Vilamoura and its surrounds:
Vilamoura is a purpose built resort where everything has been planned with your pleasure in mind. The huge range of activities makes it a very popular destination for families and groups seeking stress free fun.
The Vilamoura area offers a fabulous diversity of experiences, from quiet pine forest ambles and Atlantic beaches to a Casino, shooting club, bowls, riding school, deep sea game fishing, water sports and an extensive choice of bars, restaurants and night clubs. One of the main attractions is the environmentally conscious development of the five championship golf courses which will provide a challenge to beginner and scratch golfer alike.
Vilamoura would not be complete without a trip to the internationally renown marina. In the streets surrounding this area can be found an extensive variety of restaurants and bars. People watching is almost mandatory in the child friendly bars and restaurants alongside the marina.
The Algarve:
Think of the Algarve and you think of sunshine breaks and relaxing holidays. With an annual average of 3000 sunshine hours, the Algarve is one of Europe’s sunniest places, and sees more sunshine than even California. The summer months will see 12 hours of sunshine per day on average and almost no rainfall.
Temperatures average 28ºC in July and August, though the mercury can rise to the mid 30s in the middle of the day. Being a coastal region, however, there are cooling sea breezes that sweep in off the Atlantic which are a welcome relief on the hottest days.
Spring and autumn are very pleasant times of year. For those looking for an active holiday this is perhaps the best time, as temperatures are much more comfortable.
