Portugal is a picture-perfect European destination that lures travelers year-round with its sun-kissed coastlines, historic cities, and culinary delights. From the golden sands of the Algarve to the cobbled streets of Porto, each corner of this enchanting country offers a tapestry of experiences waiting to be explored.

Lose yourself in the labyrinthine alleys of Lisbon’s Alfama district, where the echoes of Fado music mingle with the aroma of freshly baked pastries from neighborhood bakeries. Or venture into the rugged beauty of the Azores, where emerald-green landscapes and volcanic craters create a dramatic backdrop for outdoor adventures. Whether you’re savoring a glass of port wine overlooking the Douro River or indulging in freshly caught seafood by the shores of the Atlantic, Portugal’s diverse offerings promise unforgettable moments at every turn.

Lisbon, the captivating capital, has solidified its status as one of Europe’s trendiest city break hotspots. While the summer months are an ideal time for a Portugal vacation, savvy travelers are also discovering the charms of the off-season. When many other European locales are cold or shuttered, Portugal’s mild climate and lively cultural calendar make it an enticing option for autumn and winter escapes.

With its compact size, Portugal is perfectly suited for dual-destination Portugal vacation packages. Spend a few days uncovering the vibrant energy of Lisbon or Porto before heading to the Algarve region. This sun-drenched coastal playground beckons with its idyllic beach towns, championship golf courses, and fresh seafood bounty. For an inland adventure, pair city exploration with the Douro Valley’s celebrated wineries and vineyards.

No Portugal itinerary would be complete without indulging in luxury accommodations. From iconic Grande Dame hotels to chic boutique properties, the country is a haven for discerning travelers. Our Portugal travel experts have hand-selected the most exceptional hotels and can craft a seamless luxury Portugal vacation tailored to your preferences. Contact us to unlock the authentic charms of this sun-soaked European gem with our insider knowledge and signature hospitality.

Six Senses Douro Valley

The Douro Valley is a beautiful part of Portugal. It’s a World Heritage Site famed for its wines. There are many vineyards to explore. Our favorite luxury hotel in the Douro Valley is Six Senses. It’s a countryside retreat with a world-class spa. The hotel also offers many opportunities to explore the local wine scene.

This hotel is 90-minutes away from Porto. It overlooks the valley and some of the local vineyards. There are 60 rooms with private balconies. It’s a 19th-century building that’s been modernized but still retains a charming old-world quality. You can sample some local wines, take a hike into the mountains and sample the local cuisine.

Reid's Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Madeira

The island archipelago of Madeira is famed for its wine: Madeira wines, natch. It’s one of the most popular island destinations on Earth. The islands were claimed by Portugal during the Age of Exploration. Our favorite luxury hotel in Madeira is Reid’s Palace, A Belmond Hotel.

It’s perched on a hilltop overlooking Funchal. You’ll have direct views of the Atlantic from your private balcony. Notable guests at the hotel have included Winston Churchill and George Bernard Shaw. Michelin-starred William is located within the grounds of the hotel. This is a very upmarket destination by any standard.

Reid’s Palace has been going for over a century and it remains a gold standard among luxury hotels. The rooms retain a charming, old-fashioned elegance. It’s sort of like stepping back in time to a more glamorous time, if there ever was such a thing.

Late Birds - gay hotel, Lisbon

Late Birds is Lisbon’s very own hotel for gay men. It’s Lisbon’s first gay hotel and it’s well worth checking out. Late Birds is located in the ever-popular Barrio Alto district. It’s a small, intimate hotel and the setting is ideal if you’d like to explore Lisbon’s nightlife. You can even combine a more upbeat stay here in Lisbon with a luxury retreat in Madeira or Porto.

It’s worth staying in a suite here. The building dates back to the 18th-century and it’s been fully renovated. It’s located on a quiet street in a buzzing area. You’ll find many bars and restaurants to explore on your doorstep.

You can have a cocktail at the bar in the evening. Clearly, this hotel is geared exclusively towards gay men and it presents many interesting social opportunities.

The Yeatman - Porto

The hotel is a wine lover’s paradise: the pool is shaped like a decanter. The Yeatman has a vast wine cellar and even grape-inspired treatments at the spa. In terms of location, The Yeatman is unbeatable. You’ll have one of the best views in Portugal. It’s just a short walk over the bridge to Porto’s charming Old Town.

Be sure to take a tour of the hotel’s famous cellar and make the most of its 24-hour bar. The decor is chic: about as stylish as stylish can be. The rooms have a classic elegance.

The on-site dining options are as good as you’d expect. As you’re in the natural home of port you can sample your aperitifs from over a thousand bottles. The Yeatman is hard to beat if you’re looking for luxury in Portugal.

Conrad Algarve

The Algarve is geared towards tourism. Its long stretch of Atlantic beaches and flawless climate make for an ideal destination. You can explore white villages, hike in the countryside, relax on the beaches and explore the Algarve’s nightlife scene. If you’re looking for a luxury hotel in the Algarve we’d suggest Conrad Algarve. It’s a big 5-star resort with all the amenities you’ll need. Conrad Algarve is inspired by an 18th-century palace.

There are 154 rooms and two outdoor pools. All of the rooms are big and come with balconies. Some of the suites are very grand. The bathrooms come with state-of-the-art amenities. Conrad Algarve is a great choice if you prefer larger resorts over boutique hotels.
