I have been visiting Portugal for the past 45 years on and off to play golf and holiday. I saw Vilamoura grow up from nothing to what it is today 'the largest man made resort in Europe'. Now internationally famous for its five golf courses it has so much more to offer all of which have a strong outdoor sport theme. It now has offers approx 24 miles of pedestrian and cycling routes, circuit training with dedicated stations, swimming, tennis, water sports, golden beaches or just chillin out under the blue skies.

Comforting to know when you arrive there is no long drive from Faro Airport - just 25 minutes by car or take a private transfer.

In a word: Convenience. The apartment backs directly into the garden and is like having an additional room. Easy to keep on eye on the small ones as they play by the pool. Having a bathroom the same level as the pool is a real bonus. The terrace has a lovely table with four chairs and parasol for some al-fresco dining.
Alternatively simply walk down the main Avenida to the Marina or enjoy the various restaurants and bars on offer across the road.
