Vilamoura Holidays - A most interesting "resort", VIlamoura is, in fact, an area rather than an actual town. Constructed around the upmarket and sophisticated Vilamoura Marina (built in the 1970's with private money), the area now encompasses approx. 20 square km. of purpose built resort for supreme Algarve holidays.
A highly successful combination of top class facilities including golf, watersports and sailing amenities, leisure outlets, landscaped gardens and public green spaces, Vilamoura was designed from the beginning to be self sufficient and, in terms of holidays to Portugal, is hard to beat. A smart yachting set fraternise the marina area and some very chic restaurants and bars cater for nights out (smartly priced as well!).
Lovely boat and catamaran trips operate from the marina and big game fishing is big fun! In general, the area is well served as a good commercial structure covers the day to day needs of a residential and tourist population.
Leisure and pleasure pursuits are paramount and all pastimes are accommodated. Nightlife is varied and fun and the choice of cuisine offered in the many restaurants veers from traditional Portuguese to international fare. Think of delicious chargrilled sardines, a big bowl of cataplana or chicken piri piri or enjoy local clams or a juicy steak - Vilamoura caters to all.
Vilamoura is truly a cosmopolitan resort with a distinct upmarket feel and, whilst it is relaxing, there are many activities and pastimes and, of course, those famous golf courses- there are 6 courses in close proximity!
