Royal Obidos Scenic Resort

Golf, surf, and a boat to a biosphere reserve: this hilltop resort outside Óbidos manages to cover a lot of ground without feeling like it's trying too hard. Rooms have large private balconies where the sea views do most of the work, and the onsite golf course handles the rest. Baleal's surf breaks are a few minutes away, and the Berlengas Islands, with their caves and glass-bottom boats, are a short ride offshore.
