The trapezoid infinity pool of Quinta do Crasto is cut high up into the Douro hillside, overlooking the river. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Eduardo Souto de Moura, its swimmers get to enjoy views of this UNESCO World Heritage region and its famously sloped vineyards from a height of 600 metres, followed by wine and tapas on its terrace.

“Altitude is more than height. It is energy,” claims Bodega Colomé, home to one of the highest vineyards in the world. Situated in Salta’s spectacular Calchaquí Valley in northwest Argentina, this mountain estate creates unique wines to match utterly unique experiences. It’s a heavenly hideaway offering an escape from the rest of the world.
