Sagres Family Resort
Family luxury beach resort. Natural timber and stone architecture blends into the Costa Vicentina landscape rather than fighting it. Design-forward without being cold. The surrounding protected natural park keeps development at bay, so the wild Atlantic feel stays intact.
Book 7 nights to unlock the best rates — the 7-for-6 deal applies in early summer and other periods.
Why It Matters
Multiple winner of Portugal's Leading Family Resort. The baby concierge service is a genuine differentiator — cots, pushchairs, bath seats, bed guards, highchairs, and monitors are waiting in your room on arrival. Opened in 2010, it was the first major luxury resort in the southwest Algarve and helped define what a family resort could be. Certified with the Greenkey eco-label.
Martinhal Sagres is a five-star family beach resort on Portugal's wild southwest tip, sitting inside a protected natural park right above Martinhal Beach. The scale genuinely surprises: 37 hotel rooms plus an entire village of houses and villas across tiered grounds, with five pools, three restaurants, a spa, and a full sports centre. It's among the best-equipped family resorts in Europe — but if you're after a sleek adults-only escape, look elsewhere.
Where You'll Stay
10 room types available
Apartments
One-bedroom apartments on the first or ground floor, with bunk beds for children. Sleeping 2 adults plus 2 children. Self-catering setup with fully equipped kitchen. The 2-bedroom Deluxe Apartment is available from €299/night (self-catering) during early summer deals.

34.6 sqmBeach Suite
The standout hotel room — clad in timber, overlooking the ocean, with loft-style double-height living spaces and the bedroom on a mezzanine level.
