Our Favorite Hotels in Portugal

Portugal is one of those countries made for slow travel: cruising the clifftops on a road trip, catching waves in the Algarve, or getting lost in the vineyards of the Douro Valley. The stays are just as special; we stayed in boutique hotels in Lisbon, surf lodges by the beach, and rustic farmhouses tucked among rolling hills. To help you decide where to stay, we’ve rounded up the best hotels in Portugal, so you can enjoy the very best of the surf, sunsets, and scenic drives.
