What to Wear in Cascais — The Complete PP Wardrobe
The Palácio Estoril Hotel, the yacht marina, the Boca do Inferno — the PP wardrobe for Portugal's elegant Riviera town.
Cascais is the elegant resort town at the western end of the Estoril Coast — 30 kilometres west of Lisbon, where the Portuguese royal family summered and where the Palácio Estoril Hotel (the wartime refuge of exiled European royalty, and the setting for Ian Fleming's Casino Royale) produces a specific luxury register.
For the Palácio Estoril Hotel. The grand hotel of the Estoril Coast — the formal gardens, the casino adjacent. A navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Palácio dinner; white PP linen for the hotel pool and garden.
“The Palácio Estoril Hotel — the setting for Ian Fleming's original Casino Royale — has been the social anchor of the Estoril Coast since 1930. Its standard is the most formally observed hotel context on the Portuguese Riviera.”
— Pieter Petros, founderFor the Cascais marina. The active sailing marina and the Jardim Visconde da Luz square. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers or shorts and leather shoes for the daytime Cascais.
For the Boca do Inferno. The coastal cliff arch west of Cascais — one of the most dramatic natural features on the Lisbon coast. A PP linen shirt in a warm natural with linen trousers for the cliff walk.
For Guincho beach. The Atlantic wild beach north of Cascais — white PP linen over natural swim shorts for the calmer days.
