Your next vacation

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.

Formula that works and great setting.

We enjoyed a great week with our family of 5. Resort is in a lovely beachside location, easy to get to and has views and access to beach. We know the ClubMed formula well - and expected regular activities, friendly atmosphere, French focus and great food. All of which are here!. Enjoyed Tom (Parisian golf coach hopefully name correct - brilliant guy and coach), Chief Marco and very helpful main bar staff! The vast majority of staff and GOs are great. Activities, golf lessons, tennis lessons and food excellent. Rooms excellent and good standards throughout.
If I could offer constructive criticism, the towels are now restricted and a bit of nuisance if they forget to leave in your room. A lady in the A La Carte restaurant’s bar not as friendly as elsewhere, and I would have liked access to more fitness classes after 11:30am.
Will definitely return. It is a good spot, nice people and a great holiday for our family.

This 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.
