Vilamoura Algarve Portugal

Europe's largest, most complete and diversified tourist resort has turned into a unique spot to live in or spend glorious holidays.
The dream began about 40 years ago and has never stopped - those early ideas and blueprints have turned into today's reality. A unique destination in the national and international tourist scene, Vilamoura is the answer for those searching for a special place.

Its temperate climate and beautiful landscape are combined with sustained and sustainable development. Vilamoura grew but has nevertheless maintained its environmental heritage. Quality reigns in the resort and is followed religiously in all aspects: infrastructures, landscaping, roads, hotel units, housing complexes, sports and leisure facilities. This harmonious development is Vilamoura's brand image at the start of this new millennium.
Whether at the splendorous marina, the prestigious golf courses or the colourful and diversified shopping area, Vilamoura has everything you could ask for, including tranquility and good taste.
Around here the days melt into a sequence of memorable moments: on a yacht, a golf course, a walk along the beach or the excitement of radical sports. The lively nightlife is the perfect way to end a day lived well and intensely. An outdoor café overlooking the marina is the ideal moment to propose a toast to the best that life has to offer: Vilamoura, naturally.
Vilamoura never stops.
There is always something going on. Look towards the horizon and you'll see sails glistening against the endless blue backdrop, look inland and watch dozens of horses strutting at the equestrian centre. Chances are you'll pay a visit the resort at the time of one of the major international golf tournaments or when you can see the best international game fishermen sailing excitedly from the marina, keen to catch a prize-winning white or blue marlin.

Vilamoura has unmatched conditions for a number of outdoor and indoor activities, and it has therefore attracted a variety of renowned international events. The International Carnival Regatta, one of Europe's largest, is already a tradition, as well as the International Horse-Jumping Contest that every year attracts many of the world's top equestrians.
But golf, sailing and equestrianism are not the only sports at Vilamoura. Residents and visitors alike can unwind at a Lawn Bowling Club, Tennis Club, Diving Club or other top quality sports facilities.
Vilamoura's Sports Park, a 20-hectare green area, has an exceptionally good cross-country grass track on which the acclaimed International Almond Blossom Cross-Country Race is held annually. The park has ideal facilities for outdoor sports including a grass football pitch used for training by some of Europe's best football teams. It is also used by the Vilamoura Football School to coach its aspiring young players.
But Vilamoura's essence is incomplete without an historical account. And, in fact, its known history spans back to the 1st century A.D. when Romans started living here. Visit the Cerro da Vila Museum and the Archaeological Site to take a glimpse back in time when those early settlers made this place their home.
Whether it's a morning jog on one of the various tracks, a parasailing flight or a dive into the coast's enticing blue waters, Vilamoura encourages you to be physically active everyday.

Vilamoura offers you every thing needed to enjoy your holiday including, 5 top quality golf courses, The marina celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1999. Just as Vilamoura has matured well over the years, so has the marina. It has established itself as an enjoyable place to visit, an interesting, fun place to be.
