Is love in the air over there? If your heart races and you get those butterflies in your stomach every time you see your better half, then there’s no doubt. And between us, that’s a reason for celebration. Better, for a romantic getaway. The destination: Portugal, that country where the sun shines for months on end, where the summer heat blends with the coziness of the months that precede it, and where the landscapes are so breathtaking that promise exciting adventures.
From north to south, and even on the islands, Portugal is like a treasure trove for couples in love. Picture yourself strolling through the narrow and charming streets of historic cities, exploring enchanted castles that have stood the test of time, experiencing unforgettable moments on serene beaches with golden sand, or indulging in unique delicacies that reveal the country’s rich gastronomy. There are experiences for every kind of romance, that’s guaranteed.
But because we know that all passionate hearts like surprises, we’ve chosen three romantic getaways that are different from all that, offering adventure, fun, and, of course, lots of love!
HAVE BREAKFAST ON TOP OF THE WORLD
If you and your loved one have an adventurous spirit, we suggest climbing one of the highest peaks on Madeira Island – Pico do Areeiro, at 1,818 meters above sea level. The journey to the top begins in the early morning, but don’t worry, you’ll always have a guide accompanying you. The idea is to arrive at the location just as the sun peeks over the horizon, illuminating the Madeiran mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. The scenery is breathtaking! The surprise doesn’t end here, amidst the clouds and after witnessing the sunrise, you’ll be served a breakfast that includes pancakes, eggs, juices, fruits, coffee, and perhaps a glass of sparkling wine. Enjoy the unforgettable view and raise a toast to life. And to love!
WINE & DINNER IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA
Seeking more relaxing experiences? There’s nothing better than indulging in a wine-therapy bath for two. With antioxidant and moisturizing effects, you’ll feel a tranquility that will lead you to a state of total relaxation. The sensation of revitalizing your body and mind will be unique! After this intimate moment, which we guarantee will be the best appetizer you’ve ever experienced, follows a dinner where you can continue to enjoy the benefits of wine, but in a different way. Savor carefully selected dishes paired with the finest wines from the Alentejo region, prolonging the relaxation and luxury experienced during the day. The atmosphere will be romantic and unforgettable for you and your beloved, we assure you.
EXPLORE THE MAJESTIC DOURO IN A CLASSIC CAR
A classic car ride through the Douro region in Portugal can be incredibly romantic. Picture yourself and your loved one cruising along its winding, narrow roads, which lead you through peaceful villages. Admire the steep slopes, blanketed with vineyards that follow the twists of the land and river. Discover charming castles and farms that beckon you to pause and gaze at the horizon, immersing yourself in the breathtaking natural scenery. Curious to explore more? The region is also famous for its wines, so don’t miss the opportunity to explore Douro’s renowned wineries, where a guided tasting awaits, adding an extra dash of romance to your adventure.
