The Castaway in Lisbon

This studio sits in Sesimbra, a picturesque fishing village on Portugal’s Costa Azul, known for beaches like Praia do Ouro and the historic Castelo de Sesimbra with its panoramic views. The Serra da Arrábida Natural Park is close by for hiking, and local seafood restaurants — including Portofino and Sósal Beach Bar, both on Praia do Ouro — offer fresh dishes with Atlantic views. Managed by GuestReady with 24/7 support, this 70-square-meter apartment sits right in front of the beach, ideal for couples seeking a calm spot. It has an open-plan layout combining living, dining, sleeping, and kitchen areas, with a comfortable double bed in hotel-quality linens, a flat-screen TV, and a dining table (a single divan in the living room can also be requested for a child). Wide windows bring in plenty of natural light, and a balcony with seating offers sea breezes and beach views. The kitchenette covers the essentials, including an electric hob and coffee machine, and the bathroom is stocked with fresh towels and toiletries. Located on the first floor with elevator access, the apartment also gives guests access to a shared swimming pool. It’s self-check-in with ID verification and a signed rental contract required in advance, check-in from 3pm, and a strict no-smoking policy; Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado Airport is about a 50-minute drive. Note that some building construction work is currently underway and may cause occasional noise during business hours.
