Five star fun for every generation

23rd June 2025 By David Pike

It’s fair to say that visitors to the award winning Pine Cliffs Resort in Portugal are spoilt for choice when planning their holiday diaries.

Sharing a stretch of stunning coastline on the Algarve, Pine Cliffs has become a popular choice for families with the sat-nav set for extra-special.

There’s a wide range of family activities on offer including a kids’ club, the launch of an Adventure Park and a strong emphasis on sport and activity programmes. 

A Summer Football Camp in partnership with Estima Sports offers youngsters the chance to train with former Manchester United football legends…John O’Shea, Louis Saha and Dimitar Berbatov.

Adventure Park
The excitement continues with the launch of the brand-new Adventure Park, designed to keep children active and entertained. Highlights include a 90-metre slide, tree climbing, a rock wall and a climbing net. 

Annabel Croft Tennis & Padel Academy
The tennis and padel academy feature’s eight floodlit courts – two clay and two hard tennis courts, as well as 4 new padel courts, providing an idyllic setting for players of all levels. Whether a seasoned competitor or enthusiastic beginner, guests can choose from private coaching, group sessions, or immersive week-long or weekend camps.

During July and August, guests can embark on a scenic boat tour to the iconic Benagil Caves, offered in partnership with AlgarExperience. 

Departing from the resort’s beach every Tuesday from 8th July and lasting 4.5 hours, guests can choose from a 9.00am or 3.00pm departure. Trips include a gourmet onboard meal with Moët & Chandon, codfish cakes, truffle with cheese and Algarve fruit and a charcuterie platter. 

Kids Club
For younger guests, the Porto Pirata kids club is a dedicated village for children aged 12 months to 8 years, completed with two life-sized pirate ships, mini golf, bouncy castles and daily supervised fun.

And for the grown-ups…Pine Cliffs offers a nine-hole golf course, eight swimming pools, 15 diverse restaurants and bars and an award-winning spa.For more information visit: www.pinecliffs.com or call +351 289 500 100.
