Jet2Villas has expanded its range with the addition of properties in the Costa Verde region of northern Portugal.
The Jet2holidays sister brand has villas across the coastal region – also known as the Minho Green Coast – for the rest of summer 2024, as well as summer 2025.
Six resorts are offered: Caminha, Paredes de Coura, Barcelos, Viana do Castelo, Ponte de Lima and Esposende (pictured).
Clients will fly to Porto airport with Jet2.com and collect a hire car, included as part of their Jet2Villas package holiday, to make their own way to their rented property.
Twice-weekly services (Thursday and Sunday) are on sale to Porto from Manchester with Jet2.com until November 17.
Next summer, flights will operate from Manchester and Birmingham airports to Porto.
Flights and city breaks will start to Porto from March 20, 2025, from Manchester, and March 27, 2025, from Birmingham.
Services will operate on Thursdays and Sundays from both bases.
Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2holidays, said: “Since launching flights and city breaks to Porto, we have experienced fantastic demand from customers wanting to book via an independent travel agent.
“Based on this appeal, we are excited to expand our presence in northern Portugal and launch holidays to the Costa Verde with Jet2Villas.
“With a range of properties on sale, independent travel agents can offer their customers plenty of choice and flexibility.
“The Costa Verde is a hidden treasure, so we are confident that this new proposition will prove popular with customers wanting to explore a stunning region combined with the sense of freedom and quality that our award-winning villa holidays provide.”
Carlos Abade, chair of VisitPortugal, added: “Congratulations to Jet2 on this expansion, as it matches the national tourist office strategy to sell beyond the main hubs, giving the opportunity to the public to get to know more places and contribute to the local and circular economy.”
