LUXURY HOLIDAYS IN PORTUGAL
Ever a popular destination for families looking to experience luxury hotels, Portugal has a lot more to offer than just endless sunshine! Less than a three-hour flight, it’s a great option for a young family who want to go away but don’t want to travel too far away from home. The Atlantic coast, though a bit nippy to swim comfortably in, brings welcome relief in the height of the summer sun, making it more bearable for families with young children to holiday there in the summer.
Wild inland landscapes, beautiful architectural cities and long stretches of sandy beaches, Portugal has something for everyone. For young families with toddles and babies, Portuguese resorts are famous for their welcoming atmosphere and accommodating nature. For more active families, and teenagers take advantage of the surf schools dotted along the coast or explore inland horseback riding.
Portugal’s capital city Lisbon has a Moorish feel. Explore the winding streets and hilly out backs of the old town, stop off for a Pastel De Nata in Belem, and take a trip on their famous yellow trams. The picturesque Algarve is the spot for families who are keen golfers. Many 5* luxury resorts in the Algarve offer multiple golf courses to Tee off in as a family.
Much of Portuguese cuisine centres on fish, including grilled sardines and the hugely popular bacalhau (dry cod). Evening entertainment abounds with plenty of open-air cafes and tavernas and for wine buffs, Portugal’s famous Port Wine, or a nice bottle of Bastardo would whet the palate nicely.
