An introduction to Hotel Vila Gale Marina

Getting to the beach here isn't a problem. At just 300 metres from your doorstep, it's less then a five minute walk away. And it's not only palm-fringed shores that put in an appearance here. Closer to home you've got Vilamoura centre with its elegant marina, outdoor eateries and atmospheric bars. So you really do get the best of both worlds at Hotel Vila Gale Marina.

But there's more to this place than its location - the superb setting comes with a side order of relaxation. The tropical palms and lagoon-style pool instantly switch you to holiday mode. Spend days under the shade of a sunny yellow parasol, flanked by swishing trees, colourful flowers and an al fresco bar. There's even an outdoor whirlpool bath here – perfect for bubbling the stress of modern life away.

It's not all snails' paced stuff though. There's a tennis club and putting green at the sister hotel, Vila Gale Ampalius. And these come complete with a tennis instructor and golf pro to give you top tips. Golf enthusiasts don't have to travel too far for a challenging round either. The hotel runs a free shuttle service to Vilamoura golf course is about a ten minute drive away.

When it comes to mealtimes, the cuisine's as impressive as the rest of the hotel. Hearty buffet breakfasts kick the day off. And when it comes to lunch and dinner, sit back and relax on the al fresco terrace as you're waited on. There's also an a la carte menu for when you really want to push the boat out.
