Hotel Vila Galé Cascais
Cascais
The Vila Gale Cascais hotel has fantastic sea-views and a great location just a short walk from the Marina, the beaches and town centre of Cascais. The hotel has 233 bright spacious rooms, we recommend paying a little extra for the sea-view rooms as these are south facing so give you the afternoon sunshine on your balcony. This four-star hotel has large enclosed gardens with a lovely outdoor swimming pool. There is a pool bar and a restaurant serving traditional Portuguese cuisine. The Vila Gale Cascais is popular with golfers looking for a convenient base close to a varied selection of golf courses and within a short walk of the lively town centre which has a good choice of restaurants, bars, shops and clubs. Estoril and its large Casino are close by and Lisbon is 30 minutes’ drive away. Alternatively, take the scenic coastal train from Cascais into Lisbon to discover the city on foot.

About The Area
Estoril is a brilliant choice for golfers who want a Portugal golf holiday with classic coastal glamour, easy Lisbon access and excellent courses close by. Set on the Lisbon Coast between the capital and Cascais, it combines beach time, restaurants, casino evenings, seafront walks and a polished resort feel, making it ideal for couples, groups and short golf breaks.
The main golfing highlight is Estoril Golf Club, one of Portugal’s oldest and most emblematic clubs. The Estoril Championship Course began in 1929 and was redesigned in 1936 by Mackenzie Ross. It is just 25 minutes from Lisbon and only a few minutes from hotels, restaurants, the casino and Estoril beach, which makes it wonderfully convenient for a golf holiday. The 18-hole, par-69 course measures around 5,200 metres and places more emphasis on accuracy and tactics than sheer power.
Estoril also works well for golfers who want more variety. Penha Longa, Quinta da Marinha and Oitavos Dunes are all within easy reach around Cascais and Sintra, giving you access to parkland, resort and Atlantic-influenced golf within one trip.
Away from the fairways, the wider Cascais area adds beaches, seafood, museums, parks, gardens and year-round events, while Lisbon is close enough for sightseeing, rooftop bars, Fado nights and historic neighbourhoods.
For UK golfers, Estoril is ideal for a tailor-made Portugal golf break, whether you want a relaxed Lisbon Coast escape or a multi-course itinerary. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right hotels, tee times, transfers and extras.
