Luxury Holidays in Portugal

Best time to be there

Spring and autumn are the most pleasant times to visit. July and August can be very hot, especially in the sheltered bays of the
Algarve in the south, though this region is especially pleasant and mild during the winter months. Madeira and the Azores benefit from the warming influence of the Gulf Stream, so can be visited year round.

A centre of exploration and the birthplace of a great world empire, Portugal is a fascinating destination that blends the charm of ancient town and city centres with a selection of golden sandy beaches in the Algarve, swept clean each day by the Atlantic tides.

Luxury holidays in Portugal with Abercrombie & Kent gets you closer to the sights and sounds of a traditional way of life, whilst the beautiful Atlantic beaches are never far away for a relaxing Portugal holiday.

A World Heritage site, the region of Douro Valley has remained loyal to its strong wine culture and is famous for the Port Wine. The medieval town of Lamego is also well worth a visit during your luxury holiday in Portugal - with its 12th Century Gothic cathedral, the small church of Santa Maria de Almacave plus various elegant 17th Century buildings.

Start your Portugal holiday in the capital, Lisbon, rich with a history of exploration and discovery, and where many buildings and monuments reflect its maritime past. Contemporary Lisbon can be described as both cosmopolitan and quaint, where modern architecture blends in with ancient monuments and a zest for life is reflected in an insatiable appetite for music and nightlife.

Take your luxury holiday in Portugal south, to the country's best-known holiday region, the Algarve, famous for its year-round championship golf courses, lively social scenes and beaches that range from broad swathes of golden sand to small and sheltered coves. The relatively recent tourist development has done little to change the area's intrinsic character. You will still find little inland villages where time seems to have stood still - unspoilt fishing villages are modestly fortified against Moorish invasion and local restaurateurs queue at the quay to select the menu for the evening ahead, for the perfect dish on any Portugal holiday.

Standing clear and proud above the Atlantic depths is the semi-tropical island garden of Maderia - another fantastic destination.  Maderia holidays will guarantee you warmth, due to the Gulf Stream it is a year-round favourite with visitors in search of peace and tranquillity. The southern coast, where you can discover the capital Funchal, is protected by a ridge of mountains and is the warmest and sunniest part of the island.
