Located along the stunning coastline of Portugal’s Algarve region, Pine Cliffs is more than just a luxury getaway—it’s a also family destination like no other. From award-winning facilities to family-friendly activities, Pine Cliffs offers a fantastic blend of relaxation and adventure. Let’s take a look at why this resort is a must-visit for families…
This pretty resort sits atop the dramatic red cliffs that are iconic to the Algarve, offering fab views of the Atlantic Ocean. A private lift takes you down to Praia da Falésia, one of the region’s most beautiful beaches. This long stretch of sand and calm waters is perfect for kids to safely play, swim, and build sandcastles while parents can unwind on sun loungers.
At Pine Cliffs, comfort is key, especially for families. The resort offers a wide range of accommodations to suit all, from spacious residences to luxurious villas and suites. The residences come with fully equipped kitchens, multiple bedrooms, and large living spaces—ideal for families looking for the convenience of home, combined with the perks of a 5* resort.
For families seeking the ultimate in relaxation, many villas also come with private pools.
Kids will absolutely love Pine Cliffs’ very own children’s village, Porto Pirata. It features not one, but two life-size pirate ships, a playground, trampolines, mini-golf, and sports courts! The trained staff also organise a variety of daily activities including treasure hunts, face painting, and arts and crafts, all available for ages 5 to 13.
For teens, more grown-up activities such as water sports, tennis, and even tech-based challenges like drone racing are on offer.
Whether you’re keen to explore the resort’s extensive grounds, play a round of mini-golf, or learn to surf at the Pine Cliffs Surf School, there’s something for every member of the family. The resort’s Annabel Croft Tennis Academy offers lessons for all ages, and the Pine Cliffs Golf Course—famous for its 6th hole overlooking the cliffs—is a great way to bond over a friendly (or competitive!) game.
There are of course several swimming pools dotted around the resort, including a family pool with a shallow section for younger children and a swim-up bar in the main pool.
While the kids are entertained at Porto Pirata, parents can indulge in some well-deserved relaxation. The Serenity Spa offers a range of treatments designed to rejuvenate and refresh. Choose from soothing massages, luxurious body treatments, or take a peaceful dip in the indoor pool and unwind in the sauna.
For fitness enthusiasts, Pine Cliffs also boasts a state-of-the-art gym, yoga classes, and personal training sessions, allowing parents to stay active while enjoying their holiday.
With a variety of restaurants on-site, there’s something for even the pickiest of eaters. O Pescador offers fresh seafood with ocean views, while Piri Piri Steakhouse is perfect for hearty family dinners and other restaurants are on offer too (including Indian, Japanese and Italian). For casual bites and an easy lunch we recommend Corda Café.
Many of the restaurants offer kid-friendly menus, and the resort has plenty of high chairs and family-friendly seating areas, making dining a stress-free experience for parents.
What makes Pine Cliffs truly stand out is its versatility. It combines five-star luxury with an authentic family experience, allowing both parents and kids to enjoy their time in equal measure. The range of activities ensures there’s never a dull moment, while the attention to detail in accommodations and dining makes it a comfortable and stress-free choice for families.
