Vilamoura Holidays

An Energetic Resort With Relaxing Beaches...

Vilamoura holidays are a burst of energy based around relaxing beaches and an affluent marina. This purpose built resort was very tastefully designed and built in the 1960's with a cluster of mini villages surrounding the old centre and castle. The two large sandy beaches have sun beds and shades, with bars and cafes to cater for your every need, Falesia Beach stretches for 10km with Marina beach smaller but equally as stunning. You could easily spend every waking hour lazing on the sun drenched beaches, watching the yachts glistening in the sunshine as the rest of the world passes you by.

There are however, plenty of things you would be missing out on. A boat trip will take you out into the Atlantic Ocean to spot the curious dolphins, or take a deep sea fishing excursion. Sailing schools offer lessons, or charter a yacht and explore the stunning coastline of the Algarve. Water sports are also extremely popular with jet skiing, wind surfing, parascending, diving and snorkelling all on offer with equipment available to hire locally. Aqualand Algarve is nearby offering a fantastic day out for all the family. If dry land sports are more your thing then choose from over 50 tennis courts or 4 championship golf courses. There is a riding school close by with lessons and treks through the beautiful surrounding countryside. The whole family will enjoy a game of crazy golf, or take the mini train into nearby Quarteira, with its wonderful long beach and leisurely promenade.

Check Out The Culture, Enjoy The Nightlife And Sample The Cuisine...

It's also worth checking out the culture whilst spending your holidays in Vilamoura as the town has a fascinating history - the Roman Baths can still be seen in the old centre, whilst the museum of Cerro da Vila, the old church at Almancil and the castle at Loule with its quaint weekly market are all well worth a visit.
