How about Portugal for honeymoon?
Palaces, beaches and 5 star resorts all make Portugal the perfect honeymoon location
Portugal for honeymoon? Charming and unique, Portugal is a wonderful European destination, full
of history, culture, stunning beaches and world class food and wine. Here are some places to
consider for your honeymoon in Portugal...
lisbon
The Lisbon area is the perfect destination location for newlyweds who wish to enjoy some unique experiences, luxury hotels and restaurants and not forgetting, beautiful beaches. Classic architecture, tiled patterned pavements, bustling cafes and tree lined squares make up the area of Lisbon’s downtown Baixa district; the city’s beating heart. Begin your explorations here, where you’ll find the No 28 Tram – the famous, yellow wooden tram will take you to some of the best corners of Lisbon and is among the most authentic way to soak up the city’s sights and sounds. Hop on board (or follow its tracks on foot) for a self-guided tour through charming, photogenic neighbourhoods. Explore the romantic Alfama district; Lisbon’s oldest area, and enjoy the maze of historic buildings and tiny plazas, before slipping inside a local bar or restaurant for dinner and a fado show. Fado is a soulful translation of the Portuguese spirit, both beautiful and melancholic music, and its sounds resonates throughout the district. Book our Lisbon, 6 Day Luxury Break or create a Portugal honeymoon with us.
sintra
Throughout history some of Portugal’s greatest authors and artists have sought inspiration in fairytale Sintra. With castles and peaks beyond your imagination it’s the most romantic destination in Portugal. Visit the delightful and colourful Pena Palace, stunning Monserrate Palace or ancient Castelo dos Mouros, then wander the pretty Sintra village to take in some lunch. Once you’ve soaked in the charms of Sintra, head to the coast. Soak in the vistas from Cabo do Roca (Europe’s most westerly viewpoint), or spend time sunning yourself on the uncrowded beaches such as Praia da Adraga, right on the Atlantic Ocean. Taste the DOC Colares wines at a local family-owned winery and stop at coastal cliff-side village, Azenhas do Mar for more stunning views. Enjoy our Sintra, Luxury 1 Day Tour as part of your bespoke, luxury Portugal honeymoon.
comporta
Secluded golden beaches, wild sand dunes and clear water all make Comporta’s coastal charms unforgettable. Comporta is (for now) a little-known fishing village with a few ultra-luxury spa resorts and hotel. Comporta remains largely undiscovered by tourists. At Praia da Comporta enjoy fabulous beachside seafood restaurants and chilled vibes at Sublime Comporta Beach Club. Explore the tiny boutique and artisan shops on Rua Dom Afonso Henriques and Rua do Secador in Comporta village, where embroidered kaftans, silken cushions and other suitcase-bound souvenirs await. The few luxury resorts boast world-class spas and fine cuisine. A perfect place to stay in the summer months or experience on a day trip from Lisbon. See Comporta on our Comporta, Luxury 1 Day Tour, perfect for a bespoke Portugal romantic getaway.
alentejo
Olive and cork trees dot the landscape in the rustic, farm-filled Alentejo region. The perfect region to visit excellent 5* wineries for wine tasting and enjoy rural actives such as ballooning, cycling or walking, cork factories and organic olive oil groves. Hilltop villages with artisan workshops, including ceramics and traditional rug weaving, are all available to join. All local adventures include either the landscape and nature or rural, traditional ways of working. Be sure to taste the best Alentejo dish – carne de porco à alentejana – a dish made with fried cubed pork, fried potatoes and clams in a garlic sauce. Alentejo is the perfect escape from touristic Portugal and you really feel as though you’ve stepped back in time and enjoyed nature.
Taste the Alentejo wines on our Alentejo Wine, Luxury 1 Day Tour, as part of your bespoke honeymoon in Portugal.
