REGION | WESTERN ALGARVE
Martinhal Beach Resort Sleep
Accommodation at the resort is divided between superbly appointed Ocean Houses, Bay Houses, Garden Houses and Pinewood Houses.
Play
Guest amenities include a choice of five swimming pools, sports club and the Finisterra Spa.
Tis is the region’s first 5-star destination. It’s upmarket but low key, exclusive but accessible, and almost entirely orientated towards the family.
Children love this place. It’s a playground in the park. It’s where bundles of energy can busy themselves in the Kids’ Club with a colourful array of toys and games, and where the imagination runs riot. Litle ones can draw and paint and create worlds of their own, jump into playpens or skip over beanbags, all under the watchful supervision of grown-ups.
Te face painting sessions are especially lively and filled with mirth and merriment. Indeed, the whole resort is alive with seriously happy youngsters wearing wide grins and broad smiles, and their laughter is intoxicating.
Windsurfing is big at Martinhal. Even when the wind lacks strength it’s possible to glide across the bay, and when the northerlies do pick up, the more experienced can cut across the water like a knife through buter. It’s a compelling leisure option that atracts novices and old hands alike.
Romance, too, is in the air at Martinhal. Te achingly stylish hotel woos with its fashionable interior and noted gourmet restaurant. Te views from the wood deck terrace are particularly rewarding at dusk, when the dying embers of the sun cast a lilac sheen over the darkening sky. Couples staying here can easily fall in love all over again.
For Mums and Dads though, it’s enough to know their offspring are safe and happy and head-over-heels in fun.
Eat
Te lively Os Gambozinhos is the children’s favourite, and a great place to socialise. Te wood-fired pizzas are a speciality of the house.
Renowned for its fish and seafood selection, As Dunas overlooks Martinhal Bay and is perfect for al fresco get-togethers and fruity sangria.
Hotel Martinhal

erraço restaurant
is a gourmet hotspot. Te wine cellar comprises 120 Portuguese reds, whites and rosés as well as champagnes and spumantes.
