QPR took advantage of their two-week break by flying to the Algarve for a warm-weather training camp.
The Premier League strugglers do not play this weekend following last month's FA Cup exit and manager Mark Hughes decided to take the squad away for a week.
The club were unable to train at their Harlington headquarters during the cold snap and spent most of last week at Loftus Road.
Hughes told the club's official website: "We're going to Portugal to get some work done because we're struggling at our training ground.
"
We have had to train at the stadium and we need to give that a break.
"It will give us the opportunity to have a couple of sessions a day and have a real understanding of what type of personalities we have and how they react to situations."
