Family holidays Portugal

Portugal is a country of astonishing beauty and diversity, with clear blue skies and friendly, courteous people, making family holidays to Portugal an absolutely brilliant choice.

Spend a day at one of the Algarve’s waterparks such as Aquashow. It offers a giant wave pool and numerous slides, a children’s area and bouncy castle, exotic birds and waxworks, plus much more. Aquashow even has an all-new ‘watercoaster’ – a thrilling ride that is not to be missed.

Another great outing for the entire family lies just a short ride away from Armacao de Pera, where a number of family theme parks provide a great day out. Zoomarine and Aqualand are especially good for kids, which offer dedicated shuttle buses.

Alvor offers a cultured and cosmopolitan nightlife; the bars are all in the resort itself and range from themed to traditional Portuguese bars. These lead directly to the local harbour, where a selection of alfresco restaurants that mainly offer seafood are situated. Alvor is an idyllic setting for the family as well as group travellers and is a destination of choice for the locals.

Portugal moves to its own rhythm - it's a thrillingly exciting country, where drama, beauty and warm year round sunshine combine to make it a quite irresistible family holiday destination.
