Vilamoura - midway between Albufeira and Faro in Central Algarve – is considered by many to be the ultimate Algarve tourist resort combining the traditional and cosmopolitan. The emphasis here is on the outdoor life and having fun, and this has always been the intention of the planners since Vilamoura was conceived as the dream holiday destination around 40 years ago. Today, it is amongst the largest exclusive resorts in Europe, and viewed as the most complete with the centre piece being the magnificent marina area which is the focus for the many bars, restaurants, shops and super-yachts.
For relaxation the fabulous beaches are some of the best in Europe. If an active holiday in an environment as lively as it is relaxing is what you seek in the Algarve, Vilamoura just about has it all. Vilamoura boasts six world-class golf courses, a riding school; tennis, lawn bowling, shooting, sailing, diving and fishing clubs which are all book-able within the resort.
