ADVERTISING FEATURE Experience a slice of luxury in


With a huge offering of lavish hotels and spas, Portugal is solidifying its position as a luxury and wellness destination. Its long coastline and two island regions make it ideal for those looking for a coastal sanctuary, while its countryside is the perfect setting for a rural retreat. And at just a two-hour flight from the UK, your customers don’t have to travel far. Coimbra, one of the


most beautiful cities in the Centro region, is home to the exquisite Quinta das Lágrimas. The hotel boasts luxurious rooms, suites and a spa, but the real selling point is its gorgeous gardens, which are teeming with wildlife and beautiful flora. For a real countryside escape in the Alentejo, the Sublime Comporta is situated in a 17-hectare estate, an hour outside Lisbon. The beautiful, untouched white-sand beach is close by for guests to enjoy the best of both countryside and coastline.


Meanwhile, the Azores is the embodiment of a relaxing island getaway. For a spa experience like no other, recommend the Furnas Boutique Hotel on São Miguel island, home to the largest concentration of thermal waters in Europe. There are also 10 treatment rooms for your customers to feel pampered.


In the south of Portugal,


nestled into the Algarve’s coastline, is Pine Cliffs, a Luxury Collection Resort. With its range of exquisite


rooms and suites, the property is perfect for customers who are looking for luxury at its finest. The hotel’s spa also offers a wide range of treatments as well as wellbeing programmes and high-end products. The region is also home to one of the biggest events in Portugal’s wellness calendar, Algarve Spa Week. Held twice a year in the region, with the next one taking place from October 5-13, visitors can enjoy spa treatments and more for discounted prices.
