Hotels with their own essence
It depends on the atmosphere you are looking for. Aveiro and Braga work well for an urban getaway; Castelo Branco and Covilhã allow you to look towards the interior of the country; Madeira adds nature and Atlantic scenery, and São João da Madeira proposes another city alternative. The Meliá selection has hotels in all six destinations.
Portugal does not have a single city that can be objectively considered the best for all couples. Aveiro, Braga, Castelo Branco, Covilhã and São João da Madeira offer different experiences, while Madeira provides an island setting. The choice depends on whether you prioritise the city, nature, wellness or a more leisurely pace.
For an urban stay you can consider Aveiro or Braga. If you prefer nature and inland scenery, Covilhã allows you to get closer to the Serra da Estrela environment, while Madeira offers an Atlantic island experience. Castelo Branco and São João da Madeira complete the selection with their own profiles and hotels with wellness spaces.
A good romantic getaway in Portugal starts by choosing the setting. For wellness, hotels such as Meliá Braga, Meliá Castelo Branco, Hotel Covilha Dona Maria Affiliated by Meliá, Meliá Madeira Mare or Meliá São João da Madeira incorporate a spa; others allow you to prioritise location and discovery of the destination.
There is no objectively better option for all couples. The current Meliá selection includes Meliá Ria, INNSiDE Braga Centro, Meliá Braga, Meliá Castelo Branco, Hotel Covilha Dona Maria Affiliated by Meliá, Meliá Madeira Mare and Meliá São João da Madeira. The right choice depends on whether you are looking for a city, spa, swimming pools, inland nature or island scenery. The romantic hotels in Portugal by Meliá allow you to build a stay for two from six different destinations: Aveiro, Braga, Castelo Branco, Covilhã, Madeira and São João da Madeira. A selection designed to adapt a honeymoon, anniversary or romantic getaway in Portugal to the setting and pace that each couple prefers.
The romantic hotels in Portugal allow you to choose very different settings without leaving the country. A couple can prioritise an urban stay in Braga, discover the estuary and character of Aveiro, get closer to the inland landscapes from Castelo Branco or Covilhã or completely change the scenery with a stay in Madeira.
The Meliá selection brings together hotels with complementary profiles. Some stand out for their central location, while others incorporate a spa, swimming pools or heated swimming pools. This variety makes it easy to adapt a hotel for a honeymoon in Portugal to each couple's way of travelling, without assuming that all romantic getaways must follow the same itinerary.
The current Meliá selection brings together seven hotels distributed across six Portuguese destinations.
| Hotel | Category | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Meliá Ria | Urban hotel | Base in Aveiro for a couple's getaway |
| INNSiDE Braga Centro | Urban hotel | Central location, swimming pool and spa |
| Meliá Braga | Urban hotel with spa | Swimming pools, heated swimming pool and spa |
| Meliá Castelo Branco | Urban hotel | Spa and inland Portugal setting |
| Hotel Covilha Dona Maria Affiliated by Meliá | City hotel | Heated swimming pool and spa |
| Meliá Madeira Mare | Island hotel | Swimming pool, spa and stay in Madeira |
| Meliá São João da Madeira | Urban hotel | Swimming pools, heated swimming pool and spa |
To choose a hotel for a couple in Portugal, it is worth looking at both the destination and the spaces that allow you to slow down during your stay.
In Braga, both INNSiDE Braga Centro and Meliá Braga incorporate a swimming pool and spa, with the added advantage of an urban profile. Meliá Castelo Branco adds wellness through its spa, while Hotel Covilha Dona Maria Affiliated by Meliá combines a spa and heated swimming pool for a getaway linked to the interior of the country.
In Madeira, Meliá Madeira Mare allows you to combine the island landscape with a swimming pool and spa. Meliá São João da Madeira also offers a combination of swimming pools, a heated swimming pool and wellness.
