The perfect family holiday from tots to teens

Sitting high and mighty on the pastel-red cliffs of the Algarve is where you’ll find Club Med Da Balaia, a resort with its own 18-hole golf course for those plagued with PGA fever and a relaxing adults-only eco pool for parents to catch a break whilst the tots and teens make the very most of their time in the sun.

Sample a taste of Lusitania with a 1 or 2 week holiday at Da Balaia, whether it’s metaphorically by taking a stroll down one of Europe’s most beautiful beaches or literally with the gourmet cuisine available on-site inspired by local flavours.

Bars

The main bar at Da Balaia is the Vasco Gourmet Bar, where you can find a wide selection of hot and cold drinks plus a stock of premium spirits and other alcoholic refreshments. This bar is where the atmosphere of the daytime comes at night, with staff remaining on duty til’ the early hours. The poolside swimming pool is aptly named The Falesia (homage to the red cliffs of the Algarve) and serves fancy cocktails and fizz as well as soft drinks for the t-total club and tots. For guests who prefer a more reserved atmosphere may want to cool off by the ‘adult-only’ quiet pool bar.

As far as wine regions go, Portugal is amongst the top ranks, and you can sip on the finest of Portuguese Vino at the Vasco Gourmet Bar Wine Cellar – a tasting space where the parents and grandparents can travel the wine regions of the world by a swig of a glass. Looking to show off your best dad dance moves? The O’Teatro bar is the perfect place to dance and drink you’re way into the early hours of the morning with friends.
