Although fairly far removed from the traditional Algarve, Vilamoura is the biggest private tourism resort in Europe and is one of the most prestigious in Portugal. The marina is the main centre of activity with a huge range of restaurants, bars and shops (including many designer shops). Luis Figo's 'Bar Sete' (bar 7) is also on the marina front. During the day, it's really a very peaceful area to stroll around, although it can get quite busy. At night it becomes livelier, with everyone coming to eat and try out some of the bars. but still it remains a very relaxed resort.
Boasting a 1,000-berth marina, Vilamoura attracts the wealthy, yachtsmen, golfers, celebrities and in fact, anyone who just fancies enjoying a rather nice place in the sun!
There is something for everyone to enjoy - there are boat trips (for those of us who don’t own a boat!), specially designed trails for walking and cycling, and restaurants and bars to suit all tastes and budgets. Probably most famous for its golf
