Guide to Vilamoura

'Founded in Roman times, but now undeniably modern, Vilamoura is packed with all the holiday goodies you could wish for.'

Centred on a massive marina, Vilamoura is the largest, purpose-built holiday resort in the Algarve. And it's got all your holiday needs covered - from sailing and bowling to shopping and having a flutter in the casino, your wish is Vilamoura's command. There's superb golf, with no less than four 18 hole championship courses. At least 50 tennis courts. And a whole host of other ways to entertain yourself. Squash? Cycling? Horse riding? The choices are endless. Of course with the huge marina at hand, the big focus is on sailing and boating. Not to mention all the usual watersport - such as waterskiing, speed boating, and dinghy sailing. If all these activities sound far too exhausting, there's scope for more traditional holiday pleasures too. Two vast, sandy beaches stretch out from the marina, so you'll have no trouble finding a sunbathing spot. Shopping is a pleasure here, with fashionable boutiques around the marina and lots of souvenir shops around every corner. As you would expect in such a large resort, there's an abundance of restaurants to choose from. Ranging from international cuisine to more traditional Portuguese menus, you're truly spoilt for choice. If you have any energy left at the end of the day, make the most of the nightlife. Bars, clubs and late night cafes flicker into life around the harbour and all over town – so picking a favourite nightspot will be as easy as finding a sunny spot on the beach. This is the life.
