Algarve, Portugal
This fabulous and spacious kid-friendly boutique hotel is surrounded by a stunning pine forest and located at a mere 5-minute walk from the beach. Trust us when we say that this getaway truly has all the essentials for a relaxed, but fun-filled vacay.
Step out on your balcony to enjoy the magnificent ocean views, take your kid(s) to the kid’s pool or playroom, relax on the beach or go stand-up paddling and cave-exploring. Take part in a yoga class or unwind with a massage, visit the local markets, and end your day with a choice (or two) from the versatile dinner menu that both parents and kids will love. You can’t go wrong with this one!
