A place lulled by the soothing melody of the Algarve
Nestled atop the striking red cliffs of the Algarve lies an all-inclusive family resort in Portugal, ideal for avid golfers. Club Med Da Balaia strikes a perfect balance between adult-oriented areas and kid-friendly zones, ensuring a memorable vacation for everyone. As you play a round of golf at nearby courses or unwind in our upscale eco-pool, your little ones can embark on a thrilling journey of their own, from mini-golf and flying trapeze to splashing around in the kids pool and joining in on stellar kids clubs. Later, gather together for seaside expeditions at one of Portugal's top beaches before concluding the day by dining on mouth-watering seafood dishes at our oceanfront restaurants.

Amazing service, food and views!
5/5 • 31/5/2025This is our 6th Club and our favorite one yet and we least expected it! The location is amazing and the club is mostly renovated and done very nicely. The food and bar are run so well and there is so much room that it never feels crowded in either. Now for the service…Gianni runs such a good club and shows up everywhere with a smile on his face.
Laurine, both Maxime’s, Helena and Louis were amazing…loved our daughter so much and showed the kids a great time. Not only did Louis take care of the kids but his real skill is lunch time crazy signs…the BEST!
Lucas at the zen pool had great vibes and makes the best fresh juices and is so pleasant to talk too!
Overall, new favorite Club and we can’t wait to return.

Thank you for a great
