Martinhal Quinta Family Resort
Quinta do Lago (Almancil), Faro district, Portugal
This is the quieter, villa-shaped Martinhal: townhouses and houses with their own pools tucked into Quinta do Lago, twenty minutes from Faro. Babies go to the crèche, preschoolers to Raposinhos and early schoolers to the Fox Club, so parents can take a morning on the Ria Formosa boardwalks or the golf courses next door. It's the easiest short break on this list for families with under-eights.
