Black Tie Optional

-All guests are encouraged to wear black.

-Men are encouraged to wear a black suit or black tuxedo.

-Women are encouraged to wear long black dresses.

-Guests should fly into Lisbon Airport (LIS), which is conveniently located about 25 minutes from the hotel. Uber or Bolt from the airport is very easy. You can also set pick up through the resort.

-Most affordable plane tickets will typically be posted 4-8 months in advance.

ETIAS travel authorization will be needed in 2027 to travel to Europe. It is suggested to get these towards the end of 2026. https://travel-europe.europa.eu/en/etias

Lisbon has the EES system that requires finger prints, this can make customs slightly longer. We got through in 35 minutes when we arrived.

-When leaving Portugal make sure to give yourself an extra hour to go through all of the checks in the airport.

Room Block Coming Soon

You can choose to get a room, villa, or suite. Most will stay at the Kimpton Quinta da Marinha Hotel, but the villas and boutique hotel are also on property and are great options for bigger groups traveling together.

-Booking.com has rooms sometimes for cheaper, if you chose to book this way that is okay, but the resort cannot promise that you will be near other guests rooms and the discount code will not work for these. Please still email the resort and let them know you are a part of Abbey & Will's wedding.

Easy Day Trips- we suggest these on Friday and Saturday before the events.
