Getting around in Vilamoura & the Algarve

The best way to get around the Algarve during your journey, is definitely with a rental car. With a car, you can go to all the attractions of the Algarve but also drive to the authentic and cute villages. Of course, not to forget, the beautiful beaches.

However, if you are not renting a car, there’s a train line all the way from Lagos to Vila Real de Santo António and busses are a good alternative too.
The frequency of public transport might not be ideal. Just be patient and go with the easy Algarve-flow. The nearest train station is called Loulé
From the Loulé train station, you can catch a bus, taxi or walk to Vilamoura. There are bus stops in the town for regional or long distance transport.

Best things to do during your holidays 

Vilamoura is a city in the Algarve, South Portugal. The city is known for its large and modern marina, luxury resorts, high-quality golf courses, nightlife, casino, and its beautiful beaches.
In the Algarve, we have a warm and mild climate. Summer months are hot and dry, perfect for the watersports and boat tours. The winter is a bit colder, and some rainy days can be expected.
The watersports and boat tours depart from the Vilamoura marina. The marina is a nice place to walk around, drink a coffee or a beer. The Marina de Vilamoura is the biggest marina in the Algarve and holds many luxury yachts.
Across the city, you will find many luxury resorts, including services as spa, swimming pool, bar, restaurants and a view over the ocean or golf circuits. The most well-known luxury resorts are:
Vale d'El Rei Hotel & Villas

The city is the perfect golf holiday destination. There are a wide variety and choice in golf courses.
The most popular golf courses are: Vale do Lobo Ocean and Royal Golf Courses, Dom Pedro Golf Courses and Salgados Golf Courses.
If you are on holiday with your family, your children will love one of the theme parks in the Algarve. There are many different attractions, including Aquashow Park (water fun park), Krazy World (interactive zoo), Karting in Almancil and Parque Aventura in Albufeira (adventure park), for example.
For a more educational holiday event with the family, visit the “Centro de Ciência Viva do Algarve”, a science center in Faro.
For a break of all excitement, you can relax and walk around in the beautiful garden attached to the city. The garden is called Jardim da Alameda João de Deus. Vilamoura’s city center is the Marina.
Besides the Marina, you will find many residential areas. The city merges with the city of Quarteira, which is at walking distance, and has an old town that’s worth a visit.
Vilamoura has many historical attractions in the area, including churches, roman and Moorish ruins, castles and an Archaeological Museum (Museu Arqueológico, also known as Museu Municipal de Faro).
Some monuments and historical landmarks you might want to visit are Capela dos Ossos. the Roman ruins of Cerro da Vila, the Roman ruins of Milreu, the ruins of Castelo de Paderne and Castelo de Loulé.
In Faro itself, you might want to visit Sé de Faro, Igreja do Carmo, Arco da Vila and Igreja de São Lourenço de Almancil.
Regarding nightlife, you can find many clubs, discos and bars in the surroundings. The Vilamoura casino is the biggest Casino in the Algarve.
And of course, there are many Booze Cruise boat parties, they’re the best option to have fun and enjoy the sunset.
In Portugal, Portuguese is the official language. 
Almost everybody in the Algarve speaks English, especially in most touristic places. The local currency is the Euro. At most places, you can pay by card, and there are many ATMs (multibancos) around.

The best boat tours

Vilamoura boat tours are mostly yacht charters, BBQ cruises, fishing tours, caves tours, sunset tours, and boat parties. Cruise along the coast, as the Algarve coastline is a must-see.
  • Yacht charters - The Marina is full of luxury yachts, being the best place to charter your own private yacht. The yacht charters, are very popular. You can rent a smaller boat for only 150€ each hour including a local skipper. Or you can charter a luxury yacht during sunset from 750€.

What & where to eat

For a luxury destination, probably you are also for a fine dining restaurant. "Salmora Live Kitchen & Bar", serves delicious dishes. 
Restaurante “O Marisco”, is the place to eat fish or seafood. For vegan and vegetarian option we recommend Cafe del Arte and Chilly Lounge.

Enjoy the gorgeous beaches 

Vilamoura is surrounded with white-sanded beaches with, in many cases, golden cliffs and caves. Hereby, some of the best beaches in and around are Praia de Vilamoura, Praia da Falésia, Praia da Rocha Baixinha and Praia de Quarteira.
Other beaches like Praia do Trafal, Praia do Almargem Praia do Forte Novo, Praia do Poço Velho, Praia dos Tomates and Praia do Garrão Nascente is less know and maybe a nice bet if you're looking for a quieter beach day.
Praia de Vale do Lobo is surrounded by a reddish top, on top of which is one of the most famous golf courses in the Algarve. This beach is located next to the tourist resort of the same name, is one of the most well-known beaches internationally.
