  • Penha Longa Resort is a refuge of comfort and tranquility consisting of 204 Sintra hotel rooms, apartments, and luxury suites with breathtaking views of the Natural Park and the Golf Course. One of only two 3-Michelin Key hotels in all of Portugal; the highest honor.

  • The Penha Longa Resort sits between Sintra and Cascais in the National Park. The mountains create a microclimate that is typically cooler than central Lisbon. Pack your SPF, bug spray, and sunnies, maybe even a rain jacket. A shawl or wrap may be needed in the evenings. Strong Winds are typical for the area!

  • Nestled in the tranquil Sintra Mountains near Lisbon, Portugal, this retreat dates back to the 14th century, when both hermit monks and Lisbon royalty called the area home. Penha Longa is an upscale golf and spa-centric resort with Michelin-starred dining and refined activities. Surrounded by the National Sintra-Cascais Park, there are hiking trails, horseback riding, Palaces to explore, and more. During the day, you will find guests in their finest resort wear and golf attire; by night, you will see guests in smart-casual to cocktail attire. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Stilettos are not recommended for most areas in Portugal, generally; you will be much better balanced on a thicker heel! Bring your swimwear and athleisure to indulge in all the amenities.

  • At all of our events: Yes and No. For a short period, you will be enjoying the manicured gardens...There are paths of stone, tile etc to/from the different events. We recommend footwear you know & trust, as the events are held at historic sites with uneven surfaces.

  • We request that you wear colorful cocktail party attire, which can include dresses, separates, caftan, jacket, slacks, or smart casual. No tie needed. Now that's tea.

  • Modern Glamour set against 16th Century Castle Ruins & 14th Century Monastery. Ceremony, followed by Cocktail reception, Dinner, and Dancing. Chic. After party included...take off that tie, dust off them knees, and listen to Erica's Wedding Bop Playlist on Apple Music to get in the party mood ;)

  • Yes, the ceremony and reception will begin outdoors. After sundown, a pashmina or wrap may be a smart accessory.

  • 5:00PM darling

  • Please refrain from sitting in the first two rows, as these will be reserved for family members. Traditionally, the bride's guests sit on the left, with the groom's guests on the right. No pressure...

  • Girl, bye.

  • Ofc.

  • Let's see where the night takes us.

  • Its totally casual. Bring your hangover. Wear your Pajamas or Prada - or both.
