number of fans.
The Marriott Praia d’El Rey is the largest of the resorts on the Silver Coast. One of its biggest advantages is the variety of accommodation types that cater to different needs while maintaining a high standard throughout. There’s a strong emphasis on comfort and privacy whether you’re travelling as a couple, family, or group of friends. And when you want to more noise and people around you, head to the resort’s bars and restaurants.
Hotel Accommodation
Quite generous in size and typically five-star Marriott quality, many of the 177 bedrooms have private balconies or terraces with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean or fairways.
For families or larger groups, the private townhouses and villas are an excellent choice. These multi-bedroom accommodations come with fully equipped kitchens and living areas, ideal for longer stays or if you prefer the flexibility of preparing your own meals. Located either closer to the beach or the golf course, these residences provide a blend of resort comfort with the comforts of home. The resort also has a full-service spa, there’s also a fitness centre and indoor pool, plus tennis courts if you fancy a different kind of workout.
Dining & Bars
Temperica: This is the resort’s signature restaurant/. Expect Portuguese cuisine at its finest, with a modern twist on traditional dishes. Seafood lovers will be especially impressed, with fresh catches from the Atlantic served alongside regional wines.
Clubhouse: After a round of golf, I always recommend the Clubhouse. With its laid-back atmosphere and spectacular views of the course, it’s ideal for lunch or a casual evening meal. The menu features everything from fresh salads to hearty burgers, perfect for unwinding after a day on the links.
Contemporary Bar & Lounge: If you’re looking for a relaxed space to enjoy a drink or light bite, this is the place. I find it’s perfect for a pre-dinner cocktail or winding down after a day exploring the Silver Coast.
