Sun, sea, and saudade: find your perfect Portuguese stay

Sample the simple life [View in browser]( [Image](   [HOTELS]( [INSPIRATION]( [OFFERS]( With its wild coastlines, quiet countryside and wallet-friendly cities, there's a strong argument for making Portugal your next port of call. And you can't go wrong with Octant hotels. Except for a common thread of easy and informal luxury, there’s no homogeneity here – the group's eight boutique havens are each immersed in local culture, whether that’s the live-off-the-land foodie haven of Alentejo, the Port-soaked Douro Valley, or the seafaring Algarve.

There are light-filled lounge spaces, an all-day restaurant, a pool and a spa – days are filled by meditation or yoga, sociable tapas suppers, and enjoying glasses of vinho tinto outdoors beside the fire. Further afield, world-class waves are only minutes away. [VIEW HOTEL]( [Alternate text]( LISBON HOTEL HOTEL There'll be no so-so stays at Hotel Hotel, a hip and arty abode which sits right off Lisbon's main shopping street, Avenida da Liberdade. And though you're surrounded by the city's best cafes and eateries, you'll want to prowl to Animal, the hotel's leafy courtyard restaurant, at least once – expect to rub shoulders with Lisbon's creative types over signature cocktails and superb sushi. [VIEW HOTEL]( [Alternate text]( PORTO VINHA BOUTIQUE HOTEL This hot-pink palazzo – a converted 16th-century manor house – has bucketloads of style and all the tranquility of the countryside, even though it's just 10 minutes away from Porto. Try the modern Portuguese fare in the two-Michelin-starred restaurant, soak up the sun from the lawnside pool or get pampered the Parisian way at the Sisley spa. [VIEW HOTEL]( [Alternate text]( ALENTEJO SAO LOURENCO DO BARROCAL This storied estate in Alentejo has been in the same family for over 200 years. Spanning 780 hectares, you'll wish you had months rather than days to spend lounging by the swimming pool set in a fragrant meadow, riding the horses in the on-site stables, or indulging in hydrotherapy treatments in the Susanne Kaufman spa. [VIEW HOTEL]( COMPORTA SUBLIME COMPORTA Peaceful and pine-studded, Sublime Comporta makes good on the promise of its name. Bed down in the main building or the Scandi-style cabanas, which have forest views. The diversions include a tree-ringed pool, a spa, and three restaurants. Plus, you're 15 minutes from Carvalhal Beach, often named Portugal's best. [VIEW HOTEL](   ONE VINE STAY A GRAPE ESCAPE IN THE DOURO VALLEY The husband-and-wife team behind Kent-based winery Simpson's Estate check in to Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo, a Douro Valley vineyard. Bit of a busman's holiday? Not with Porto tonics on the terrace at sunset, boat trips down the river, and a swimming pool with the most famous view in Portugal.
