A winter getaway is always a good way to celebrate the cold or escape to milder climates for a few days. Black Friday Pestana is here to help.
It may not be summer, but that’s no reason to stop travelling. Truth be told, there’s nothing like a winter getaway to break the daily routine. During the month of November, Black Friday Pestana offers advantages on Pestana Hotel Group stays until 25th November 2025, such as access to all the hotels’ facilities and services, including breakfast (in selected hotels), and an unforgettable winter break. Just imagine spending a few winter days at one of these marvelous destinations.
Madeira
How about a dip in the depths of winter? Don’t worry, we’re not referring to any icy swims during New Year, but rather something milder, like an almost tropical sea or the ideal weather for a few days in the pool. Madeira is perfect for escaping the cold without leaving Portugal. If you only have three or four days to spare, book a hotel in Madeira and soak up the island’s hospitality (combined with its climate, of course), which will make you feel how you felt on longer holidays.
Amsterdam
Northern Europe’s distinct charm is quite different in winter. Don’t be afraid of the cold, just get carried away by the fascinating cityscapes, artistic lights and, come December, the Christmas markets of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The Pestana Amsterdam Riverside guarantees you a warm and welcoming experience in two historic 19th-century buildings. You won’t even realise it’s chilly.
Serra da Estrela
Serra da Estrela is a winter and New Year’s Eve classic. The landscapes are truly breathtaking, and when the snow begins to fall, good times are guaranteed for all. The Pousada Serra da Estrela in Covilhã offers a magical fairytale setting, located in a historic building that was once a mountain sanatorium. The wonderful restoration project was designed by prize-winning architect, Eduardo Souto de Moura.
Rio de Janeiro
While it’s cold in Europe, Rio de Janeiro is still beautiful. It’s also still sunny, warm and lively at the beach. The best time to visit this mythical Brazilian city is during the European winter and, although not practical for a short break, with a week’s holiday you can enjoy the city’s buzz, swim in inviting waters and enjoy the iconic view of Copacabana beach from one of the balconies at the Pestana Rio Atlântica.
