Stay Hacks for Portugal

Portugal offers a blend of rich history, stunning coastlines, and vibrant culture that extends to its hospitality. Here are some valuable tips to enhance your stay.

Fast Fact: Did you know? About 75% of Algarve hotels are located within a 15-minute walk of the beach - like Pestana Alvor Praia Premium Beach & Golf Resort, which boasts stunning ocean views.

Local Hack: In Portugal, don't hesitate to ask for a 'meia-desfeita' at breakfast, as many hotels will happily half-prepare toast or pastries for you, allowing you to sample a variety.

Hidden Gem: The calm Praia da Marinha, just 12 minutes from popular areas like Lagos, is often less crowded and famed for its breathtaking cliffs and crystal-clear waters.

Smart Tip: Booking during the off-peak season can yield savings of up to 50% on hotel rates, especially in areas like the Algarve, where summer crowds can drastically inflate prices.
