Sesimbra is a whitewashed fishing village on the Arrabida coast, its cobbled streets running down to a sheltered bay, with the wild Cape Espichel beyond.
The Sesimbra wedding venue we work with sits by an unspoilt fishing village on a calm, swimmable bay, framed by the Arrábida: coastal character rather than polished resort.
Near the whitewashed fishing village of Sesimbra, its bay sheltered beneath the Arrábida hills, Mary Me works with a nature estate for celebrations of up to around 250 guests. It is 45 minutes to an hour from Lisbon and best from late spring to early autumn.
Sesimbra’s appeal is unspoilt seaside character, a genuine fishing town on a calm, swimmable bay, framed by the Arrabida hills, with the dramatic Cabo Espichel headland nearby. It’s about forty-five minutes to an hour from Lisbon, on the far side of the Arrabida from Setubal.
It’s an intimate, coastal option rather than a polished resort, best suited to small, relaxed celebrations by the sea.
Among the settings here is Sesimbra Natura Park, in the green of the Arrábida above the bay. Sesimbra suits relaxed, seaside celebrations; the neighbouring Setúbal and Palmela settings widen the choice on the same peninsula.