In the case of Meliá Ria, it is preferable to focus the choice on Aveiro and the pace of the destination rather than attributing romantic facilities not included in the graph. Gastronomy, privacy and the room category can complete the experience according to each establishment and selected stay.
Aveiro provides an urban setting linked to its estuary and allows you to use Meliá Ria as a base for a leisurely stay as a couple.
Braga combines heritage, gastronomy and city life. Here you will find INNSiDE Braga Centro and Meliá Braga, both with wellness facilities.
In Castelo Branco, Meliá Castelo Branco allows you to orient your trip towards the Portuguese interior and combine tours of the area with spa time.
Covilhã offers another inland profile and serves as a starting point to discover the Serra da Estrela environment, with Hotel Covilha Dona Maria Affiliated by Meliá as the accommodation in this selection.
Madeira completely changes the scenery with its Atlantic character and island nature. Meliá Madeira Mare is located there.
Finally, São João da Madeira proposes a different urban getaway, with Meliá São João da Madeira and its wellness spaces.
Access depends on the chosen destination. Porto Airport is a practical reference for Aveiro, Braga and São João da Madeira, while Castelo Branco and Covilhã can be approached from the main continental airports, subsequently combining the journey by road or land transport.
For Madeira, the usual air entry is Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport, on the island itself.
Portugal allows you to organise trips as a couple throughout the year, although the type of experience changes with the season. Spring and autumn are suitable for combining city and outdoor tours, while in Madeira the island climate allows you to plan a getaway with a different pace. It is always advisable to check the weather for each destination before travelling.
A romantic getaway in Portugal can take many different formats. Before choosing accommodation, it is worth deciding whether you prefer urban heritage, wellness, inland nature or an island setting.
It is also worth assessing how much time you are going to spend at the hotel versus visiting the destination.

“Hotel muito bem situado. A recepção e alguns quartos situam-se num edifício antigo muito bonito e bem conservado. A sala destinada ao pequeno almoço é relativamente pequena e por vezes atinge a lotação o que se torna um pouco desagradável. Tem piscina interior sujeita a marcação. Os quartos são funcionais e as camas confortáveis.”See hotel

“Uma experiência absolutamente excecional e inesquecível! O Meliá Madeira Mare Resort & Spa (Funchal) superou todas as nossas expectativas. Desde o momento da chegada até à hora da partida, fomos envolvidos por uma atmosfera de extrema hospitalidade. O grande segredo deste sucesso começa na liderança: o Diretor João Sanchez é um ser humano incrível, cuja proximidade e atenção fazem toda a diferença na experiência dos hóspedes. Sob a sua direção, encontramos todo um staff com uma simpatia e profissionalismo de excelência, tornando as nossas férias verdadeiramente especiais. O serviço de restauração é, sem dúvida, um dos grandes ex-líbris do hotel, com momentos que merecem um destaque muito especial: • O Pequeno-Almoço: Começar o dia assim é um privilégio. Um agradecimento muito especial ao Lenine, funcionário da sala do pequeno-almoço, que nos conquistou a todos. Com a sua simpatia contagiante e uma boa disposição incrível, ele consegue alegrar todo o ambiente logo pela manhã. • A Cozinha: Na estação quente, o Chefe Luís merece uma vénia. Que talento! Preparou-nos os melhores ovos Benedict que já comi na vida — no ponto perfeito e com um sabor divinal. • O Jantar: À noite, a experiência gastronómica continuou ao mais alto nível. O Chefe de Sala Orlando recebeu-nos com uma simpatia extraordinária e uma atenção ao detalhe soberba, garantindo um serviço de jantar requintado, mas muito acolhedor. O hotel oferece excelentes instalações, mas é o fator humano — personificado na sensibilidade do Diretor João Sanchez e na dedicação do Lenine, do Chefe Luís, do Orlando e de toda a restante equipa — que eleva o Meliá Funchal a um patamar superior. Recomendamos vivamente e voltaremos de certeza absoluta! Cinco estrelas é pouco!”See hotel
