A Foodie Escape in Comporta, Lisbon, and São Miguel

Portugal

Portugal

10 Days

Comporta -> Lisbon -> São Miguel

Begin with Comporta’s dunes and estuary tides, arriving by helicopter to a private villa and a table set by the sea. Continue to Lisbon for chef-led market cooking, a Tagus sunset cruise, and a studio session that turns meals into visual stories. Finish on São Miguel, where hot springs, crater lakes, marine life, and ancestral craft unfold at a calm, generous pace. A trip that was lovingly created for a family of foodies with adult children.

Day 1

From City to Coastline in Style

Take a private helicopter flight from Lisbon to Comporta, drifting over pine forest and Atlantic dunes. Settle into your villa with chilled aperitifs, then gather for a chef-prepared seafood dinner served on your terrace as the light fades.
