About Pine Cliffs & The Algarve

Pine Cliffs Resort is situated in the Algarve which is the southernmost region of continental Portugal. It overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and covers an area of 4997km². The district has its administrative centre in Faro where both the regions International Airport and university (University of Faro). Tourism and other related activities make up the bulk of the Algarve’s summer economy. Various fruits, as well as fishing, are also vitally important for trade within The Algarve.

Pine Cliffs sit on a cliff, overlooking Falesia Beach. Falesia Beach stretches for 7km and has a cliff that begins in the Barranco das Belharucas Beach and extends to Vilamoura. Albufeira, Portugal is the closest city and is a seat and municipality in the district of Faro.

The beaches in Algarve are consistently ranked as some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Bordered by cliffs in shades of yellow, red and orange, and lapped by crystal clear water, these perfect beaches are some the best in the world.

Lagos has some of the best beaches in the world. Meia Praia is the most popular, covered in soft white sand and is the largest open bay in Europe. The bay means that the sea is relatively calm, which makes it especially suitable for various watersports and the cliffs keep the beach wind-free. Ponta da Piedade is spectacular for vastly different reasons. Boasting some of the most magnificent sandy yellow rocky outcrops, rock formations and a few caverns, it is a popular destination for boat tours.

Praia do Tunel (for the reason that there is a 20-metre tunnel next to the tourist office that connects the towns square to the beach) or Praia do Peneco more traditionally is one of two beaches in the town of Albufeira and the municipality of Albufeira, Portugal. The other beach, Praia dos Pescadores, is the eastern beach. At the western end of Praia do Tunel, you will find a promenade which ends at the mouth of a cave called Xorino Grotto.

The Algarve is a well-known wine region, and there are opportunities for wine tasting. In Albufeira, there are tours around the vineyards, and a wine tasting session included.

West along the coast from Albufeira, around a 40-minute journey either by car or train you will find Portimao. Here you will find the wonderfully sandy Praia da Rocha close to amenities. Many other beaches are quieter if that is your preference such as Praia dos Tres Irmaos from which you can also get boat rides to see the many caves and learn about the history of the area.
