Why the Algarve is the perfect choice for multi-generational holidays

Planning a holiday that brings together grandparents, parents and kids can seem like a tall order, but at SandyBlue, we make it effortless and unforgettable. A villa holiday in the Algarve offers something for everyone, and with our collection of stunning properties, the hardest decision you’ll face is which villa to choose! Let’s dive into how our villas and the Algarve can create the perfect getaway for your multi-generational family.

Larger Villas: Privacy when you need it, togetherness when you want it

Multi-generational holidays work best when everyone has the space to unwind. Our larger villas are designed with this in mind.

Private Spaces: Grandparents can enjoy a serene cup of coffee on a private terrace while the kids sleep in. Parents can sneak in a quiet swim in the villa’s private pool before the day begins.

Fun Communal Areas: The family can gather in the spacious living rooms, dine together under the stars in the alfresco dining areas or bond over a movie night in a private cinema room. Some villas even feature games rooms, ideal for family tournaments!

Amazing Amenities: Think heated pools, hot tubs and outdoor kitchens. Our villas are equipped to make family moments special while ensuring there’s always room to retreat for some peace.

Child-Friendly Villas: The kids will thank you!

We know happy kids mean happy parents and grandparents, so we’ve curated a selection of child-friendly villas perfect for little ones.

Kid-Friendly Features: From shallow pool areas and secure gardens to bunk beds and playrooms, these villas are designed with children in mind.

Entertainment Galore: Many villas come with table tennis, board games and even dedicated kids’ zones. No “I’m bored!” complaints here!

Babysitting Services: Need an evening off to enjoy a date night or a quiet catch-up with grandparents? We can arrange trusted babysitters to keep the little ones entertained. Check out our top childcare recommendation!

Local activities for all ages

The Algarve is packed with activities that will delight every member of the family.

For Grandparents: Explore the charming cobblestone streets of local villages, visit historical landmarks like Silves Castle or indulge in a wine tasting session.

For Parents: Adventure-seekers will love kayaking through sea caves, hiking along the cliffs or teeing off at world-class golf courses.

For Kids: Zoomarine and Slide & Splash waterparks are always a hit! Or why not go on a dolphin-spotting boat tour?

Family Time: Take a leisurely stroll on golden beaches, visit the Algarve’s famous markets, or have a picnic in one of the many scenic parks.

A taste of the Algarve: Cooking together

Food brings families together, and our villas with fully equipped kitchens make it easy to whip up a feast.

Cooking Classes/Private Chef: Arrange a private cooking class at the villa and learn to make traditional Algarve dishes like cataplana or pastel de nata. You can also organise a private chef if you'd rather kick back and let the professionals do their thing!

BBQ Nights: Fire up the villa’s BBQ and enjoy an alfresco dinner with the whole family.

Grocery Delivery: Don’t want to spend time shopping? Arrange your groceries, so you have everything you need on arrival.
