Launch a rocket, dive underwater, go aloft in a hot air balloon, ski, meet a dragon on a mountaintop, zip line over the ocean… Here's a laundry list of exciting experiences, where kids can be kids and adults can indulge the child in them!
01 WHAT KIDS WANT AT SAGRES, PORTUGAL
The minuscule village of Sagres, Portugal, was once thought to be the end of the known world, for just five km away lies the most southwesterly point in Europe. Swathed in a dreamy mercurial beauty, Sagres is the kind of place that can spark a kid’s imagination. For from here, the Portuguese voyages of discovery took place.
Vasco da Gama sailed around the nearby windy, dangerous Cape St Vincent in search of a maritime route to India. And legend has it that the Nautical School of Sagres was set up nearby by Henry the Navigator who initiated and financed many of the voyages. In this hallowed spot, the Martinhal Sagres Beach Family Resort was created to make family vacations a breeze.
Enfolded in the tranquility of a nature reserve overlooking a golden sand beach edged by sun-baked cliffs, the luxe resort provides, for starters, an innovative Baby Concierge service which allows couples to pre-order (or on check-in) bottle warmers, sterilizers, cots, etc which are placed in the rooms prior to arrival.
There is a choice of heated swimming pools (including two for toddlers), a crèche helmed by child care professionals and a Kids Club with age-appropriate fun and activities. For tweens and teens, there are water sports like paddle boarding, wind surfing, dolphin watching as well as a football academy, tennis centre… enough to convert bored sulky teenagers into happy tanned vacationers!
Dining options start with Kids Menus (six-month-old infants and older are served freshly made purees, finger foods and other age-appropriate fare); the Gourmet Kids Menu is for older children and comfort food like pizzas is also available. Parents too can embark on a gastronomic odyssey at the multiple restaurants and bars while children play in the supervised Kids Corner.
Or the entire family can bond, hang loose or just wiggle their toes in the sand!
