This beautiful peninsula, rising up out of the Sado estuary, consists of 18 kilometres of soft, sandy beaches and boasts superb conditions for swimming. Renting a serviced apartment or holiday letting in Troia gives you ideal access to all the beaches in this region as well as a professional, 18 hole golf course, a tennis centre, several swimming pools and some fabulous restaurants.

This paradise peninsula also houses the ruins of a Roman settlement, Cetobriga, which is well worth a browse. You will see fish salting tanks which were part of an ingenious Roman industrial plant, ancient tombs and Roman baths that are still adorned with traces of intricate mosaics.

Each of the beaches on this peninsula has it’s own charm and character, Troia-Mar beach overlooks the Serra da Arrabida mountains and has plenty of facilities for outdoor recreational activities including volleyball and rugby as well as a windsurfing school. Here you can hire a sunshade and just enjoy the beach or hire a small boat and take to the calm, clear waters.

Praia do Bico das Cells enjoys beautiful stretches of soft, white sand enclosed by dunes and here you will find allocated areas for volleyball and football, clear calm waters and several restaurants close by.

Praia Atlantica SolTroia provides white sands protected by dunes where you can rent an umbrella, sit on the soft sand and spot some of the region’s majestic dolphins as they play further out to sea. There are several bars and restaurants close by where you can enjoy a beachside drink and meal.

A serviced residence or aparthotel in Troia also gives you access to the wonderful golf course on this peninsula. Set in a region of such outstanding natural beauty, you would be hard pressed not to find this an impressive sight, even if golf isn’t your game. Surrounded by pine forests and with the Arrabida mountains as a backdrop this is a truly picturesque course on which to improve your handicap. This course has been considered as one of the very best in Portugal with regard to variety and difficulty and has played host to many championships. You will also find a superb restaurant here.
