GANDUM FOR FAMILIES

Moments to Share, Memories to Keep

At Gandum, we believe that family time is precious. That's why we've created a space where everyone - from the youngest to the oldest - can feel at home, surrounded by the tranquillity of the Alentejo and experiences that unite generations.

Activities for All Ages

At Gandum, there's always something to do - or simply enjoy doing nothing together.

Natural Playground: A space for creative play in harmony with nature.
Swimming pools: Refreshing dips for the little ones and relaxation for the parents.
Film and documentary screenings: An evening movie session, perfect for the whole family.
Self-guided walks: Discover trails around the estate and share special moments in the great outdoors.
Ping Pong and Foosball: guaranteed fun for relaxing moments.

Bikes for all sizes

We offer bikes of all sizes for trips in and around Gandum. So the whole family can rent the bike that suits them best and set off to discover the surroundings.

Swimming pools for the little ones

Next to the main pool, and right next to the children's playground, there are two shallower pools suitable for the little ones to play in.

Playing safely

Gandum has external fences in all areas that separate our gardens and agroforestry from the rest of the land. It is therefore possible to play safely in the street without leaving Gandum.

Weddings that don't suck

We organize family events and weddings that don't bore anyone. The children have as much fun as the parents and when they want to go to sleep, the parents can rest assured that we'll take care of everything.

Working during the school vacations?

Parents usually have 4 weeks of vacation, and school-age children almost 20 weeks of vacation a year. So every year the same question arises: what to do with so much vacation time for the kids?

It's true that more and more people are working remotely, but everyone knows the difficulties of doing so when there's a lot of jumping around and excitement. What's more, even on vacation, you have to answer emails or attend a company meeting.

Is it possible to go far away and take the whole family? Can I organize a team event and have the family in the same place?

Yes, it's possible at Gandum.

Here we have reinvented work-life balance. Reconciling family and work and making everyone happy is a reality. Children included.

Flavors Everyone Will Love

At Gandum, we guarantee that every meal is designed to please the whole family, including the little ones.
