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.
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’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.
