Mar 13, 2026Revive and Relax at Finisterra Spa at Martinhal Sagres Family Beach Resort

And for the superbly serene Finisterra Spa at Martinhal Sagres Family Beach Resort, where we first discovered what a massage and facial could do for aching shoulders and faces parched from days of hiking along the sun-washed clifftops. Neither I nor my husband, Tim, had been fans of spas before that trip, but Finisterra made us believers.

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program.
