Spa, sports and a seriously smart pool scene combine at this lavish 5-star.
A good place to begin at this hotel is by the pool. Or rather, pools. This place has no less than five to lounge around, so there’s no need for early reservations. The main one is set in the middle of beautiful gardens and surrounded by trees. The second looks like something from an Indiana Jones film, with rope bridges, rocks and sparkling waterfalls. And the rest are just the ticket when it comes to simple swimming and sunbathing.

There's plenty to keep the little ones happy here, too. As well as their own splash pool, they get a playground, a tree house and a pirate ship.

Just as impressive are the three restaurants. This is à la carte dining all the way. Cilantro restaurant serves traditional Portuguese and Latin American cuisine. Aquarela’s poolside menu offers snack and al fresco meals. And at Moscada, you can enjoy breaksfast and evening meals.

The Seven Spa offers plenty in the way of massages, saunas and circuit pools, all set in a fabulous and totally tranquil Zen Garden. The sports line-up is noteworthy, too – options include tennis courts. You'll find a running track nearby too. Plus there’s an 18-hole golf course right on the doorstep.

Your guide to Vilamoura, Algarve

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

fCentred 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 six 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 cafés 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.

We have just returned from a 10 night stay at the Hilton for our Honeymoon. We couldn't fault the hotel, everything including the food, room & staff were excellent. The marina is about a 5 minute taxi drive away from the hotel and which costs... more on this review
