Superb 5 star family-friendly resort set above one of Portugal's prettiest and most secluded sandy beaches on the Algarve coast. Set in 50 acres of beautiful sub-tropical gardens and justly famous for its excellent restaurants (including the 2 Michelin star Ocean Restaurant), indulgent spa, kids' club and numerous land and water sports. Vila Vita Parc is a top contender for a fabulous family holiday. 

Sophisticated and luxurious family beach resort set in a national park, close to the village of Sagres and numerous sandy beaches, on the western end of the Algarve. Offering a superb selection of stylish, contemporary accommodation in the Hotel, plus one to three bedroom townhouses in the Village, and several sleek 2 to 5 bedroom Luxury Villas. Martinhal Beach Resort is a superb family holiday option.

Surrounded by pine trees and overlooking a stunning 4 mile long sandy beach, Pine Cliffs has lots of activities to keep everyone, whatever their age, happy and entertained. For families, we recommend the 2, 3 and 4 bedroom residences and townhouses which come with a living room, kitchenette, utility room and a balcony or terrace. Pine Cliffs Resort has a highly regarded kids' club with numerous supervised activities, an Annabel Croft Tennis Academy, 9 hole golf course, an outstanding spa, half a dozen restaurants, a selection of water sports on the beach, and several swimming pools.

With its dramatic cliff top position overlooking a vast sandy beach and stylish contemporary décor (echoes of South Beach, Miami), Epic Sana has luxury accommodation, extensive facilities (including an amazing spa) and offers a choice of family activities and facilities.

Just an hour south of Lisbon, Comporta is still a relatively unknown destination and remains deliciously wild and unspoilt. Sublime Comporta (as heavenly as its name suggests) is set amid a pine forest just moments from some of Portugal's best beaches. And 'wow', what beaches! Ideal for families with older children.

Palacio Estoril is a grand but informal 1930's hotel on the Portuguese Riviera, a couple of miles from Cascais and in easy striking distance of Lisbon. This is a great value option for families with older children, particularly if you want to combine exploring with relaxing by an expansive swimming pool and be in strolling distance of a beach. Have a look at Palacio Estoril 

We have numerous fabulous villas dotted around Portugal, including the Algarve (such as super-lux 5 bedroom Villa Balbina with direct access to a semi-private beach, contemporary 4 bedroom Villa Martinhal and rustic 3 bedroom Beach Cottage), Douro Valley and the Silver Coast. Our villas range from simple to sublimely luxurious and range in size from 2 to 10 bedrooms, all with private pools.
