A place lulled by the soothing melody of the Algarve

The Club Med Da Balaia Resort is located thirty kilometres from Faro, on Portugal’s southern coast. The moment you arrive, feel the air hum with Fado melodies. Gaze at the two red cliffs jutting out into the Atlantic sea. To the west, the bedrooms, tennis courts and main pool form the heart of this all-inclusive Resort. To the east, the Zen pool is camouflaged by pine trees with a stunning view on the flying trapeze and the blond beach of Maria Luísa. Stimulate your taste buds at the Vasco Gourmet Lounge by trying the braised vegetables and creamy pastéis de nata tarts.

Look down at the ocean and feel your heart soar

Take in the view from the top of the red cliffs of the Algarve. Your children are on cloud nine: at Baby Club Med and Petit Club Med, they're discovering and learning a thousand and one new things. Look up: the children at Mini Club Med are getting a taste of adrenaline on the flying trapeze. In a minute, they'll be taking to their swimming pool like ducks to water. See the teenagers at Junior Club Med working on their golf swing and their backhand. The next generation of sports stars is coming!
