Penha Longa Resort, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel Holds Two Michelin Stars in Sintra

Penha Longa Resort, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel, has established itself as a leading culinary destination in Portugal, holding Michelin stars at two of its restaurants. LAB by Sergi Arola, from the celebrated Spanish chef, and the Japanese restaurant Midori both carry stars, anchoring a dining program of seven venues.

Set within the green hills of the Sintra-Cascais Nature Reserve, the resort is built around a 14th-century monastery and chapel, now reimagined as an events venue, surrounded by mystical forests and Atlantic breezes. Beyond the table, it offers a spa with an oriental garden, indoor and outdoor pools, and a 27-hole championship golf course.

Sintra's palace-dotted landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Portugal's most romantic regions, a short drive from both Lisbon and the coast. Penha Longa pairs that setting with a genuinely serious kitchen.
