The Westin CampoReal Golf Resort & Spa has opened north of Lisbon on the beaches of Portugal’s Silver Coast. The Orizon Style & Real Estate Group-owned property is the first resort in Portugal to be managed by Westin Hotels & Resorts. Westin CampoReal is set in a magnificent valley overlooking the unspoiled natural landscape in a land formerly used by the Portuguese royal family as hunting ground. The 151-guestroom hotel also includes 132 Westin residences and apartments and four villas.

The hotel restaurants offer a variety of traditional Portuguese dishes as well as international cuisine and fine wines, to be enjoyed in a relaxed ambience. Fine dining is offered at Grande Escolha, and the Lounge Bar and Clubhouse are the ideal places to go for drinks and snacks. Conference and meeting facilities can accommodate up to 600 people for business meetings and corporate events. The banqueting facilities and adjacent outdoor terraces are ideal for every type of function, from barbecues to weddings.

Donald Steel helped design the challenging 18-hole championship golf course, which challenges even expert players. The adjacent Clubhouse provides a relaxing atmosphere for golfers in which to unwind, as well as a Pro Shop with the top brands in clothing items. Other recreational facilities include a state-of-the-art equestrian center, swimming pools, health club, nearby tennis courts and a multi-purpose playing field. In addition, a modern spa center is set to open next summer, offering the latest trends in treatments, such as vinotherapy.
