The mild climate and privileged locations near the sea make the Portuguese spas veritable natural wellness reserves, where guests can recuperate from the stress of everyday life. Traditional and oriental medical techniques, massages, hydro-treatments and aromatherapy are just some of the options in combating stress and giving new life to your skin.

In the Algarve, you will no doubt appreciate the massages with hot stones at the Quinta do Lago or the ‘Cleopatra’ Baths’ at the Vita Vital Centre. The spa centres in the Algarve are integrated in secluded resorts in prime sites, where quality of service is a question of honour. In this holiday region of international renown, there is no lack of activities to complement your health programme.

Go for a boat trip in the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, try your luck in a casino or simply spend the day soaking up the sun and bathing in the sea. The Algarve has some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe waiting for you.

In Madeira, the Savoy Resort and Choupana Hills spas are modern, ideally equipped centres in secluded settings in an area renowned for its rich, exotic vegetation. Here you can enjoy the typical ambience of an island in the Atlantic with a semi-tropical climate on walks along the levadas (irrigation channels), boat excursions or rounds of golf.
