When thinking of Christmas and the festive season, the Algarve is not exactly the first destination that comes to mind… but not everyone is looking for a white Christmas, and many would welcome an escape from the Christmas chaos in their hometowns. The Algarve is fairly peaceful over the festive season (not quite as commercialised), however, every town seems to have events that keep the spirit very much alive.

While we wave away to summer, here in Portugal we are still fully embracing the ever sunny days of Autumn & more importantly… celebrating the September grape harvest season. Local wine tasting events and winery tours are a popular attraction to those that choose to vacation in Portugal, and if you have not yet considered it, we urge you to push this cultural experience to the top of your luxury holiday 'to-do' list … trust us, it's about more than just the wine!

As we approach a new season and look back on the majority of Summer 2022, we can be grateful for the return to normality post the global pandemic and the chance to escape and travel once more.

Although you might think that the chance of a summer getaway is coming to an end, it could not be further from the truth. Actually, a great time to book your next trip is during the months of August and September for a last minute treat - it’s certainly NOT too late to book your next summer vacation in the golden triangle.

If you are yet to book your summer holiday and in search of the dream destination, the Algarve’s golden triangle has continued to be top of many jetsetters' wishlists in 2022. The Portuguese region comprising Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, and Vilamoura have everything that you could possibly want from a luxury holiday abroad. Here are some of the reasons why it attracts so many tourists from across the globe when the summer rolls around each year.
