Inspiring views and charming cities

As Europe’s oldest country, Portugal has an astounding collection of historic monuments, castles and ruins just waiting to be explored. In the North, Porto rises in tiers on the green hillsides, begging to be explored. In the south, the Algarve seduces visitors with its dramatic coastlines, family-friendly beach resorts and scenic golf courses.

Fado music, good food and port wine

Portuguese musical culture is dominated by Fado, an urban folk tradition you’ll hear echoing in streets and bars from Porto to Faro. Portuguese cuisine is full of fresh seafood, aromatic seasonings and delicious pastries.

You can experience bouts of this warm weather even during September and October in most areas of Portugal.

Portugal, a beautiful natural setting for your holiday

From one region to another, the Portuguese landscapes are distinguished by their diversity. Savour your all-inclusive stay in Portugal, where oceanic landscapes meet Mediterranean colours. In the north, head to Porto, where the impressive amphitheatres of the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, unfold before your eyes. Discover the south as you pass through its protected zones. The South-West Alentejano and Costa Vicentina Nature Park is the ideal setting for an excursion in the great outdoors. From there, travel the length of the shore to Carrapateira, a small, preserved village which has become a hotspot for surfers. The natural abundance in Portugal and the Algarve region makes it a favourite destination for golf fans who sing the praises of the Dem Pedro Golf green, just a few minutes from the Club Med Da Balaïa resort.

Discover our Da Balaia resort

While a trip to Portugal has to include the countryside and beaches of the Algarve, your first priority should be the capital. From the Jerónimos Monastery, with its Manueline architectural style, to the tower of Belém, ready to face the waves, Lisbon is full of treasures. Grandiose and rooted in legends, these marvels will send the imaginations of children and adults alike into overdrive! If you fancy discovering Lantau Island, you’ll love the “Hong Kong Getaway” tour. And while Fado music has accompanied your trip so far, these Portuguese songs will soon turn into flamenco melodies as you arrive in the Andalusian city of Seville, just 2 hours from your resort Club Med Da Balaïa.

Tudo bem!

The Algarve isn’t only known for its golf courses. The region, which enjoys a mild and sunny climate all year round (17°C average temperature in winter), also seduces its visitors with its cultural and natural heritage. Take a stroll through the back-country and the hidden picturesque villages, including Alcoutim on the banks of the Guadiana river. Further to the west, discover Lagos, a bustling seaside town. Continue your all-inclusive stay in Portugal and head for the Ria Formosa, a natural park which is unique in Europe, made up of lagoons and small beaches. Tranquillity becomes a way of life…
