Tennis holiday in the Algarve at the ROBINSON QUINTA DA RIA
Nestled in a nature reserve between two magnificent golf courses lies the ROBINSON QUINTA DA RIA , a smaller ROBINSON Club with a beautiful and spacious garden. Here you can enjoy an active tennis holiday all year round, soak up the mild Algarve climate, and simply relax on the stunning beach.
Hotel description
45 kilometers east of Faro on the beautiful Algarve coast, the ROBINSON QUINTA DA RIA is nestled within the Ria Formosa Natural Park, boasting a unique beach landscape . A bus transfer from the airport will whisk you to the resort, which open year-round . The public beach is a short walk of about a kilometer, but it's well worth the effort: the long, fine sandy beach is sure to captivate you. The offshore sandbank and the beach landscape are constantly changing with the daily ebb and flow of the tides.
The 265 rooms on the nearly 100,000 m² club grounds . It's a relatively small club where you can book double rooms, family rooms, or more exclusive suites. All rooms are modern and stylishly furnished and have a balcony or terrace – some with beautiful garden views.
A nightclub awaits all night owls and party animals - a small midnight snack is also available there to give them energy.
During the main school holidays, a variety of activities and childcare are available for kids and teens by the hour. A children's pool (not heated) is also available.
Important to know: this club is not exclusively for German-speaking guests, as they also come from Scandinavia, France, the UK, and Belgium. Therefore, some programs and courses are offered in English. This ROBINSON club is a so-called "For All" club, meaning adults are the primary focus, but children are welcome.
Tennis
Tennis travelers can expect four quartz sand tennis courts with floodlights. A tennis bar, the ROBINSON Tennis School, HEAD racket trials, free use of the tennis courts, HEAD racket rental, a weekly Play&Stay introductory offer, and a guest tournament complete the perfect tennis package for you.
Other sports activities
This ROBINSON Club boasts two 18-hole courses QUINTA DA RIA and the QUINTA DE CIMA, of which have received awards from numerous specialist magazines and golf guides. The ROBINSON Club is situated right between these two golf courses. Six more courses are easily and quickly accessible. If that isn't a golfer's paradise, what is?
Throughout the year, cyclists find everything they need at the club: high-quality mountain bikes, racing bikes, touring bikes, and e-bikes are available for rent. Then you can set off either on your own or join a guided tour through the oak and pine forests of Portugal. From leisurely bike rides to challenging full-day tours, there's something for everyone.
Otherwise, there's the sports program that ROBINSON is known for: from beach volleyball, football, water polo, table tennis and of course the WellFit program: in addition to the fitness studio (entry from 16 years) with top-notch cardio and strength equipment, you can of course also take part in all kinds of courses: Body Styling, Functional Workout, Slings Athletics, Pilates, Yoga and much more....
Wellness
The 25-meter main pool is fantastic, but unfortunately, it's not heated and is 1.40 meters deep throughout. For the winter months or cooler days, you can always swim laps in the indoor pool . If you'd rather enjoy the sea and the beach, the club's sunbathing area is about a 10-minute walk away. There's also a free shuttle service.
You can find relaxation in the spa area , either in the Finnish sauna, the bio sauna, or the steam room . Numerous cosmetic, massage, and wellness treatments will help you achieve complete relaxation. Special, seasonally themed spa packages combine various treatments and will leave you feeling like you're floating on cloud nine in wellness heaven.
Catering
You can enjoy delicious meals in two different, cozy restaurants : the main restaurant and the specialty restaurant (for a fee). You can relax in the casual atmosphere at the main bar (indoors) or at the pool bar with refreshing drinks.
ROBINSON Clubs are known for their high-quality, all-inclusive meals . You can eat and drink almost all day long – with only a few exceptions, drinks are included in the price. As the club is a "feel-good" club, you'll also be treated to special WellFood dishes and drinks – all very healthy! And every two weeks, there's the "taste JAM," where you'll be treated to burgers, music, and finger food – street food vibes included.
