The Algarve / Central Algarve region
Landscape and climate combine in the Algarve to create a region of year-round appeal. In winter, the Algarve basks in balmy sunshine. In summer it remains green and equable. Travelling around you will encounter breathtaking views: sheer cliffs at Cabo de Sao Vicente; sheltered valleys with their patchwork of orange groves; vineyards and olive trees or castle-topped peaks, with Moorish-style houses tumbling down the hillside; and brightly painted sardine boats in the harbour. The Eastern Central Algarve region runs from Albufeira in the west to Faro in the east and contains most of the Algarve's big holiday resorts - Vilamoura, Quarteira, Vale de Lobo, Quinta do Lago and Albufeira itself - tempting visitors with their white-washed villas set around manicured lawns, and miles of sandy beaches stretching to the horizon.
Vilamoura / Millenium Golf area
Vilamoura is located in the south of Portugal in the Central Algarve region and is one of Europe's most prestigious resorts, catering for every taste. Only 20 minutes drive from Faro airport, Vilamoura is focussed around a marina, with the whole area maintained to the highest standards. The marina and surrounding area offers a wide variety of designer shops, and bars, restaurants and nightlife to suit every pocket. Most have wonderful views overlooking the luxury yachts moored there. If you like to soak up more of the culture you can visit some of the local/historical hotspots through a number of excursions available from the local tour operators based in the marina. Vilamoura has excellent sports facilities and is renowned for it's superb golf courses. It is often more cost effective to book a golf package via the internet before you arrive. Alternatively tee times can be booked at the Club Houses of the relevant course. If golf is not for you, there are plenty of other sports facilities including tennis, shooting, horse-riding and lawn bowling. You can also spend a fun filled day at one of Vilamoura's numerous water parks. If walking is your thing you can enjoy a leisurely day out north west of Vilamoura's protected woodlands, which are great for soaking up the local wildlife. If you want to simply laze around, relax and top up your tan then try one of the two beaches in Vilamoura. Falesia Beach and Marina Beach both have fabulous golden sands, with snack bars, sun-beds and umbrellas, with a choice of watersports for those feeling a little more energetic. For the children (or the young at heart!) Zoomarine is only 30 minutes away, where you can pre-book to swim with dolphins or just enjoy the animal shows, rides and swimming. Or try Roma Golf Park, next to the marina in Vilamoura, where you can enjoy mini golf as well as the quad biking and the exotic farm and tropical gardens. The attractive, neighbouring resorts of Vale de Lobo and Quinta da Lago offer yet more superb golf courses, wide, golden sand beaches and a wide variety of bars and restaurants.
