In the heart of Western Europe, Portugal has become a magnet for celebrities seeking a unique blend of culture, history, and modern luxury. Recently, a host of notable figures have chosen Portugal as their destination for work, residence, or leisure, joining the ranks of SZA and Michael Jordan who have graced the country with their presence.
On July 27th, SZA took centre stage at the Restelo Stadium in Lisbon, performing alongside Kendrick Lamar as part of the Grand National Tour. The following day, she was spotted in the charming coastal town of Cascais, near the Amoreiras Shopping Center and the Condes de Castro Guimarães Museum. One of the photos she shared on Instagram showed her relaxing at the 4-star Estalagem Muchaxo hotel, located in Guincho.
SZA was not alone in her Portuguese adventure. On the same day, fellow artist Shavo Odadjian of System of a Down performed in Portugal and was later seen strolling around the capital. Meanwhile, Michael Jordan visited the north of Portugal and Lisbon in June, balancing work commitments with leisurely exploration.
Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban are the latest high-profile celebrities to show interest in Portugal.

Madonna is also mentioned as a semi-permanent resident of Portugal, with her son playing in Benfica’s academy.
The list doesn't end there. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are rumoured to own a residence in Portugal, while figures like Ricky Martin, Michael Fassbender, Monica Bellucci, Christian Louboutin, and Eric Cantona have been associated with Portugal in recent years.
