Azores & Lisbon, Portugal

Portugal: Natural Wonders & City Charms in the Azores & Lisbon

This unforgettable journey began on the lush island of São Miguel in the Azores, where a thoughtfully designed itinerary showcased the island’s stunning volcanic landscapes and serene natural beauty. From the twin lakes of Sete Cidades to the steaming hot springs of Furnas, every moment offered a blend of adventure and relaxation.

Guests experienced scenic hikes, thermal soaks, tea tastings at Gorreana plantation, and traditional Azorean cuisine—like cozido, a geothermal-cooked stew served fresh from the earth. The pace allowed for deep connection with the island’s natural rhythm and breathtaking views.

Next, the journey continued to Lisbon, where historic charm met contemporary elegance. The itinerary featured strolls through the Alfama district, visits to iconic landmarks like Belém Tower, and immersive cultural moments—from tram rides to rooftop cocktails overlooking the city. Culinary highlights included fresh seafood, vibrant markets, and the famous pastéis de nata.

This Portugal experience perfectly reflects the Luxe Global Escapes philosophy: unique, curated travel that blends nature, culture, and sophisticated exploration.
