Then Martinhal are your first web search.
We stayed here a few years ago and loved it! It’s such a great concept for families and we loved how relaxing our trip was. Highly recommend!
We've stayed at two of the Martinhal properties (other two are on my holiday list!) and can 100% recommend! Firstly as a mother who appreciates a holiday with a luxe hotel, good food, excellent service and entertainment for an only child and, secondly as the Editor of Junior who looks for good design, an impeccable brand ethos and a brand that more than lives up to its reputation. When I next go to Portugal, Martinhal will be my first choice.
