Family friendly
Guia is ideal for those looking for a blend of old traditional Portugal but with access to all the normal attractions they would want on holiday. Situated seven kilometres inland from Albufeira, the village is a well-known and popular place to visit.
The nearest beaches such as Praia de Gale, are just 5 km away and are considered amongst the best in the Algarve. Offering a range of watersports, facilities and beach bars a trip to the beach is as good a place to start as any.
There are also several water parks either in or just a short drive away from Guia. Within minutes of the village you will find Zoomarine. This combination of marine zoo and theme park is one of the premier attractions in the Algarve, offering a blend of shows featuring marine mammals, informative exhibits and water park attractions. With all these activities ‘under one roof’ Zoomarine is probably the most comprehensive family destination to visit from Guia.
Another interactive zoo with activities for the whole family near to Guia is KrazyWorld. Their focus is a lot more land based than Zoomarine. This fun-filled theme park stands out for the sheer amount of entertainment available there, combining a mini-zoo, petting farm, crazy golf, paintball and much more. Then there is the huge Slide & Splash water park with its large areas dedicated to safe, supervised family fun.
For a dry family friendly activity close to Guia the Parque Aventura Adventure Park offer a fantastic day out suited for family or large group excursions. Primarily a tree top adventure assault course, they also have a large Paintball battle field area the perfect venue to settle some family disputes. Also within easy distance of Guia is the dedicated paintball centre Azumit Paintball. An awesome place to tire out the kids with a stealthily healthy excursion, Azimut Paintballing is another great space to spend an afternoon or a morning with friends and family.
