Portugal hotels

Vale do Gaio, set over a magnificent dam in Alentejo, is the perfect place to relax in nature, with activities like canoeing, fishing, bird watching, astronomy, biking, and great hikes available. Otherwise, the Casa do Rio Wine Hotel in Douro is surrounded by wildflowers and boasts a breath-taking infinity pool facing views of vineyard-covered hills.

Apart from attracting surfers and seaside family holidays to renowned beaches, the Algarve’s ever-mild climate and world-class golf courses make it an ideal golfing destination. Tivoli Carvoeiro is just 0.7 miles from Vale de Milho Golf and even has its own mini golf course.

For views of the city skyline, pick a rooftop suite or one with a roof access. The Lx Boutique is in a particularly fortunate location since it is one of the few hotels offering views over both the city and the river of Lisbon, while the Jupiter Lisboa has a stunning rooftop pool and bar where you can enjoy the views while having a relaxing dip with a cocktail in hand.

Not only does Areias Do Seixo Charm Hotel & Residences boast a striking glass wall looking out to the beach right outside the hotel, it even has a surf school if you need some tips. It doesn’t hurt that it’s only a 10-min drive from the famous Santa Cruz beach, or 30min from Ericeira and Peniche - two of Europe’s best surf spots.

If you ever wanted to feel like royalty, the Pestana Palácio do Freixo in Port for you. An 18th-century Baroque building overlooking the Duoro River, the hotel boasts gigantic public spaces with tall ceilings that are majestically decorated. The Vilalara Thalassa Resort, meanwhile, has 11 hectares of stunning grounds in the Algarve, with a private beach, limo service, a tennis court, six swimming pools, a spa and fitness centre, and much more.
