While the winter months are full of tradition for many people, others are looking to escape the cold and find a new type of winter wonderland. We realise that although many tend to spend Christmas in a familiar place, there is a rise in winter getaways to the Algarve.
Tourists are very specific when it comes to winter break. Having already mentioned the traditions people have, they want to find a place where they can uphold these while experiencing new activities.
That is why the Algarve is the perfect place to do this. The region offers guests a laid-back winter, with a better climate and so much for the family to do. If guests want to do Christmas a little differently for one year only, it’s time to consider the Algarve.
Family activities – fun in the winter sun
At SandyBlue, we work with our owner partners to provide key information all year round. Of course, the super peak season is all systems go, but we want to ensure steady rental income throughout the calendar year. So, we regularly put together guides to give guests all the details they will need.
Due to the cooler yet pleasant climate at this time of year, it is perfect for family walks to explore the region. In particular, there are kid-friendly walks in Loulé near the new Ombria golf course. The Ludo trail has fantastic hiking and bicycle rides, while the Pinetrees Riding Centre offers an active day of horse riding, with options for the whole family.
For family days out, tourists are spoilt for choice. Crazy Golf in Vilamoura is a great choice for entertainment, while the Aquashow offers indoor facilities. There is also Zoomarine, Lagos Zoo and go-karting to enjoy.
For those who want more relaxation, the many spas in the Golden Triangle will offer the ultimate day of wellness. If guests are looking for a fun family movie day away from the villa, MAR Shopping cinema will show movies in English.
With so much to do, it’s important to communicate this to guests. While the weather won’t reach the heights of the summer, it doesn’t mean they won’t enjoy great experiences. That is why our own marketing communications have evolved to put the Algarve in the spotlight 365 days a year!
Welcoming guests for a new winter experience
This year, the demand for winter breaks has increased. As we enter 2024, we expect extended stays to become the norm in these off-peak months, so our guest services team will be busy helping with local tips for all who need them. With so much to do and see, we can’t say we are surprised!
