30 January 2024

Imagine waking up to the gentle murmur of the ocean, a symphony of waves serenading the sunrise. Perched atop the ochre cliffs of the Algarve, this sanctuary is loved for its Moorish-inspired architecture and verdant gardens that sweep down to the soft sands of the iconic Praia da Falésia below. Here, discerning travellers will find their haven—an opulent retreat that offers a blend of relaxation, adventure, and culinary excellence. Whether you seek a tranquil spa experience, sun-kissed rounds of golf, or fine dining under the stars, Pine Cliffs Resort is a mosaic of unique moments, waiting to be lived.

Discover the art of relaxation in the Algarve

Among Pine Cliffs’ unique culinary offerings is MIMO Algarve, a lively daytime espresso bar, gourmet shop, and cooking school hosting different gastronomic experiences giving you the chance to learn new recipes, from cookies and cupcakes to plant-based dishes and brunch favourites. You can even learn how to cook the popular codfish and cataplana – a local pork and seafood stew.

By evening MIMO Algarve transforms into a chef’s table experience where you take your time savouring a special menu accompanied by wines paired with each course by the sommelier. There are also drinks workshops, including cocktail-making, as well as tastings of Algarve and port wines.

You’ll also want to check out Pine Cliff’s truly breathtaking, state-of-the-art spa, Serenity – The Art of Well Being. In its 13 treatment rooms, experience the healing powers of Eastern therapies in the Sakura room to the luxurious embrace of the Serenity Aurum Suite, where you're enveloped by the soft glow of gold leaf and the sparkle of a Swarovski chandelier. Together with a loved one, immerse in the Suite's exclusive Jacuzzi, and let the varied sensations of an experience shower and relaxation area transport you to a state of bliss. The spa continues to allure with its Serenity Thermal Oasis—a culmination of restorative experiences, including a hydrotherapy pool, salt-infused sauna air, and an ensemble of saunas, pools, and treatment rooms each uniquely designed to rejuvenate body and spirit.

The spa’s exceptional core range of treatments and therapies uses some of the world’s leading spa products while its authentic signature treatments draw inspiration from the indigenous cultures, healing traditions, and ingredients of the Algarve. Senses of the Algarve, for instance, uses sea salt and sand from Praia da Falésia for a revitalising exfoliation, followed by a nourishing body wrap and massage. After a day of wellness, take a moment to sip on homegrown lemongrass tea or enjoy delicious, nutritious, and guilt-free cuisine from the resort’s healthy restaurant Zest which specialises in fresh, organic, natural, and raw dishes.

Along with all this, as one of Europe’s leading lifestyle resorts, Pine Cliffs includes a gym and health club bathed in natural light and equipped with the latest fitness equipment from Technogym. You can also take part in a range of daily activities ranging from personal training sessions, fitness circuits, Pilates, yoga, Latin dance, and Tabata training.
