Pine Cliffs Resort – For The Ultimate Golf & Spa Break

Pine Cliffs, a Luxury Collection Resort is a stunning property located atop dramatic red Algarvian cliffs that overlooks one of the best beaches in the region.  Only a 30-minute drive from Faro International Airport, this secluded haven and multi award-winning resort provides an alluring base for a golf and spa holiday.  

The resort offers exceptional leisure and sports facilities including a nine-hole clifftop golf course with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean; a golf academy; five tennis courts and the Annabel Croft Tennis Academy, which offers tailored tennis coaching programmes; padel tennis court; Active, a 180m2 fitness studio, plus exercise classes such as Pilates, Boxing and Cross Fitness and eight swimming pools

Designed by architect Martin Hawtree, Pine Cliffs Golf Course is built in a pinewood setting, with tree-lined fairways running parallel to the Atlantic Ocean. The jewel of this perfectly kept course is the Par 3 sixth hole, known as the ‘Devil’s Parlour’, where golfers have to hit over a ravine that requires a 197 metre carrying shot over the cliffs to a deep but narrow green.
