With its sandy beaches, areas of natural beauty plus historic squares and houses decorated with beautiful tilework façades, it’s no wonder Cascais is dubbed the “Charm of the Atlantic Coast”.

It’s situated on the Portuguese Riviera, and is only 30 minutes from Lisbon. Cascais is still very much a working port and you’ll see fishing nets and lobster pots stacked up on the jetty and a thriving fish market.There’s also a swish marina with gleaming yachts and elegant shops.To the west of Cascais, you can marvel at Boca do Inferno, an amazing sea arch and cliff formation where the waves crash in dramatically during winter storms and the water erupts upwards like a volcano, giving the name the Mouth of Hell.

Blessed with pleasant temperatures, it’s a magnet for wealthy celebrities and politicians. Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo is building a £17 million family home here.

Golfers, too, are drawn to the area’s impressive greens.
