The perfect guide for Valentine's Day

If the plan is to make Valentine’s Day more than a rushed dinner, the InterContinental Cascais-Estoril is rolling out a Romantic Week from 7 to 14 February, tailored to each couple. And here, “tailored” isn’t just a turn of phrase: packages can include a stay, spa experiences and a special Valentine’s dinner, mixed and matched to suit your pace – because some couples want bubbles and massages, while others prefer sea views and silence. The highlight lands on the night of 14 February, with a menu designed for sharing. It begins with a sea-and-spice-inspired amuse-bouche, moves on to a platter of seafood, sushi and sashimi to split (because that’s love, too), continues with carefully prepared fish and meat courses, and ends with a strawberry and white chocolate heart-shaped dessert. Dinner is €75 per person (drinks not included), with wine pairing available for an additional €25. Reservations can be made via email (liset.reservations@ihg.com) or by phone (+351 218 291 100).

Before dinner, swap the predictable bouquet for something a little less obvious. Cascais Happy Tours offers a two-hour walk through romantic corners of the town, weaving together tales of forbidden love, secret stories and real-life passions lived out by those who once passed through. It’s not just a stroll – it’s a journey through the narratives that turned Cascais into a backdrop for meetings and missed connections. The tour lasts two hours and costs €45 per person (minimum of two people), with special rates for families of four or more. Ideal for those who enjoy walking hand in hand – but also appreciate a good story along the way.

If you’re keen to stretch out the celebrations, circle back to where you started and turn dinner into a full weekend. The Romantic Week at the InterContinental Cascais-Estoril lets you bundle together a stay, spa time and dinner into one seamless plan.

You can also extend the night with the Valentine’s Package at the Farol Hotel, which transforms your dinner reservation into a proper getaway for two. It includes an overnight stay for two, a romantic VIP welcome on arrival and dinner at The Mix. Prices vary depending on the room: garden-view doubles from €330, sea-view doubles from €360, superior doubles at €395 and junior suites at €640. The rate is valid for the night of 14 February and includes the special set menu.
