Set in national park land just outside Lisbon, the swish golf venue of Penha Longha has plans to become one of Europe’s top resorts.

Oriol Montal, resort general manager, says that owners RREEF, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank, have invested €30m, with a further €50m-€60m planned. Luxury villas and a hotel with apartments will be added to the existing spa, golf course and clubhouse.
