The contemporary hotel is set amongst sand dunes and pine trees and is adjacent to the award winning Arthur Hills-designed Oitavos Dunes golf course, ranked 88th ranking in the top 100 world courses by Golf Magazine.

The hotel will have 142 spacious guest rooms, including 14 deluxe suites, one superior and one premium suite each with its own balcony offering sea views and vistas over the golf course. Guests will be able to enjoy numerous dining experiences including a gourmet signature restaurant, a sushi bar, tea lounge and casual restaurant with open air terrace. The full service destination spa, inspired by the ocean, will use natural and organic treatment products and offers a holistic wellness approach.  There will be 10 treatment rooms, a spa garden and indoor and outdoor seawater swimming pool.

In addition the hotel will feature a conference centre for up to 300 people. There will be five additional meeting and boardrooms catering for up to 150 people. Each offers space, comfort, daylight views and the best technical support ensuring meetings are handled efficiently and with ease.

Set within the family owned Quinta da Marinha Original estate, hotel guests are guaranteed an intimate and intensely private holiday location. The sporting estate boasts one of Portugal’s leading equestrian centres, a Health and Racket Club and the Oitavos Dunes golf course – one of the world’s top 100 golf courses.

Commenting on the creation of The Oitavos, Luis Silverio, CEO of Quinta da Marinha Original, says “The Oitavos is a luxury hotel at the pinnacle of contemporary design and innovation, offering a modern outlook of Portugal yet rooted in Portuguese heritage. The hotel is the culmination of the Champalimaud family’s vision, having first purchased the land during the 1920s, and completes this exceptional sporting estate”.
