Vidago Palace

The North of Portugal, located about one hour away from the city of Porto, has born a Palace that gained a new life, turning up later into a luxury resort. Built in 1910 at the end of the Edwardian era, inside a wooded property of several hectares, the Vidago Palace Hotel was promptly very much appreciated by the Portuguese elite of the time, taking up shape and transforming itself into an emblematic place for a certain food and art of living certain in European culture.

In 1936, the estate added a nine-hole golf course, earning a place among Europe’s most prestigious resorts. A four-year renovation in 2010 completely revamped the palace’s spa, transforming it into a Zen-inspired, minimalist space. The golf course, rebuilt from scratch, is now championship-tournament ready, and the Grand Ballroom – once the world’s largest – has been reinvented as a captivating restaurant.
