Founded by the couple Chitra and Roman Stern, passionate about Portugal since forever, the hospitality and residential properties brand Martinhal has been revealing itself as one of the most complete and consistent, meeting the various needs and demands of those seeking an exceptional stay at the beach or in the city. The combination of impeccable service and sustainable dialogue between luxury and comfort quickly became known among the most demanding families worldwide seeking relaxed vacations in Portugal, offering a menu of exclusive hotels and resorts for children and parents and for all those seeking contact with the city. The properties, known for impeccable design, attention to detail, and offering world-class amenities — whether a seaside retreat or an urban oasis — have earned this brand a status not always easy to achieve, now consolidated. A work that has been cemented at the expense of work, rigor, and respect for the surroundings in which the properties are located, with sustainability as a guiding principle.
To the south, paradise for families and beach lovers
In the Algarve, Martinhal has two resorts widely publicized by national and international media: Martinhal Sagres Beach Family Resort, a luxurious seaside retreat, and Martinhal Quinta Family Resort, in Quinta do Lago, for a sophisticated and relaxing experience, designed for families and those seeking a premium golf destination. Houses with design, baby concierge, family activities, spa, and various dining proposals where quality and local products are a constant presence converge in a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere. Sports activities such as surfing, windsurfing, or kitesurfing, cycling, tennis or paddle games, as well as moments of well-being and beauty provided by Finisterra Spa, make this a must-visit destination in the south.
In Lisbon, history and river view
In the capital, the group offers two urban destinations: Martinhal Chiado, a very elegant urban retreat, in the historic center of Lisbon — in the Chiado neighborhood —, and the most recent inauguration, Martinhal Lisbon Oriente, with a different concept: exclusive luxury apartments and branded residences in Lisbon’s most modern neighborhood, Parque das Nações, for leisure and family guests, but also for those seeking long-term stays — such as digital nomads and business travelers working remotely.
Martinhal Lisbon Oriente: the next step
Designed by renowned architect Eduardo Capinha Lopes, Martinhal Lisbon Oriente features cutting-edge architecture and a very contemporary green facade that distinguishes it as a reference destination. Among the plethora of amenities, highlights include heated indoor and outdoor pools, a highly equipped gym, a workspace, a kids club, a leisure area, and the Terrace restaurant, versatile and open all day.
Meet at the Terrace
Inspired by Portuguese explorations in the East, the Terrace offers a culinary journey through Eastern and Mediterranean fusion kitchens. Here, in the morning, you can enjoy a coffee or a delicious brunch; during the day, lunch is served with a view and, with the arrival of the night, dinner is enjoyed. Everything is designed with the utmost quality because the group’s gastronomic experiences are recognizably distinct and unique. The Terrace restaurant features elegant interiors, bathed in natural light, art, and lush vegetation, and is complemented by the terrace, which extends the room outdoors. The menu also takes into account younger guests, with a dedicated menu for children and babies, including healthy options such as fresh fruit purees; in turn, access to the kids club guarantees a relaxing moment for families. The exclusive gastronomic experience of the Terrace throughout the day is complemented by a special weekly program, including happy hours for those who want to relax after work with a cocktail; wine on Wednesdays, based on the carefully selected Martinhal wine list; jazz nights every Thursday; sushi night, just before the weekend arrives, on Fridays; and Sunday brunch with live music, as well as children’s entertainment in the kids corner, with babysitting service available at an additional cost.
Martinhal Residences – Luxury Riverside Living, five-star hotel services
For those seeking a truly exceptional living experience, the new Martinhal Residences provides the opportunity to reside on the top floors of Martinhal Lisboa Oriente. This property guarantees access to the services of a five-star luxury hotel and to Martinhal’s renowned hospitality every day of the week. The spacious living areas decorated with contemporary furniture merge with panoramic views, creating an atmosphere of serenity and indulgence. In the apartments, only top brands were used, such as Vitra furniture and Bulthaup kitchens, equipped with Miele appliances. With unique views over the Oriente skyline and the Tagus River, this branch of the group also includes penthouses, available for those seeking a luxury life. With the airport just a ten-minute drive away and the city’s main international railway station just steps away, guests are connected to the world. Last but not least, this location is also ideal for international families, thanks to the nearby presence of the United Lisbon International School K-12, a member of the Dukes Education school group, a modern and innovative institution that offers education to children, preparing them for the future, with the signature of the Elegant Group, by Chitra and Roman.
