The Pine Cliffs experience
There’s a reason why Pine Cliffs has been garlanded with multiple awards for its family facilities. Younger guests will enjoy the Porto Pirata Kid’s Club – a children’s village for babies and kids' from six months to eight years-old, with two enchanting life-like wooden pirate ships. Seasonal activities on offer include 18-hole minigolf, basketball, football, tennis, face painting, arts and crafts, treasure hunts, water games in the dedicated kids’ pool and a bouncy castle.
Children aged 8 to 13 will have a blast at the Junior Club with a whole host of activities specially tailored for them. The main attraction is the 7-a-side football pitch. In partnership with Estima Sports there is an outdoor football academy too, providing daily classes with a different focus each day. Other activities include crossbow and aim shooting, water ball, darts, disc bowls and a variety of other fun options.
All such activities are supervised by experienced, well-qualified staff who are sure to make your children’s faces beam with delight.
The resort’s close proximity to Falesia Beach, rated by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the top three most beautiful beaches in Portugal and Spain, is a definite boon. The beach is accessed by a scenic walkway and panoramic elevator leading to a private area reserved for resort guests. Falesia Beach offers five miles of golden sands, clean seawater and distinctive orange clay cliffs. Despite its popularity and location in a touristy area the beach is surprisingly underdeveloped and pristine, thanks to the cliffs and nature park that fringe the clifftops. A five-minute stroll will take you to near-deserted stretch of sands and the conditions can be ideal for surfing also. Head to the central section of the beach Acoitias for the prime stretch of sands or try Praia dos Tomates for more privacy and water sports.
One of the resort’s key attractions is the Serenity Spa – The Art of wellbeing. An unsurpassed 1,000m2 haven, offering treatments and holistic therapies inspired by indigenous methods. Discover the art of wellbeing by the sea and surrender yourself to total relaxation with a range of special treatments and experiences. Dive into the thermal oasis and treat yourself to a range of treatments such as a herbal sauna, ice fountain, hydrotherapy pool, Kneipp pool, and sauna with Himalayan rock salt. Serenity is also the first spa in Portugal to offer innovative range of CBD treatments.
Pine Cliffs offers two ACTIVE Health Clubs, one in the hotel, the other in Pine Cliffs Residences, open during high season only. Both are equipped with the latest Technogym equipment, including treadmills and elliptical machines, and water aerobics and a personal trainer are available. The two gyms have a sauna and steam room, and the one at the hotel has also a Jacuzzi and indoor swimming pool. These are complemented by the ACTIVE Studio for Pilates and a military style bootcamp taking place amid the surrounding nature outside the studio.
The acclaimed nine-hole Pine Cliffs Golf Course is perched on a cliff and surrounded by stunning ancient pines. This demands a precise level of skill – particularly at the renowned 'Devil’s Parlour,' a challenging par-three that crosses a ravine and offers breathtaking vistas of the Atlantic coastline.
The Golf Academy is staffed by a team of internationally qualified PGA professionals who bring over 20 years of combined experience supporting golfers of all levels—from beginners to seasoned pros.
