How about a relaxing spa break until your next holiday?

Throughout Portugal, from the mainland to the different islands, Pestana hotels offer spas with personalised treatments and a welcoming atmosphere.

The summer holidays seem far off at the moment, whether we’re thinking of the past or the future. While you wait, why not take a few days off and stay somewhere with a spa, where you can recharge your batteries to start the new year. All over the country, there is a spa hotel that will revitalise the body and relax the mind.

At the five-star Pestana Casino Park, located in the centre of Funchal (Madeira), the architecture of the brilliant Brazilian Óscar Niemeyer provides the perfect setting for the Magic Spa, where each treatment is tailored to each client’s needs, be it a facial massage or body treatment. There’s also the chance to appreciate the beauty of the spa: the indoor pool features colours that have a calming effect, simulating an eastern public bath, with water jets, various jacuzzis and curves that help create nooks; the sauna and Turkish bath take inspiration from the island itself, with small bridges echoing a walk on the local levadas.

If the idea is to stay on mainland Portugal, the spas in Lisbon and Porto make guests feel like they’re royalty. In the capital, the Pestana Palace Lisboa has played host to some of the world’s greatest stars of this and last century, with its spa always up to their exacting standards. Set in the palace gardens, it lends the Magic Spa treatments a magical aura of nature.

At the Pestana Palácio do Freixo – Porto, the experience is just as luxurious. Here the Magic Spa by Pestana is set in exquisite 18th-century architecture, right there on the banks of the River Douro, while providing all of today’s essential services, such as face and body massages to jacuzzi, Turkish baths and an indoor pool.

The Pestana Alvor Praia is the ideal place to combine the charms of a wintry Algarve and a special stay with a top-notch spa. The hotel is situated on a cliff overlooking the sea – great views guaranteed – while the modernist building provides guests with a classic setting, mixing comfort and beauty. In the glass walled spa, you can relax in the indoor pool, gaze at the clear blue sky, marvel at the natural light, or simply enjoy a massage, Turkish bath or sauna. As the day comes to an end, take a walk through the hotel gardens or head down to the beach, where thoughts of summer are rekindled.
