Lisbon's Ultimate Summer Escapes: Hotels with Pools Turning the City into a Resort Paradise

With long days and rising temperatures, some of the best hotels in the Lisbon region have created special summer programs open to the public, perfect for those looking to escape the routine with a swim, a good meal, or simply to relax. The new season brings brunches with a view, poolside massages, tropical cocktails, and even alternative workdays between swims and detox juices.

At the Lisbon Marriott Hotel, until August 31, the tropical garden transforms into a true urban resort. On weekends, the Pool Brunch with DJ livens up Saturdays and Sundays between 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM, with pool access until 7 PM. The menu, crafted by chef Dominic Smart, includes live egg stations, hot dishes like barbecue beef, roasted sea bream with avocado sauce, or chickpea curry, customizable poke bowls, and various desserts. There's also a kids' menu with quesadillas, mini pies, pancakes, and other kid-friendly options. The price is €59 per adult, including smoothies, water, coffee, and tea. Children under four eat free, and those between five and twelve get a 50% discount. During the week, pool access is available from 11 AM to 7 PM for €37 per person. The offer extends to the Bar Paradiso, located in the hotel's garden, serving pregos in bolo do caco, piri-piri chicken toasties, fish fingers, salads, homemade sweets, and various cocktails, ideal for a relaxed late afternoon under the palm trees. Reservations can be made at +351 217 235 400 or lisbon@marriotthotels.com.

At the Sheraton Cascais Resort, in Quinta da Marinha, the Summer Collection 2025 offers six distinct proposals until September 30, all with one thing in common: dips in the pool surrounded by nature. On Sundays, the Pool Brunch features three rotating menus with main dishes like picanha, pulled pork barbecue, or roasted cuttlefish, along with salads, boards, pizzas, sweets, and live music. Access is from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM, with the pool open until 7 PM. The price in September is €75 per adult and €37.50 per child (4-12 years); in July and August, it rises to €85 per adult and €42.50 per child. During the week, Sip & Soak offers a light lunch with dishes like goat cheese crisp with honey, bagels, and pistachio pavlova, followed by an afternoon of relaxation by the pool, for €75/adult and €37.50/child, from 1 PM to 7 PM. The Summer & Spa proposal includes a 50-minute massage at Serenity – The Art of Well Being and free time by the pool, Monday to Friday between 10 AM and 2 PM, for €79/adult and €39.50/child. On Saturdays, Summer & Fitness combines an outdoor pilates class, healthy brunch, and pool, between 11 AM and 7 PM, for €79 per person.

In the center of Lisbon, the rooftop of the Lumen Hotel, in Picoas, reopens its pool to non-guests with the return of the seasonal BreakPool package. The offer includes breakfast and access to the hotel's iconic red pool, with views over central Lisbon. The experience is available every day of the week, between 8 AM and 2 PM, subject to advance booking and with a maximum of ten external visitors per day. For €25 per person, the package includes a cold drink (natural or detox juice), a bakery option (sandwich, toast, or bruschetta of the day), a hot drink (coffee, galão, or tea), pool access, use of the changing rooms, and a towel (provided at check-in and available for purchase at the end). It can be a relaxed way to start the day, a break in the middle of a remote work morning, or simply an original alternative to break the routine on hotter days. Reservations should be made via email at info@restauranteclorofila.pt.

Between tropical gardens, rooftops, and spaces surrounded by nature, Lisbon and Cascais offer new ways to experience summer. With proposals designed for rest, socializing, or even teleworking with a swim in between, the region's hotels prove to be the ideal destination to enjoy every ray of sun, without leaving the city.
