Detailed Description

Follow the sunshine to beautiful beaches that overflow with incredible flora during your 8-day itinerary to Spain and Portugal that will bring you to Mallorca and the Azores Islands. Your spectacular island retreat will begin with your arrival at Palma de Mallorca Airport. Your private transfer will greet you and escort you to your luxurious resort-style accommodation that overlooks the stunning shoreline. You will be near the opulent town of Puerto Portals, known for its high-end boutique shops and lavish yachts that fill the marina. The remainder of the day will be at your leisure to stroll through town or bask in the comforts and poolside charm of your hotel.

The next day, your guide will lead you on a private tour of Palma, the capital of Mallorca. Traverse the medieval lanes of the city and then enter into the cathedral. You can also visit the walls of the looming castle above the town and the nearby art museum dedicated to the Catalan artist Joan Miro. Wake the next day to board your luxury catamaran for a half-day cruise around the cliffs, beaches, and grottos of Mallorca. Swim, snorkel and enjoy the stunning cuisine cooked on the boat by the crew that has been tailored to your tastes and the ingredients of the island. Explore the mountains and valleys around Mallorca the next day and search for the lavish monasteries found around Lluc and Valldemossa as each offers a unique sense of historical grandeur surrounded by nature’s splendor.

The next day, your private transfer will escort you to the airport for your flight to Horta, located on Faial Island. The Azores Islands have been under the reign of Portugal since the 15th century, and since then has blended the exotic ambiance with Portuguese culture. Your private transfer will meet you upon your arrival at Horta Airport before escorting you to a luxurious hotel that overlooks the indigo hues of the Atlantic Ocean. The remainder of the day will be yours to relax at the hotel, stroll along the trails, or wander through Horta for insight into the serene ambiance of island life.

The following day, you will traverse Faial Island with your guide to visit the caldera and lunar landscape of Capelinhos Volcano. Continue to the marina for a whale-watching cruise in search of breaching whales, and then take the ferry to Pico Island the next day for a full day traversing the dramatic volcanic peaks and crater lakes. Visit a vineyard that utilizes the volcanic soil to produce captivating wines before returning to Faial. Conclude as your private transfer will greet you at your hotel and escort you to Horta Airport for your flight home.
