Late Deals On Summer Holidays To Portugal


With a warm and sunny climate, plenty of beautiful beaches and a friendly, welcoming environment, Portugal makes the perfect destination for a summer holiday. Its close proximity to the UK makes it a great destination for holidays, especially when you seize one of the late deals, which offer spectacular savings on airfare and lodging. Whether you crave the nonstop party atmosphere of the beaches and resorts along the Algarve, the historical sites and attractions of Porto or a quieter, more relaxed holiday in the Azores, you can find the summer holiday of your dreams in Portugal. 

The Azores

This Portuguese chain of islands in the Atlantic Ocean offers some of the best whale and dolphin watching in Europe. The island is also surprisingly affordable - many late deals feature inexpensive prices on both airfare and comfortable accommodations that feature sea or mountain views and close proximity to beautiful beaches. Although the Azores offers plenty of restaurant choices, as well as nightclubs and bars, it typically retains a quieter, more relaxed air than the more boisterous beach resorts of the Algarve. 

Porto

The Costa Verde, the coastal area around Porto, is often considered one of the most stunningly beautiful parts of Portugal and a brilliant place to come on last minute holidays. Several of the charming villages in the area have retained their seafaring way of life, which gives you an interesting look into the history of the region. Viana do Castelo is a lively resort area that is famous for its folkloric festivals. It also offers one of the biggest and most beautiful beaches in the region. The old town section of Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers plenty of historical charm, as well as a scenic river setting. Notable attractions include the Baroque Torre de Clerigos and the home of Prince Henry the Navigator. 

The Algarve

This part of Portugal is world famous for its beautiful beaches, numerous resorts and lively nightlife. During the summer months, the Portuguese beach resorts of Portimão, Lagos and Albufeira come alive with international visitors seeking sun and fun. With plentiful accommodations at a variety of price points and a virtually endless supply of water sports and other activities, the Algarve is the summer holiday destination for holidaymakers who want an action-packed holiday. 

Costa de la Luz

For a quieter summer holiday, head east from the airport at Faro to the Costa de la Luz. This region features vast expanses of uncrowded beaches and breathtaking national parks full of birds and other wildlife. Due to its less-touristed location, the resorts and villas along the Costa de la Luz are often more affordable than those in the Algarve, making it an ideal spot to stay for a while on your summer holidays. Isla Cristina, a whitewashed village located near a beautiful white sand beach, has dozens of golf resorts that will appeal to both amateur and experienced golfers.
