We are thrilled to announce that The Healthy Holiday Company is now the official booking partner for the Annabel Croft Tennis Academy at the beautiful Pine Cliffs Resort. Perched atop the iconic red sandstone cliffs of the Algarve, Pine Cliffs is one of our favourites destinations for an active holiday, without compromising on beautiful surrounds.
Whether you are looking to sharpen your technical game or introduce your children to a lifelong passion, we can ensure your tennis itinerary is as seamless as your stay.
The Academy is built on Annabel’s signature “Movement & Repetition” philosophy, a method designed to automate footwork and shot selection through high-volume hitting. This is a programme of constant motion across three specific court zones, ensuring no one is ever found standing in a line. You will hone your game on five immaculate courts, including two premium red clay courts and three green-set hard courts.
Padel is a central pillar of the Pine Cliffs experience and a sport we know our community loves. The academy features four dedicated padel courts, making it one of the premier destinations for the game in the Algarve. From intensive weekend retreats for seasoned players to introductory sessions for families, the coaching here is specialised and high-energy. With the social “après-padel” culture thriving at the resort, it is the perfect way to combine a serious workout with the relaxed rhythm of the Portuguese coast.
Pine Cliffs is arguably Europe’s most family-focused luxury resort, and the junior programmes here are second to none. By aligning the junior timetable with adult sessions the whole family can improve together. Younger players join the Mini Slam pathway to build coordination through legendary challenges, while older children engage in Junior Slam camps focused on match-play strategy. It is the ultimate family dynamic: high-intensity mornings on court followed by afternoons at the Porto Pirata kids’ village or the beach.
We ensure you are perfectly positioned to enjoy restorative recovery at the award-winning Serenity Spa, which features targeted treatments designed to soothe tired muscles. Your performance is further supported by a choice of eleven restaurants, from the fresh Atlantic catch at O Pescador to the healthy Mediterranean flavours at O Grill. Beyond the courts, you can test your nerves on the “Devil’s Parlour” at the Pine Cliffs golf course or explore the stunning cliffside running trails.
With the 2026 season now in full swing, the courts at Pine Cliffs are filling up fast for the popular May half-term and October breaks. We are also now open for early-bird 2027 enquiries for those who prefer to secure their place in the Algarve sunshine well in advance.
Whether you are travelling solo for an intensive week of drills or bringing the whole family for a multi-sport escape, let us handle the logistics so you can focus entirely on your game.
