Martinhal Sagres Beach Family Resort
Sagres, Faro district, Portugal
Sagres is the wild, westernmost corner of the Algarve and Martinhal was built around families from the first brick. There's a nursery from six months, separate clubs for toddlers, little ones and explorers, and a proper teen programme with surfing and kayaking. Tennis and football academies fill the gaps, the beach is below the village square, and villas with pools mean bedtime doesn't end the evening for the grown-ups.
