The word camping probably sounds quite strange at this time of year. We prefer to imagine a pine forest, needles on the ground, barely any clothes on and the smell of the sea. But these are our perceptions or experiences. You can also camp in winter, in deep snow, at Sampi Nature Camp.
Cool and chic. This is how you could describe Epic Sana Algavre, a five-star resort in Portugal. In Albufeira, next to Falesia Beach, where the green of the pine trees meets the blue of the Atlantic Ocean, we find a real oasis of peace. The resort complex is home to the unique Sayanna Wellness SPA center, which received the award for the best luxury SPA in the world in 2016. Here, we are taken to a world of well-being, surrounded by fragrances, flowers, candles and soft stones, where we can restore our sense of inner peace and get rid of stress and tension. A must visit SPA!
