Verdelago Resort

Best resort for sporty families in Europe!

We had an amazing week here, as a family of six. Beautiful place, kind staff, great breakfast and good food. Perhaps need more time to set all the details to score 10/10 as the resort is quite new and still under development (nothing that disturbed us). But all-in-all, a place to come back to.

Excellent location, surroundings, amazing resort concept. Beautiful design blended with natural elements with lots of respect for the environment. Pine woods, sand dunes, natural vegetation all beautifully preserved and integrated. The beach itself is excellent. Proper deep sand, very clean water, very flat, excellent for children. The food in both restaurants including the beach club was very high quality.

Verdelago is literally heaven on earth! We travel often and we generally stay at higher end places, so we are quite spoiled, but this resort is probably the nicest we have ever stayed at. The decor is beautiful and the natural setting is absolutely gorgeous. The beach is incredible and you can lounge on a fancy beach bed or chair, which is included. The food at the pool bar is quite good. We ate at the restaurant for dinner one evening and the food was excellent and the staff were very attentive. We were there for 4 days during the 3rd week of June, so it was not quite peak season. The resort was fairly quiet, especially for the first part of the week (which we enjoyed). It will likely get busier as time goes on since they are currently building an additional area (which is scheduled to open in 2028). This was our first trip to Portugal (and the Algarve region) and we are already planning a trip back!

Very quiet and next to the beach. Peaceful area
