Vilamoura is the tourist resort par excellence. The biggest private holiday development in Portugal has golf courses, a wide range of other sports facilities and an incredible marina with all sorts of facilities and entertainment. From the holidaymaker’s perspective you should know that if there’s something to do, it can be done in Vilamoura.

Nearby, the Vilamoura Casino is not quite up to Las Vegas standards, but you can try your luck on the one-armed bandits or on the more serious gaming tables. The casino restaurant features a nightly floorshow with high-kicking dancers.

Vilamoura is a delight for a gourmet. More than an hundred different options can be found around the Marina to cater for the most exigent of taste. The variety is so wide that is difficult to choose from the traditional fish, seafood and regional gastronomy with a fine Portuguese flavour to the exquisite of the “nouvelle cuisine”.
A flavours tour that goes from Portugal to China, for a romantic dinner. The hamburgueries and cafeterias are the ideal for a more frugal meal. The offer is completed by the Beach restaurants for a lovely day under the sun.

For the shopping lovers this is the ideal place. The colourful shops windows are an invitation difficult to resist. From well known international trade marks to the regional and rustic shops, one always finds the right gift for a very special person.
One may as well bring only hand luggage because it will bring back a new wardrobe, not even missing the accessories and the perfumes. For the day by day and long stays, the supermarkets and convenience stores can be quite handy.

Vilamoura is fronted by three kilometres of golden sands. The choice is wide, from quiet, secluded beaches to those frequented by the personalities, artists and sportsmen who spend the summer in the resort.
What they all have in common is unrivalled beauty and excellent water quality, as proved by the blue flags they fly.

When not enjoying the wonderful Algarve sunshine or wandering along the shore, more active visitors can stimulate their adrenaline with sports such as windsurfing, water-skiing, jet-skiing and paragliding, or just relax pedalling a pedlo, fishing or enjoying a drink in one of the many restaurants and bars along the beachfront.

To get to Vilamoura from Faro airport it will take approx 20 – 30 minutes.
