THE REGION
Set on a curving turquoise bay just 40 km south of Lisbon, Sesimbra is both an attractive fishing town and a popular tourist resort within easy reach of the capital. Sesimbra is one of the finest beach resorts in Portugal. It is adored by the Portuguese who flock to the region for their holidays, drawn by the pristine beached, relaxed atmosphere and outstanding seafood restaurants.
Near Sesimbra, there are the beaches of the Arrábida Natural Park, which are considered among the most beautiful beaches in Portugal. The most famous one is Praia do Figueirinha, a long sandy shore kissed by calm and crystalline waters.
The outstanding beaches and tourist attractions make Sesimbra an enjoyable family holiday. Around the region, there is much to visit, like Cabo Espichel headland or a scenic drive through the Arrabida hills and a visit to the paradise beaches of the Portinho de Arrabida.
ABOUT THE LISBON COAST
The Lisbon Coast is a sensational stretch of golden beaches, wave-lashed cliffs and vibrant seaside towns – but there's more to the Atlantic coastline than that. Delve beneath the surface to discover hidden coves, family-owned seafood restaurants and pristine natural parks.
The coast around Lisbon provides an easy, breezy escape from the capital, whose proximity has made it the stomping ground of kings for the last 1,000 years. In summer, Lisboistas stream into elegant Comporta and Cascais to escape the heat of the city; year-round, surfers hang loose on the coast, waiting for the rollers to crash down on the sand.
But while you're enjoying one of our fantastic villas on Lisbon Coast, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we've put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!

The location is excellent, in the countryside and close to fabulous beaches. Meco, Lagoa de Albufeira, Bicas Beach, Praia da California, Praia dos Galapinhos, Portinho de Arrbida and Praia do Creiro are excellent beaches in the area. Some offer watersports including windsurfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkelling and diving.
At Sesimbra, you can hike up to the Castelo de Sesimbra and enjoy the wonderful panoramic views of the town. Thrill-seekers can also book a Coasteering Vertente Natural tour where guests progress along the coastline scrambling, swimming, climbing, rappelling, ziplining and cliff jumping into the water. You can also join a dolphin watching boat tour, searching for bottlenose dolphins which live in the Sado Estuary.
The Badoca Safari Park is located in Vila Nova de Santo Andre. It offers an unforgettable experience with a safari, meeting giraffes, interaction with lemurs and a falconry experience. You can walk through the African forest and enjoy the spectacle of colours of the African birds. There is also a family water rafting adventure. It is a great day out and makes a change from the beach.
Of course, children will love a visit to the buzzy, picturesque city of Lisbon. The excellent zoo boasts dolphin and sea lion shows, reptile and snake houses, aviaries and a cute petting farm. Animax is an adventure park next door. Lisbon’s Oceanarium boasts a huge collection of marine species including penguins, sea otters, sharks, rays, chimaeras, sea horses, starfish, sea urchins, octopuses and jellyfish.

We were very pleased
We were very happy. Big house, quiet, nice pool, etc... Close to beautiful beaches so very good stay for us.
-
Fantastic Pool
Very spacious house, old but remodeled. The outside space is also quite spacious and a magnificent pool, large and with a good depth. The room could have some interior blinds on the side windows, it was very hot the week we spent there and at lunch time it was very hot in the living room. Overall it was a great week.
-
Always gladly again!
Everything no longer quite dewy but completely sufficient and according to our expectations.
-
Quiet to the sound of birds
Quiet and reserved environment, shaded by cork trees and the sound of birds singing all day. Barbecue grill works very well. Well maintained pool.
-
Very happy overall
A lot of room in the property, we found the stairs to be a bit dangerous especially with small children but were able to "fix" the problem by moving furniture around. Equipment and amenities are nice, swimming pool is clean and big, barbecue works great. At the time of our rental the sunshade near the pool were a little bit worn and it would be nice to see new ones, other than that we really much enjoyed the stay, as others have mentioned you do hear dogs barking at night in the distance, not really a problem for us. even sleeping with open windows.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
