Penha Longa Resort

Penha Longa Resort is a 194-room Ritz-Carlton property built around a 14th-century monastery and 18th-century palace, set on 220 hectares in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. The estate combines heritage architecture, two golf courses (one championship, one short course), three Michelin-starred restaurants, and a spa — making it Portugal's most complete corporate event property.

WHY THIS VENUE

Penha Longa for corporate and private events

Penha Longa is the default choice for large corporate events that need both gravitas and operational scale: international conferences (300+), banking galas, brand launches with media programme. The Lake Pavilion holds 300 cocktail; the heritage rooms scale up to 240 seated dinner; the meeting facilities include eight breakout rooms. Three Michelin restaurants on-site means catering is at flagship level by default. We've produced multi-day Web Summit side-events, 240-guest banking galas, and 3-day executive retreats here.

QUESTIONS WE GET

Penha Longa — frequently asked questions

Yes — 8 breakout rooms, professional AV infrastructure, 280-seat ballroom, and 194 hotel rooms make it Portugal's strongest corporate event venue. We've produced multi-day conferences with 300+ delegates here, including Web Summit side-events and banking forums.

Pestana Palace gives 19th-century palace gravitas — single architectural register, intimate scale (up to 250). Penha Longa gives heritage + scale — monastery cloister combined with modern ballroom, capacity to 300. Choose Pestana when historical register is the priority; choose Penha Longa when scale or multi-room programme matters.

The Atlantic Course (championship, 18 holes) hosts corporate tournaments for 40–80 players. The Spa offers 60-minute group wellness programmes. We've run forest team-building in the Sintra Natural Park starting from the resort grounds — orienteering, photography rallies, culinary workshops at the Italian restaurant.

12–16 weeks for standard productions. International conferences with 200+ delegates and full property block need 20+ weeks. Web Summit week (early November) closes booking 9–12 months in advance — that window is the highest-demand period of the year.

Full-day corporate events for 100–200 guests typically range €80,000 to €250,000+ depending on programme, accommodation block, and F&B level. Multi-day conferences with full property block can reach €500,000+. Itemised proposal in 48 hours.
