Vilamoura is situated 20 minutes from Faro Airport in the central area of the Algarve. The large marina area of Vilamoura is widely recognised as the central hub of activity for the town. There is a fantastic choice of restaurants and bars around the marina itself and in the back streets of this bustling location. Virtually every taste is catered for with a vast selection of local and international cuisine. Daytime entertainment is unsurprisingly centred around the water activities such as sightseeing tours, fishing tours, luxury cruising trips and water sports. There are great beach restaurants to the west and east of the marina entrance too. However, it is at night when the Vilamoura experience really comes alive, with great bars, a casino and music venues boasting fabulous views overlooking the marina and its huge selection of boats.
There are six fabulous golf courses in Vilamoura (when we include Vila Sol), allowing for accommodations with golf views across the lush green fairways, which twist in and out of the famous Algarve pine trees. The Laguna, Pinhal and Millenium golf courses all offer attractive views and differing challenges for the resort golfer. The Old Course, The Victoria and the Vila Sol golf courses provide a sterner test for the everyday golfer with exceptional designs and sloping greens. The Portugal Masters European Tour event is held at the Victoria course and attracts some of the world’s very best golfers every year. Vilamoura is not only a huge attraction for tourists and many golfers but also for horse enthusiasts at the Equestrian Centre. This all-year-round resort has many attractions to suit every need and has therefore become one of the most desirable areas to purchase a home along the Algarve coast.
