Say goodbye to stress and get into shape for the Autumn. There’s no shortage of ideas for looking after yourself in Portugal. We guarantee you’ll return home in high spirits.

Relax with a hydro-massage in thermal waters, after a quiet stroll or game of golf. That’s our special combination of nature and relaxation…try it.

Or take an anti-stress massage with seaweed in a talassotherapy centre and feel the therapeutic powers of salt water on your skin.

And since it’s the simple things in life that make us feel better, go on a late afternoon stroll along the beach and take a deep breath. You’ll never forget the moment.

At the end of the day, savour some Portuguese Autumn dishes accompanied by a fine glass of Port wine. You’ll discover that it has a more authentic flavour here...

To wind off your trip, of course, why not do nothing at all. Let the hours pass by on the esplanade, order a coffee and custard tart and enjoy the scenery. It’s so easy!
