Portugal’s approach to luxury holidays is more under-the-radar than ostentatious, and it’s this rugged charm that seduces travellers and has them returning again and again. Portugal luxury holidays can be tailor-made to suit your tastes, whether you’re craving a countryside escape or a foodie city break. Epicurean enjoyment can be found in Lisbon’s dynamic dining scene, where cutting-edge restaurants have reinvented authentic Portuguese fares, and our local in-country Concierges can recommend the upper crust of culinary picks during your stay. Porto, Portugal’s second-largest city, is another foodie hub; supplied by the stunning vineyards of the Douro Valley, the city is well-known for its namesake port wines. Drift down the Douro River on a private boat, before embarking on an idyllic vineyard tour or a visit to the wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.
Portugal luxury holidays can also be a more laid-back affair. Alentejo, a region of sprawling oak forests and tranquil countryside, is the perfect backdrop for a secluded spa break with its sprinkling of luxury hotels. Or perhaps it’s a beachy break you’re lusting after. With over 500 miles of Atlantic coastline, there’s no denying that Portugal is an ocean-loving country, and the Iberian nation offers beaches in abundance. While the golden sand of the Algarve’s beaches may be prime real estate, there are plenty of hidden treasures located further up the coast and the untamed islands of the Azores and Madeira are well-kept secrets we’re more than ready to spill.
