Absolute Escape Awards 2026

Absolute Escape Awards 2026

Welcome to the ABSOLUTE ESCAPE AWARDS 2026

With every edition, Absolute Escape seeks to celebrate the most inspiring destinations and experiences across the globe — places that transcend travel itself and become memories that linger far beyond the journey.

This year marks a special milestone: the 3rd edition of the Absolute Escape Awards, and, for the very first time, the BEST ESCAPE AWARD will be decided by our readers. Your stories, your emotions, and your sense of discovery now shape the voice of this celebration of excellence.

More than a list of winners, these awards reflect what truly drives those who travel — the pursuit of authenticity, comfort, and beauty in every place we go. From a tranquil retreat in Portugal to a hidden riad in Morocco, or a rural haven in the Spanish countryside, each destination holds its own definition of escape.

This year, we invite you to become part of this global recognition.
Your vote is a tribute to those who welcome, inspire, and remind us that there are still places in the world where time slows down — the true Escapes of modern life.

Vote, share, and discover the destinations that define luxury, soul, and the art of escape.

Cast your vote for the BEST ESCAPE Award 2026!

Vote for your favourite destination via the following link – BEST ESCAPE Award 2026

Cast your vote for the MOROCCO ESCAPE Award 2026!

Vote for your favourite destination via the following link – MOROCCO ESCAPE Awards 2026

If you download the Absolute Escape App and register with the same email used to vote, your vote counts double and you are automatically entered into the draw to win a two-night stay at one of the nominated locations.

A way to celebrate those who travel with soul — and to reward those who are part of this journey.

Hotel Quinta das Lágrimas – A love that never ends

  • 🌿⚜️💧 Em 2026 celebramos os * 700 anos * da Fonte e do Canal dos Amores ~ Desde 1326 💧⚜️🌿
⛲️ A Fonte e o Canal dos Amores foram mandados construir há 700 anos pela Rainha Santa Isabel de Portugal para que levasse, livremente, a água de duas fontes nascentes nos @jardinsdaquintadaslagrimas até ao Mosteiro de Santa Clara @mosteirosantaclaraavelha , situado ali bem perto.
🍀 Visite os Jardins da Quinta das Lágrimas e venha sentir a serenidade e toda a magia em cada recanto dos Jardins, onde a Natureza eleva o Património Histórico e Vegetal deste lugar com Sete Séculos de História.

Unique experience in Northern Portugal.
Located in a privileged location with a setting of great natural beauty on a small hill, it was built from the recovery of an 18th century baroque manor house and transformed into a refined four-star Hotel Rural de Charme, fully integrated into the countryside, encompassing a magnificent property.
