Pine Cliffs Hotel & Resort

Children have plenty of space to play outside at this resort. Porto Pirata is a large play area featuring wooden ships, bridges and plenty of entertainment. While the kids are having fun, you can head for the pool or seek out a quiet spot in the garden. As the resort is located directly above the sea, an elevator and a wooden walkway take you down to the beach at the foot of the cliffs. This makes beach days very easy to improvise. For those who want to keep active, there are tennis courts and a golf course with sea views. Wellness is also on the agenda, with a spa where you can relax after a day spent in the great outdoors.

At the resort, you can easily alternate between hearty meals and small snacks on the go. Thanks to the various restaurants dotted around the resort, you can choose a different atmosphere every day. Sometimes you'll dine overlooking the sea, sometimes surrounded by pine trees. During the day, you can order a light meal in a bar or on the terrace, which is very practical if the children can't stay still for long. Portuguese cuisine features regularly on the menu, but you'll also find more familiar dishes for young gourmands.

From the hotel complex, it's a short drive to the center of Albufeira, where you can stroll through the old streets and easily indulge in an ice cream in the main square. Vilamoura is also within easy reach, with its lively marina from which boats depart for excursions along the coast. For children, a day at one of the region's water parks is a popular outing. If you prefer nature, you can stroll along the cliffs or discover small beaches nestled between the rocks.
