Apart from being at the heart of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, Marinha Guincho is also close to Malveira da Serra, a little village where a baker, pharmacy, bank, supermarket, and others are to be found.
Between the ocean and Sintra mountains, set in a magnificent landscape with the Atlantic as backdrop, lies the Marinha Guincho Condominium. Mother-nature has been extremely generous with this spot. Yet, man has given it its final touch: a landscape architecture in perfect harmony with the resort's natural beauty.
Marinha Guincho resort fully complies with the natural characteristics of the place, giving its integration in the landscape a most relevant place. The freshness of Sintra mountains breezes and the ocean's tranquillity, together with the space's wideness, the quality of the infrastructures and the resort's restricted access - by means of a discreet surveillance system - provide residents with a very high standard of living.
