Ten places in Cascais promising a different - and delicious - Christmas Eve

Have you ever thought of sleeping inside a work of art? At Artsy, that's precisely the experience, with even the exterior showcasing artistry, featuring a Vhils creation adorning the entire side facade. Inside, revel in a cozy ambiance and a special Christmas menu. You can reserve a table at the ART restaurant or, for a more private moment, in the Pink Room. The offer caters to two people and includes a stay from December 23rd to 25th, Christmas Eve dinner, and a Christmas brunch to conclude the long weekend (€408 per person).

For nearly a century, families have gathered at the Hotel Inglaterra Charme & Boutique to celebrate Christmas, surrounded by a blend of contemporary and conservative "belle époque" styles. The historic Christmas Package (€115 per person) includes one night's accommodation in a standard double room with a buffet breakfast, a welcome drink, and a Christmas supper with selected beverages from the hotel's assortment.

In the vicinity of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, there's no need to check in to enjoy the Christmas offerings. Penha Longa brings Christmas to your home with a delicious Chocolate Bolo Rei (King's Cake) (€39), created by Chef Siopa, or with the offering of four catering menus starting at €47 per person. For those wishing to combine the useful with the enjoyable by spending the night away, the hotel offers a special Christmas package valid for stays on December 24th, including the Christmas Eve dinner (€78 per person when purchased separately). You can also opt for just the dinner or choose the Christmas Day Lunch (€82 per person), both at Penha Longa Mercatto. It's promising for the little ones too: they can write a letter to Santa, bake cookies for him (€41 per child), visit the Toy Factory (€41 per child), or meet the bearded old man on the 24th.

"Family Memories," "The Christmas Table King," "The Chef's Star," or "Sweet Magic and its Dried Fruits"... Which will you choose? These are the dishes served at InterContinental's Christmas dinner on the night of the 24th (€95 per person). And the celebration doesn't end there. On the 25th, the Buffet option (€80 per person) offers chef-selected selections across various stations. Enjoy it at your own pace, with nothing but peace and love.

Because Christmas rarely equates to healthy, this year can be different by opting for Local - Your Healthy Kitchen to help you stay (mostly) on track. They adapt to seasonal produce and offer three Christmas group menu options for lunches and dinners, all below €50. The buffet brunch, for a minimum of 8 people, includes a selection of breads, cakes, pancakes, fruit, dishes, salads, and more. It starts at €21.50 per person.

Onyria in Greek means dream—and what time of the year is more conducive to dreaming? That's precisely what the Onyria Group aims to provide families this Christmas. Whether at the Onyria Marinha Boutique Hotel or the Onyria Quinta da Marinha Hotel, you can opt for the Family Christmas menus, served on the 24th dinner or the 25th lunch, with prices below €50. It truly seems like a dream.

One hotel, multiple gardens, plenty of tranquility. That's what you'll find at the Sheraton Quinta da Marinha, where there's no shortage of offerings for spending Christmas with the family: the Christmas Package (€349), for two people, includes accommodation, breakfast, and a special Christmas dinner at the Glass Terrace; the Christmas Eve Dinner (€85 per person) on December 24th promises themed decoration and buffet, with vegetarian options and a special menu for children; and the Christmas Day Brunch (€85 per person) on December 25th combines live music with a seafood station, a traditional dessert buffet, and a Kids Corner. For those who won't give up their cozy abode, there's also a take-away menu, the Xmas & New Year’s Eve 2Go, which should be reserved up to 48 hours before collection, until December 29th.

A hotel towering above the ocean that, this Christmas, offers your family a truly 5-star experience—aside from the best view of the town, of course. You can opt for the Christmas Eve dinner (€135 per person) on the 24th or the Christmas Lunch Menu (€130 per person) on the 25th, both including seven courses and a wine selection. To wrap up the weekend in grand style, stay for the dinner on the 25th (€110 per person), which includes wine pairing.

Between the sea, the mountains, and the town, the Hotel Cascais Miragem is the ideal spot to witness the beauty of the coastline bathed by the Atlantic. You can choose the two-night package, including stays on December 23rd and 24th with Christmas Eve dinner, or, to enjoy the view and comfort without watching the clock, opt for the three-night package, which adds a stay on December 22nd.

Located just a few steps from Carcavelos beach, you can take a family stroll and burn off what you've eaten at the Christmas Day lunch buffet (€38) on December 25th at the Hotel Riviera. On the previous night, the Christmas Eve dinner is at the A Concha restaurant. It costs €38 per person, and children up to 3 years old don't pay.
