"A gorgeous escape set on Portugal’s southern coastline, Pinecliffs Residences, a Luxury Collection Resort boasts apartment-style accommodations, inspired dining and excellent health and wellness amenities."

Set in the Albufeira region overlooking Portugal's southern coastline is Pinecliffs Residences, a Luxury Collection Resort. Comprising 154 two-and-three bedroom apartments equipped with all the trimmings needed for an ultra-comfortable stay, this magical escape will appeal especially to families thanks to its abundance of amenities and close proximity to Porto Pirata – a.k.a. one of the largest children's villages in Europe, which is located just a short walk away from the resort.

As the resort's name would suggest, accommodations at Pine Cliffs are designed to feel residential in nature. This ethos is reflected in each of the apartments, which are located in a secluded part of the resort and are enveloped by pine trees and lush greenery. Within, the apartments feel like a combination of a country home and a beachside retreat. Interiors are set in soft neutral shades of cream and coffee with nautical-hued accents throughout. While the spaces may feel ever so slightly dated to some guests, they are nevertheless quite comfortable and thoughtfully appointed. Notably, all apartments come with private outdoor areas for enjoying the warm air and pretty views.

Portuguese cuisine is steeped in tradition, and Pine Cliffs’ dining scene is a love affair to the country’s rich and vibrant food culture. Every guest (even the pickiest eaters) is bound to find something perfectly suited to them thanks to an excellent variety of dining options. At O Pescador, guests can dine on traditional Portuguese seafood in a charming beachfront environment (this is also a lovely spot for breakfast in the mornings or a late-night cocktail). Piri Piri Steakhouse features a variety of dishes including Wagyu delicacies and traditional Portuguese specialities, and its alfresco setting beneath the pines creates an intimate and romantic ambience. The nature-inspired Zest offers a serene and refreshing atmosphere for breakfast, while the poolside Corda Cafe is perfect for a midday pick-me-up. Jardim Colonial features a traditional Portuguese setting and a different theme each day, while the experiential Yazuka blends Japanese and Mediterranean cuisines in a stunning garden setting. For a drink whenever the inclination strikes, visit Mare at Pine Cliffs or Clubhouse by the golf course.

Speaking of golf, the resort's course – which is set on the top of the cliffs of Falésia Beach – is spectacular. Play a few rounds there, or head to the resort’s state-of-the-art Health Club for a comprehensive workout indoors. There's also a fabulous indoor swimming pool in a gorgeous space, alongside an indulgent, thirteen-treatment-room spa.
