Kimpton Unveils Quinta da Marinha, Bringing Laid Back Luxury Lifestyle to Portugal’s Atlantic Coast

Surrounded by the natural beauty of Portugal’s Atlantic coastline, Kimpton Quinta da Marinha, the newest addition to IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, is now open in Cascais. Located between the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and the Atlantic Ocean, the 194-room resort introduces Kimpton’s distinctive boutique luxury to one of Europe’s most desirable coastal destinations. Just minutes from the charming centre of Cascais and within easy reach of Lisbon, the property brings Kimpton’s playful approach to luxury and life through striking design and sociable spaces combined with nature, wellness, and active living in a setting that feels both energising and restorative.

Kimpton’s bold approach to hospitality has redefined luxury lifestyle travel around the world, and Kimpton Quinta da Marinha continues that legacy with a resort experience deeply connected to its surroundings. The hotel reflects the colours, textures, and spirit of the neighbouring Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. Organic materials, warm neutral tones and Portuguese craftsmanship create interiors in guestrooms, shared spaces, and restaurants that feel both elevated and inviting. Depending on the room, travellers will find stunning panoramic views of lush forests, the resort’s 18-hole golf course, or the Atlantic coastline, providing a constant connection to nature.

The hotel’s 180 guest rooms, plus 8 suites and 6 signature suites, embrace the relaxed sophistication of Portugal’s western coast, balancing contemporary comfort with a strong sense of place. Bathed in natural light, interiors feature mid-century influences, layered textures, and botanical accents inspired by the surrounding landscape. The result is an atmosphere that encourages guests to slow down, reconnect, and embrace the rhythms of coastal living. This message of tranquility travels beyond the rooms, with the breathtakingly designed Natur Spa, which offers holistic rituals and restorative therapies designed to relax, rebalance, and renew, along with the spa which features a jacuzzi, sauna, and seven treatment rooms.

Vicki Poulos, Vice President, Luxury & Lifestyle Brands, said: “The opening of Kimpton Quinta da Marinha marks an exciting new chapter for Kimpton in Portugal, bringing our distinctive style of laid-back luxury to one of Europe’s most captivating coasts. Rooted in natural beauty and the culture of Cascais, this resort has been thoughtfully designed to spark meaningful connections, inviting guests to slow down, discover something unexpected and experience the destination in a way that feels deeply personal. From its vibrant social spaces and locally-inspired dining, to its seamless immersion into the surrounding landscapes, Kimpton Quinta da Marinha beautifully reflects the brand’s playful spirit and human-centred approach to hospitality.”

Food and drink have always been a cornerstone of Kimpton and the resort’s restaurant and bars are destinations in their own right, bringing together local ingredients and contemporary Portuguese flavours across a collection of distinctive spaces. From relaxed social moments at FICA! over specialty cocktails and wines, to elevated dining experiences at Ao Ponto, where the grill takes centre stage, guests can experience elevated Portuguese cuisine with premium meats, local seafood and seasonal delicacies depending on their unique cravings. Those looking for a more casual daytime experience can enjoy drinks at the outdoor pool bar, perfect for sipping between swims. Across the hotel, guests will discover spaces designed for connection, conversation, and memorable culinary curations.

Paulo Jorge Costa das Neves Figueiredo, General Manager of Kimpton Quinta da Marinha, said: “Kimpton Quinta da Marinha offers a new way to experience Cascais. Whether guests come here to play golf, unwind at the spa, discover the cuisine or simply relax in nature, we want every stay to feel personal, inspiring, and deeply connected to this destination. Kimpton’s signature warmth and individuality in every aspect of our work, from check-in to check-out, combined with the heritage of Quinta da Marinha, create an experience unlike any other in the region.”

Rooted in Kimpton’s long-standing commitment to culture and community, the hotel invites guests to explore the very best of Cascais and the surrounding region. From surfing the Atlantic waves of Guincho Beach and hiking the trails of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park to discovering local galleries, markets, and vineyards, the destination offers a blend of adventure and relaxation. At the hotel itself, guests can enjoy a championship 18-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis and padel courts, and a range of curated experiences that celebrate Portuguese culture and lifestyle.

Each guest at Kimpton Quinta da Marinha will experience the thoughtful touches that have become synonymous with the Kimpton brand, including Kimpton Kickstart, the signature daily offering of complimentary coffee and tea each morning, and Kimpton Social Hour, the beloved evening gathering that brings guests together over complimentary drinks and light bites. Guests can also take part in regular small-group learning sessions with local artisans, from traditional cork makers to skilled craftspeople, offering a deeper appreciation of the Portuguese craftsmanship, heritage and creativity that define the destination and the property.

As always, guests will find the thoughtful amenities that make Kimpton feel like a home away from home, including pet-friendly accommodations welcoming animals of all shapes and sizes at no additional charge, and yoga mats in every guest room, primed for embracing the tranquility of the surroundings.
