Elope in Sintra

Sintra has long been a retreat for poets, royals, and dreamers — those who believe in the kind of love that belongs in storybooks.

From the mystical halls of Quinta da Regaleira to the romantic gardens of Monserrate, every corner of Sintra is a masterpiece of atmosphere and mystery, waiting to become the setting for your unforgettable “I do.”

Ideas for a Dreamlike Ceremony

Say “I do” surrounded by beauty, history, and enchantment. Here are just a few ways your elopement here can feel truly magical:

• At sunrise in the misty woods of Pena
  Begin the day wrapped in silence and forest light, exchanging vows as morning mist weaves through ancient trees.
• A secret ceremony at Quinta da Regaleira
  Follow the hidden paths and gothic towers until you find a quiet corner among stone arches or beside the Initiation Well — perfect for symbolic rituals and personal vows.
• Among the flowers at Monserrate Palace Gardens
  Let nature bloom around you as you celebrate in one of Portugal’s most romantic botanical sanctuaries.
• Clifftop vows near Azenhas do Mar.
  Combine Sintra’s fairytale forest with the ocean’s vastness for a dramatic, windswept ceremony with the sea as your witness.
• A candlelit evening at a historic quinta
  Celebrate with an intimate dinner under twinkling lights and ivy-covered walls — elegance, privacy, and timeless charm.
