Memorable & personalized luxury holidays.
Small yet bewitching, Portugal truly packs a punch. Rich in history & lore, blessed with a diversity of terrain and terroirs, the country beckons with enchating experiences, heavenly seafood and memorable wines!
Évora Ruins – A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the walled city has Roman ruins, ancient cathedrals, a picturesque town square, winding alleys and some of the best biking trails in the country.
Chapel of bones, Évora – Reminders of human mortality are on display at the Chapel of Bones, as it is plastered with human skulls and bones. Makes for an unusual kind of visit.
Sintra – Follow in the footprints of the Celts and the Moors at Sintra, where the castle ruins overlook dreamy gardens and lush forests.
On the Tile Trail – Azulejos or glazed tiles are Lisbon’s signature. Found everywhere from walls of churches and monasteries to trams, these artistic creations have several stories to tell. Top spots to admire them in Lisbon are the Museu do Azulejo, Palácio dos Marqueses de Fronteira, Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora, Fábrica Sant'Anna, Fábrica Viúva Lamego and the Convento dos Cardaes (depicting the life of St. Teresa of Avila).
Equestrian delights, The Algarve – Saddle up a thoroughbred Lusitano horse and take riding lessons at the famed riding schools at The Algarve.
Surfing , Nazaré – Thanks to the presence of an underwater canyon, freak waves that are considered one of the largest in the world (78 ft) lure many brave surfers. Stop by at Nazaré to watch the waves crashing down.
Levada Trails, Madeira – The volcanic island of Madeira is home to mountains that play hide and seek with the ocean and ancient subtropical rainforests. Some of which thrive on the north side as Laurisilva forests, the oldest & biggest of its kind in Europe. In the early 16th century, the Romans thoughtfully peppered this landscape with open canals or levadas. Today, the levadas are not only sights by themselves, but open up dramatic vistas along their lengths.
