New hotels

Portugal’s mastered the art of package holidays. The Algarve’s a great example – along this southern stretch of coastline, you’ll find seaside towns that perfectly balance good times and sunny climes. Outstanding Blue Flag beaches? Tick. Family-friendly attractions? Yup. Quaint old towns? You bet. Out in the Atlantic, Madeira’s a similar story, with more emphasis on the great outdoors. Spend days dolphin-spotting, wine tasting and exploring botanical gardens.
