Too much of coastal Portugal has been covered in enormous resorts but there are still one or two gorgeous, wild corners for you to enjoy.
For families, we have two superb beach resort options in the Algarve: Pine Cliffs, and the slightly more sophisticated (and expensive) Martinhal Beach Resort
For those seeking health and wellbeing in the Algarve, we recommend the stylish and contemporary Epic Sana or, for more medically orientated programmes, we recommend Longevity at Vilalara Thalassa Resort.
Near the gorgeous historic town of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there’s the regal Penha Longa Golf & Spa Resort and overlooking the Atlantic on the west coast there’s the laid back Monte Velho Nature Resort in a National Park – great for yoga and surfing.
Madeira is another great year-round destination. We recommend Galosol for both families and adults who like to be active and enjoy the great outdoors.
All are perfect for a quick getaway, particularly if you like year-round sunshine and gorgeous beaches – or would like to try – surfing, hiking, biking, golf or yoga or embark upon a wellness programme.

Located on the Atlantic coast Portugal’s weather is affected by this vast body of water. With long, hot summers and temperatures reaching well in to the 40s you are almost guaranteed sun throughout the Summer. Winters tend to be milder and due to the Atlantic rain is not uncommon, but you can still expect many warm, sunny days. Definitely T-shirt weather, even in December.
