Family Adventures in the Algarve

Family Adventures in the Algarve Overview

Sunshine and multi-active family adventure holiday in Southern Portugal

If you are looking to get away from the busy bustle of everyday life and be enchanted by remote, wild and quiet Portugal whilst enjoying fun activities with your family and others then this is the holiday for you. We are centre-based in a charming villa in the countryside just 10km from the most southwestern tip of Portugal. The area is also part of the South West Alentejo and Vicentine coast Natural Park, which is said to be some of the finest preserved stretches of European coastline. Our hosts take us on a selection of activities over our time here. At the start of the week we kayak down the river to the sea, have a morning rock climbing, spend time on the beach and go for a bike ride. There is plenty to do in the large grounds of the accommodation with archery, table tennis, a zip line, kayaks on the lake (water-level dependent), the vegetable farm and hammocks in the shade – perfect for relaxing with a good book and perhaps a little tipple! We finish the week with an optional boat ride along the rugged peninsula to Cabo de San Vincente where we might see dolphins, and experience one of the best sunsets, and then a day surfing with full instruction.  In the evenings we eat delicious home-cooked meals using many ingredients grown in the garden, or we sit around the fire pit under the stars telling stories and chatting with a glass of wine. The exact order of play during the week is dependent on the weather and the group. Sunshine and adventure are the key words for this family holiday. A stress-free family friendly atmosphere surrounds the whole week and we will be well taken care of, fed and wined whilst relaxing and getting some exercise and fresh air. It’s a winning formula.
