With three challenging courses on the property, it's no surprise that the Penina attracts large numbers of golfers (especially because guests get discounted green fees). Beyond the golfing lure, there's a smart hotel that caters well to families, including a kids' club and a bus that shuttles you to and from the hotel's beach. The hotel has four restaurants, a bar, and a beach snack bar.
Whether you have a room with a sea or a garden view, this cliff-top property looks good from all angles. All of the inviting rooms have balconies, many overlooking the gorgeous beach. Although it is an easy walk to the pleasant sands below, there's an elevator that can take you down, saving your tired legs after a day at the beach. For year-round indulgence, the hotel also has its own spa as well as an on-site restaurant, Almofariz, serving Algarvian specialties.
