#### Location
The Aroeira golf resort, dubbed the ‘Wentworth of Lisbon' in its early years, is set amidst beautiful pine woodlands and has become a destination of choice for golfers and non-golfers alike. With Lisbon just 25km away, and the beaches of the Lisbon Coast as close as 6km away, you don't need to be handy with a five-iron to appreciate its stunning location.

The pine woods and lakes contribute to a microclimate that offers the chance to enjoy a round of golf at any time of year. With a tropical swimming pool and four tennis courts, other sporting activities are catered for too.

To the south, Praia do Meco is a cool, remote beach known for its surfing and nudism – indeed, Portugal's go-to naturist beach. Around 11km from here, Sesimbra is gaining popularity as a resort. It's peaceful, family-friendly and has a laid-back calm about it. The heritage of the area is evident in churches, castles and historic buildings – the Castelo do Sesimbra offers a rewarding sea view (albeit at the end of a pretty steep climb).

For the most spectacular lookout point in the area, head for Cabo Espichel. A lighthouse and monastery sit on the dizzying cliffs, with the expansive Atlantic Ocean ahead, making this a place to go to reflect and be at one with nature – and many make the trip when visiting Lisbon, around one hour's drive north.
Extending all the way along the coast from Sesimbra to Setubal, the Arrabida Natural Park only adds to the wonder of the region. Whether scuba diving, hiking, dolphin spotting, or even hovering above it all in a hot-air balloon, it's unforgettable in all the best ways.
