Our Inspector's Highlights

Pine Cliffs Hotel takes full advantage of its location along Praia da Falésia, one of Portugal’s most beautiful beaches. The serene strip of sand can be accessed via a glass elevator and a long boardwalk, and it’s equipped with loungers, umbrellas, an ice cream stand and a waterfront eatery.
The Algarve hotel embraces an artsy vibe with a Portuguese influence. Vibrantly hued tilework features prominently throughout the property, from the sunshine-yellow and bright-blue-tiled Moorish courtyards to the tiles hand-painted to resemble headboards in the rooms.
An excellent kids club caters to the youngest guests. The pirate-themed Porto Pirata at Pine Cliffs takes family-friendly fun to the next level. Highlights include two life-size ship-shaped play structures, a bouncy house, mini-golf, a bungee trampoline and a family pool.
The hotel makes it easy to burn off all that pastel de nata with two gyms, dedicated golf and tennis facilities and an outdoor obstacle course circuit appropriately dubbed Bootcamp Active. If you’re craving more structure, the fitness studio offers classes in everything from boxing to Pilates.
Retreat to the 13-treatment-room Serenity – The Art of Well Being spa for a few hours of bliss. Partake in the extensive thermal facilities — which includes a hydrotherapy pool, Himalayan salt sauna and Kneipp therapy pool — before indulging in just about any treatment you desire, from hammam rituals to shiatsu massages.

The Restaurants

O Pescador’s rustic-chic surroundings and ocean views set the scene for a seafood-focused feast. Be sure to sample Algarve specialties like lagareiro-style octopus and cataplana de marisco, a savory seafood stew packed with shellfish and sweet potato.
Those who prefer turf over surf should head to Piri Piri Steakhouse for wood-fired meats paired with a well-curated selection of Portuguese wines. Start with delicacies like housemade oxtail croquettes and dry-aged steak tartare before digging into prime cuts grilled over eco-friendly organic coconut shell charcoal.
When it comes to alfresco dining, beachside Maré delivers ocean views along with its light menu of ceviche, grilled seafood and refreshing sips. At the center of the resort, Corda Café brings international comfort food, like falafel bowls and burgers. Portofino by MIMO also specializes in comfort food: wood-fired pizzas.
On the lighter side, Zest specializes in healthful fare, like kombucha, gluten-free baked goods and keto-friendly salads.
Yakuza by Olivier Algarve crafts sushi with a Mediterranean influence in a gorgeous garden. The restaurant is open seasonally.
