Carob Tree Villa is set in delightful countryside between Vale do Lobo and Almancil, close to the golf courses and unspoilt golden beaches of Vale do Lobo, Quinta do Lago and Vilamoura. Barringtons Golf and Health Spa provides a wide range of sports facilities just a mile from the villa.
Vale do Lobo, Quinta do Lago and Vilamoura are home to many restaurants, including the Michelin starred Ermitage (2 minutes from Carob Tree Villa).
Vale do Lobo hosts a disco for younger family members on the seafront during July and August, and the Vilamoura marina hosts a range of entertainments aimed at younger visitors. There are several water parks in the area, and Zoomarine at Alcantarilha (just west of Albufeira and around 20 miles from Almancil) has dolphin, seal and sea lion shows, very popular with kids of all ages.
