This retreat is an opportunity to savor the best of Portuguese gastronomy while creating friendships with a select group of entrepreneurs and creatives.
21st CENTURY LUXURY, 17th CENTURY FORTRESS
-
Cascais has long been synonymous with luxury, serving as a royal retreat since the 19th century. The Portuguese monarchy discovered its charm in the late 1800s, transforming the town into a summer residence for kings and queens seeking solace by the sea. The royal family’s love for Cascais is still evident today in the stately villas, palaces, and manicured gardens that dot the coastline, offering a glimpse into the opulence once enjoyed by Portugal’s aristocracy.
Today, Cascais attracts travelers seeking sophistication and relaxation, with high-end shops, boutique hotels, and exclusive beachfront locations.
Cascais’ culinary scene is a highlight, featuring fresh, locally sourced seafood, with dishes showcasing everything from succulent lobster and plump sardines to delectable octopus and rich seafood stews. Cascais also boasts a growing reputation for fine dining, with Michelin-starred chefs bringing global culinary influences to its historic tables.

The Fortaleza do Guincho is a stunning 5-star hotel set along the cliffs of the Atlantic Ocean in Cascais, Portugal, offering a perfect blend of history, luxury, and natural beauty.
Housed in a 17th-century fortress, this exclusive hotel boasts breathtaking ocean views and direct access to the beach. A Michelin-starred restaurant, world-class service, and rooms with rich heritage make it a truly exceptional destination.

Gunner
CO-FOUNDER of Neural Internet
As an entrepreneur building a business remotely, joining the Nomad Home family has been a transformative experience for me. The journey of remote work can indeed get lonely, but Nomad Home has provided a vibrant community that fills that void.
Being part of a global network of like-minded individuals who share a passion for food, unique travel experiences, and both personal and professional growth has been incredibly enriching. The curated fine food and luxury travel experience in France has not only allowed me to explore stunning locations, but also allowed me the privilege to foster lifelong connections with fellow entrepreneurs and creatives.

Tho
CO-FOUNDER of DFINITY and SR. PROGRAM MANAGER
Nomad Home provided just what I was looking for in a retreat between my travels: connection and indulgence. Everything from the luxurious excursions down to snack preferences are taken care of by Kella, which allows everyone the freedom to enjoy their company, naturally learn about one another, and even about ourselves in the process. Icing on the cake is the dreamy backdrop of a beautiful chateau in France or Italy. Book a trip and you’ll leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated in all the ways that matter.

Adelaide
FOUNDER of AMD Creative Co.
Spending a week in a castle with Nomad Home was nothing short of a fairytale.
I was blown away by the customer service and luxury during my week-long stay in the French countryside. Despite being in a remote area, Nomad Home planned everything down to the nitty-gritty details, had Starlink Wi-Fi installed, and planned perfectly curated daily activities and culinary experiences.
I would highly recommend Nomad Home to remote workers looking for a carefully crafted luxury experience and an opportunity to meet like-minded people in an exotic location. I made so many friends who live a similar lifestyle to mine.

Laurie
FOUNDER of Outsourceful
Running my own business can get lonely and repetitive at times so it was refreshing to be able to travel, cowork, and bounce ideas with a group of founders. Although many of us were from different countries, it was surprising how much we had in common.
It's also an added bonus when I can show up, eat great food, and have every detail taken care of.
I’ve been to multiple Nomad Home events now, from Italy to London, and have met incredible people in my home city. There are 4 of us that met that have already set up monthly reunion dinners; we really left as a family.
