Nestled within Quinta do Lago, one of the most famous golf spots in Europe, the Martinhal Quinta is home to luxury villas and upscale houses, which feature a private garden with swimming pool. Contemporary in style, the interior is decorated with modern furniture, several bedrooms and a large equipped kitchen (microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator), with room service provided daily. A restaurant around the swimming pool allows you to have a snack, unless you prefer to do your shopping at the "Mercado", the hotel complex's supermarket which offers many products and take-away meals.

But one of the hallmarks of the Martinhal group, founded ten years ago by Chitra and Roman Stern, is the priority given to families. A baby concierge and a Kid's Club take care of children of all ages - who can "have fun" in the pool and on the water slide, have fun in the Blue Room (the playroom) or let off steam on the water. the trampoline - while parents tread one of the countless fairways around. The Martinhal Quinta is in fact ideally located a 15-minute drive from seven of the most beautiful golf courses in the Algarve: the North * and South Course of Quinta do Lago (5 minutes), San Lorenzo (6 min), the 27 holes from Pinheiros Altos (6 min), Laranjal (12 min) and the 36 holes of Vale do Lobo (15 min). If we add the seven Vilamoura courses, grouped together at half an hour, the Martinhal Quinta has all the assets to become the second home for addicts of the little white ball, many villas are also available for sale.

Sagres, feet in the water

Head to the southwestern tip of the Algarve now, in a region still untouched by tourism. Feet in the ocean, the Martinhal sagres is a resort made up of a wide range of luxury villas, each with between 2 and 5 bedrooms, as well as high-end apartments and a 5 * hotel. The resort has five swimming pools, the main one surrounded by an elegant wooden terrace, four bars and three restaurants serving fine Italian or local cuisine based on fish and seafood.

Here again, children will not be bored for a second with the Kid's Club and all the activities on offer, including many water sports, padel or even pumptrack, a very playful bike course on bumpy terrain. Speaking of courses, golfers can indulge in their favorite pastime with the 18 holes of Santo Antonio, a quarter of an hour's drive away, as well as those of Boavista and Espiche, just half an hour away. Before relaxing at the hotel's Finisterra Spa and enjoying, why not, a delicious four-handed abhyanga massage. Let us recall in conclusion that with 300 days of sunshine per year, the Algarve enjoys one of the best climates in Europe and does not experience winter. Roll on deconfinement!
