Top destinations in Portugal for families
With an impressive 850 kilometres of beaches in Portugal, there’s no shortage of spots for you to put down your towel and sun yourself.
Choose the stunning sands and sea caves of the Algarve, or the secluded bays of Faja dos Pedres in Madeira. Portugal offers a huge number of options for building sandcastles and enjoying quality time as a family.
While many people visit Portugal for the beaches, there’s plenty to see and do elsewhere in the country.
Historic Lisbon is a must-see for those looking to experience what Portugal really has to offer. You’ll enjoy panoramic views after climbing to the top of the Castle of São Jorge.
Excellent local tram links through the historic parts of the city also mean you can explore without tiring out little legs.
If an all-singing, all-dancing resort holiday isn’t really your style, there are plenty of secluded spots for you to enjoy on your family holiday in Portugal. With the slower pace of the mountain villages, and the unspoiled beaches of Algarve’s Armacao De Pera, there’s a Portuguese family holiday ideally suited to your tastes.
Algarve family holidays
When people think of family holidays in Portugal, they often think of the Algarve. Famous for its unspoilt beaches, hidden lagoons, and exceptional wildlife, the Algarve offers an opportunity to truly escape and unwind.
As one of Portugal’s most popular areas for tourists, there are plenty of resorts to choose from. Whether you’re looking for fun, thrills, and excitement, or something a little quieter, the Algarve will have exactly what you’re looking for.
Madeira family holidays
The volcanic islands that make up Madeira can be found just off the coast of Morocco, making them geographically closer to Africa than Europe. This, and the extraordinary diversity the islands offer, makes Madeira a popular choice for families. Famous for its fortified wine, and home to almost 150 kilometres of stunning coastline and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, family holidays in Madeira offer a world of experiences.
Luxury family holidays in Portugal
From spa hotels in Cascais, to five star luxury in Lisbon, you can enjoy your valuable vacation time in stunning surroundings.
Luxury family holidays in Portugal don’t have to come with a luxury price tag, though. Search the options for package holidays, and check for last-minute getaways. This can help you to enjoy all the benefits without blowing your budget.
Affordable family holidays in Portugal
Jetting off to the sunny coast of Portugal doesn’t have to cost a fortune. There are plenty of options for budget-friendly family holidays here, so you can top up your tan while watching the pennies.
The most affordable way to book a holiday to Portugal is often with a package deal. These include flights and hotels and luggage for each person when booking a beach break.
For day trips and exploring the local area, public transport options are an excellent money-saving choice. With train, tram and bus links all over the country, you can explore to your heart’s content without the added cost of a hire car.
Many local tourist attractions will also offer free morning or afternoon sessions. In Porto, for example, all museums and cathedrals are free to enter between 10:00am and 1:00pm every Sunday.

It’s usually cheaper to book family holidays in Portugal outside of term time dates. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to go away during the summer for an affordable price. Keep an eye out for last-minute deals and special offers. It can also be a good idea to think about booking your holiday in advance. Some packages may be available six months to a year ahead of your preferred dates.
All inclusive options can be a great way of saving money while you’re away, with less of your budget needing to be used for food. Good news if you have hungry kids! The availability of all inclusive options for your family holiday in Portugal will depend on the hotel or holiday package, of course.
Family rooms are often a popular choice for holidays in Portugal, with many hotels offering this option. Alternatively, you could look at booking self catering accommodation. This can potentially give you more space to enjoy as a family after a long day.
