Long Atlantic sandy beaches, historic towns and villages, a warm climate and really childfriendly people, that’s what to expect on a family holiday in Portugal. The most popular resort area is the Algarve region, long a favourite for British family holidaymakers. It is justly famous for beautiful beaches and many golf courses, even more than in Scotland! A holiday base here will allow you not only to really enjoy all the pleasures of a beach holiday but also to explore some of the gorgeous countryside with olive groves, vineyards and the beautiful architecture of the little towns. Most of Childfriendly’s very large selection of holiday accommodation is located in this Algarve region and range from ultra luxurious hotels or villas with pools to very affordable lodges, caravans or apartments in Holiday Parks, all with a very high standard of facilities and attractions. Medieval towns like Obidos and picturesque fishing villages such as Nazare compete with modern attractions like Amarante Water Park, Zoo Marine and the lively tourist cafes and open-air restaurants of Albuferia.  There is certainly always plenty to do and see on a family holiday in Portugal and we have some very tantalising offers for you to browse through.
