Luxury holidays to Portugal

The Portuguese islands

Our really high end hotels lie in Porto Santo, a tiny island just a 40-minute ferry ride away from Madeira. Vila Baleira is the main town, thanks to its supersized sandy beach. The Pestana Colombos Premium Club scores a 10/10 for its sand-side spot, while the Hotel Pestana Porto Santo offers a spa. The Madeiran capital Funchal serves up its fair share of luxury hotels, too — and then throws in a boutique-heavy old town and flashy marina for kicks.

The Algarve

The Algarve is well-practised at serving up the ultimate beach holiday. You get to pick ‘n’ mix tiny tucked-away coves and long, lively stretches of sand. And our hotels put the scenery front and centre. For a choice of five-star hotels, try the village of Olhos d’Agua. It’s only a 15-minute taxi ride from lively Albufeira.
