Some information about Cascais
Cascais is situated on the west coast of Portugal, where
the River Tagus runs into the Atlantic Ocean. It is around 26km
(17 miles) west of Lisbon and 34km (23 miles) from Lisbon
Airport.
Visiting Cascais it is hard to believe that this vibrant
resort was once a humble fishing village. Its inexorable rise up
the tourism ladder began toward the end of the 19th century
when Portuguese nobles constructed their grand holiday
mansions here. Today, a trio of sandy beaches, energetic
nightlife and Cascais' close proximity to some of Portugal's
most prestigious golf courses, as well as its easy access to the
country's capital ensure the resort's popularity. Cascais also impresses holiday makers
with its marina, 16th-century fortress and an attractive old town. First-rate seafood
restaurants that rival those in Lisbon, exclusive hotels, the Castro Guimaraes Museum
(housed in a spectacular 19th-century mansion) and the exhibitions at the Cascais
Cultural Centre mean that the resort has something to offer everyone whatever the
season.
Hotel Baia
Hotel Baía has a privileged sea-front location, facing the Cascais Bay and
offering a fabulous view of the ocean.
It is situated beach front in the centre of Cascais and has 113 fully equipped
rooms. Most of the rooms have a private balcony overlooking the sea and the
remainder have a view over the Town of Cascais and the mountains of Sintra.
On the top floor you will find a covered, heated swimming pool with a snack
bar where you can enjoy a drink while admiring the view of the bay as far as Lisbon,
so don’t forget your swimming suit!
