Map & location
Albufeira, Algarve, Portugal
Pine Cliffs Resort Townhouses occupy a prime clifftop position above Praia da Falésia, one of the Algarve’s longest and most photogenic beaches, fringed by deep-red sandstone cliffs and pine forest.
You’re tucked in a peaceful pocket between Albufeira and Vilamoura, with both resort centres around 8km away for marina strolls, shopping and nights out. Within 800m you’ll find a handful of local shops, bars and restaurants, while the resort’s shuttle bus makes it easy to move between the golf course, beach area and main hotel facilities without breaking a sweat.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Water babies are spoilt for choice here. Across the resort you’ll find eight outdoor freshwater pools, many with children’s sections, plus a dedicated kids’ pool and plenty of loungers and parasols. Complimentary pool towels are included, and facilities can vary by pool area.
There’s also an indoor heated pool, handy for cooler days or off-season dips.
Down at the beachfront, a summer beach concession (typically July–August, weather dependent) offers sunbeds, and you can book water sports such as kayaking, pedalos, snorkelling and selected motorised options, usually run by an external company with a minimum age of around 6 years.
Do note that children under 12 must be supervised by an adult at all pools.
Spa, sports & wellness
Golfers are drawn to the on-site Pine Cliffs Golf Course, a scenic 9-hole layout with clifftop holes and a clubhouse. There’s also a golf academy for those looking to sharpen their swing (advance reservations and local charges apply).
Fitness fans have access to air-conditioned gyms with cardio kit, free weights, stretching zones and studios, plus sauna and steam room for wind-down time (minimum age 16; hours and specific equipment can vary by season). Expect an activity menu including basketball, mini-golf, tennis, football, volleyball, table tennis, pilates and yoga, plus bike, e-bike, scooter and Segway hire.
A standout extra is the MIMO Algarve Cooking School, where adults and children (from around 5 years+) can join Portuguese cookery classes and tastings (local charges apply).
For downtime, the Serenity Spa – The Art of Well Being adds sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a long list of massages and beauty treatments, alongside an on-site hairdresser (generally 16+ for spa access, open to the public, charges apply).
Boutiques, a wine shop, florist and jewellery shop add a resort-village feel, while concierge services, currency exchange and luggage storage keep everything practical.

Sample venues include:

• O Grill – poolside spot for breakfast (seasonal), lunch, snacks and relaxed dinners, with a mix of buffet and à la carte.
• Maré at Pine Cliffs – beach club and restaurant right by the sand (seasonal), ideal for fresh fish and laid-back lunches or dinners.
• Corda Café – easygoing café for Portuguese dishes at lunch, dinner and snack time.
• Clubhouse – next to the golf course, perfect for casual meals and drinks before or after a round.
• Piri Piri Steakhouse – Portuguese-inspired grill focused on quality cuts and piri piri specialities.
• O Pescador – seafood-led dining with a local flavour.
• Yakuza Algarve – chic Japanese restaurant with show-cooking (high season only).
• Zest – Mind, Body & Soul – lighter all-day dishes, juices and healthy choices.
For drinks, take your pick from the Mirador Champagne Bar – a clifftop garden terrace made for sunsets – or the elegant Portulano Lobby Bar for cocktails and digestifs.
