Oitavos rolls out an Arthur Hills design that peers down at the Atlantic Ocean at every turn and traverses three distinct landscapes, from dense stands of umbrella pines to sprawling, scrub-covered dunes to open, coastal transition areas bracketed by vegetation and buffeted by sea breezes. Only 20 minutes from Lisbon, Oitavos Dunes and The Oitavos Hotel are situated in the pretty coastal town of Cascais, alongside Sintra’s Mountain and Europe’s most westerly point, Cabo da Roca.
