Luís de Camões – Portugal’s great national poet – likened his homeland to ‘a garden growing by the sea’. Sitting snug between Spain and the warm tides of the Atlantic, you’ll find such rugged rural beauty at every turn – and expressive cities, too. Europe’s often unsung hero, Portugal keeps us coming back. Mostly for those crisp, chilled glasses of locally produced Vinho Verde.

Lisbon’s hills and clattering trams; the stylish sands of Comporta; the cork-oak forests and floral meadows of Alentejo. One by one, place by place. This is a short (but seriously sweet) foray into one of Europe’s most beguiling countries.
Resplendent in lavish 18th-century decor, your stay at the Four Seasons Ritz will make you feel like royalty. From exquisite rooms to its unrivalled location on one of the city’s iconic Seven Hills. There’s no better place to rest your head.
Sweet, crisp and creamy – and lightly dusted with cinnamon. You guessed it. The pastel de nata: the traditional Portuguese pastry to end all pastries. Learning the delicious, sweet-toothed tricks of the trade, you’ll bake your own in a hands-on cooking class with one of Lisbon’s top pastry chefs. Be sure to come hungry.
You’ll stay at Sublime Comporta for three nights. Inside? Cool neutrals and crisp linens. Outside? Silky white sand beaches, rolling dunes, and bountiful paddy fields. Natural beauty, contemporary luxury. It’s postcard-perfect stuff.
You’ll explore Comporta’s wild sand dunes and pristine beaches in the best possible way, at the most mesmerising moment. On horseback, at sunset. Matched with your steed, you’ll set out – slow, steady, relaxed. The horses might pause to take a nibble at the emerald shrubs speckling the landscape – but we suspect you won’t mind. All the more time to soak up the dazzling ocean views.
You’ll find your cottage on the São Lourenço do Barrocal estate surrounded by wildflower meadows – swirling with butterflies and delicate floral scents. An ancient monte reimagined as a luxury hotel, understated elegance and farm-to-table living reign supreme here. We really love it. And so will you.
There’s nothing like floating fifteen-hundred feet in the air to give you a fresh perspective. At sunrise, you’ll take flight in a hot-air balloon over the Alentejo region’s rolling landscapes. It’s utterly beautiful. And conjures a curious juxtaposition, we find, of pure serenity with adrenaline rush. Upon landing you’ll be greeted with a glass of champagne. After all, this is a morning to be celebrated.
A spellbinding private performance of fado – a musical genre that can be traced back to the 1820’s in Lisbon – set within the city’s historic aqueducts.
