Royal Obidos Scenic Resort
Sleek, nature-integrated resort with Starck-influenced interiors. Feels upscale without being stuffy — good for golfers, families, couples, and surf-curious guests equally. Rooms have that clean contemporary Portuguese design feel rather than flashy luxury.
Book a sea-view room or suite in the Evolutee Hotel — the Atlantic and lagoon panorama is the real draw; garden-view rooms are significantly less special
Why It Matters
The Evolutee Hotel's interiors were designed by Yoo Studio, co-founded by Philippe Starck. The golf course is one of very few in Portugal designed by Severiano Ballesteros. The resort sits on 136 hectares with direct sightlines over the Óbidos Lagoon — the largest coastal lagoon in Portugal. It's also in the Michelin Guide.
A 136-hectare resort on Portugal's Silver Coast that genuinely delivers on the golf-beach-nature trifecta. The 5-star Evolutee Hotel sits at the heart of it, designed by Yoo Studio (the Philippe Starck–affiliated firm), with panoramic views over the Óbidos Lagoon and the Atlantic. Forty minutes from Lisbon, close enough for a day trip but far enough to feel properly removed. The 18-hole Seve Ballesteros–designed golf course wraps around the property, Peniche-Baleal surf breaks are minutes away, and the Berlengas Islands nature reserve is a 40-minute boat ride offshore.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
1 Bedroom Apartment
4-star apartment with a full suite-style bedroom (shower), living room with sofa bed, kitchenette, and dining table. Private terrace comes standard. Cleaning every 3 days. Good option for couples wanting more space and kitchen access without going to a villa.
2 Bedroom Apartment
4-star T2 apartment that combines the 1-bedroom (T1) and studio (T0) units. The result is a suite with shower, a room with bathtub, a living room with sofa bed, kitchenette, and dining area — effectively sleeping 4 comfortably. Private terrace. Cleaning every 3 days.
3 Bedroom Villa - 101
A standalone 180m² villa across two floors. Top floor has 2 en-suite bedrooms with private bathrooms. Ground floor has a third bedroom, lounge, dining area, fully fitted kitchen, one bathroom, storage, and an 81m² terrace. Private garden with pool and ping-pong table. Rates on request.
180 sqm3 Bedroom Villa - 102
The larger of the two villas at 260m² over three floors (basement, ground, first). Three en-suite bedrooms — two with sofa beds for extra capacity. Living/dining room, kitchenette, and terrace. The garden is the standout: private pool, Jacuzzi, BBQ, fire pit, and parking. Rates on request.
260 sqmDeluxe Double/Twin Room Sea View
Same generous proportions as the Superior, but positioned to capture direct sea and golf course views — the defining difference. Portuguese-tiled bathrooms with bathrobes and a bathtub. This is the entry point for the views that make the hotel worth booking.
Master Suite
The top tier in the Evolutee Hotel. Same panoramic sea, Berlengas, and golf course views as the Suites, but adds a private Jacuzzi on the balcony. The living space is seriously large — designed for families celebrating something or couples wanting full-resort-in-a-room comfort.
Studio Apartment
4-star rated studio in the Royal Óbidos Villas & Apartments complex. One bedroom, private bathroom with bathtub, and a kitchenette. Every unit has a private terrace with views. Cleaning is every 3 days rather than daily — more suited to extended stays or families wanting self-catering flexibility.
Suite
Two suites available in the Evolutee Hotel, designed to feel genuinely spacious rather than just an upgraded room. Large private balconies look out over the sea, the Berlengas Islands on clear days, and the golf course. Built with families and special occasions in mind.
Superior Double/Twin Room
Spacious rooms in the 5-star Evolutee Hotel with good natural light, free WiFi, satellite LCD TV, and air conditioning. Bathrooms are tiled in traditional Portuguese azulejos, with bathrobes and a full bathtub. Views vary — some look over the golf course, others towards the garden.
