Vilamoura
​Vilamoura is the name given to an area rather than to any actual town. It is outstanding in that it is one of the largest single tourist complex in Europe and covers some 2.000 hectares of land. Vilamoura is a special place, a unique leisure and recreation resort community where the pace of life is so easy it feels like summer all year round.

Golf
​​Vilamoura is famous for its golf courses - and rightly so, with 6 magnificient courses to choose from. Our villa is ideally situated for golfers, being less than 5 minutes to any of the 6 courses!
Marina
​At the heart of Vilamoura is the marina. The marina is surrounded by large Hotels and Luxury holiday homes as well as a large casino and numerous restaurants and vibrant bars. At the far corner of the marina, it is possible to charter boats for big game fishing. There are also facilities for jet skiing and parascending. Close by there are also a number of sports clubs, a shooting range and many night clubs.
Beach
There are two main beaches at Vilamoura, the beautiful Falesia Beach that stretches for miles, always offering plenty of space, even in the height of the season, and the Marina Beach that is right in the centre of Vilamoura.
- Falesia Beach: The main beach at Vilamoura (to the west of the marina), called the Falesia, is beautiful, very clean and has been awarded the blue flag. It is fantastic for families and watersport enthusiastics. The beach is very sandy (not fine shingle that you find in many European resorts) and stretches for around 10km! This means that even in the height of summer you can always find a nice quiet place on the beach.
On the beach you can find sunbeds and parasols for hire, together with various watersport activities, inculding jet-ski rental.
- Marina Beach: The Marina Beach is situated to the east side of the marina and is directly in front of the 5 star Tivoli Marinotel. Although much smaller, this beach has similar fine sand as the Falesia beach.
