Luxury holidays to Portugal

Our luxury breaks to Portugal make a beeline to some of the best beaches in Europe. Golf and spa hotels sprinkle the countryside, while beach resorts like Carvoeiro cling on to much of their village charm. Then there’s the island of Madeira. Gourmet Portuguese restaurants and sea-view rooms are to be expected here.

Beach life in the Algarve

There are lots of resorts to choose from when booking a luxury escape to Portugal. If it’s dramatic, pristine beaches you’re after, go for the Algarve. You can spend a few nights in a clifftop villa or deluxe golf hotel here. Albufeira is the biggest beach resort, while Vilamoura revolves around the million-pound marina. Carvoeiro is home to some of our top-rated villas and hotels. Whitewashed villas, a 17th-century fort and seafood restaurants hark back to the resort’s fishing village days.

Atlantic views in Madeira

Madeira is a volcanic island that’s closer to Morocco than Portugal. It’s known for a few things — its excellent red wine, dramatic Atlantic views and regal hotels. Belmond Reid’s Palace is a top place to stay, thanks to its garden spa and panoramic vistas.
