Martinhal Beach Resort

One of the great attractions of the resort is that it offers a huge range of activities for both adults and children. For restorative spa treatments, or a steam or sauna, visit the Finisterra Spa.  For a more energetic experience Club 98 is the lively, sporty meeting point for guests with its own swimming pool, bar, three tennis courts and two glass sided padel tennis courts.  The Club’s also the place where you go to book lessons for a range of land and water based sports, including mountain biking, horse riding, surfing, windsurfing, kite surfing, snorkelling and scuba diving.

The kids will love it here.  There’s a creche for the little rooms and a good zone – the Blue Room – for older children and teens to hang out and play.  Babysitting and children’s menus are available.

The resort features two distinct children’s areas. A fully staffed crèche for the wee ones and the ‘Blue Room’ for pre-teens and teens to hang out together and play a range of games from table tennis and table football to computer games on Wii’s and Play Stations.

Martinhal also has five swimming pools including a large indoor/outdoor pool.  Overlooking the beach, there’s an enormous elevated sunbathing deck, and large swimming pool, with drinks and food served all day from the poolside bar.  When you feel that it’s time for a workout, the resort has a well-equipped gym too.

In the resort’s village square, a variety of handy facilities include the village store for a great selection of high-quality deli items. There’s also a laid-back bistro on the square which is a great spot from breakfast through to late supper with good quality a la carte menus and a wood-fired pizza oven.  Other restaurants around the resort offer a range of food and wines, but head to O Terraco for gourmet dining.

If you fancy spending an evening at home with the children, just order in a movie and an Indian, Chinese or Italian take-away.  All will be delivered to your door.
