If you love long stretches of soft vanilla sand, clear highly swimmable, and highly ‘grammable turquoise waters, the Algarve goes hard – especially the beautiful southern resort of Vilamoura and the bordering town of Quarteira. We’re talking cool-as-heck red cliffs. We’re talking posh dinners at a luxe marina. We’re talking absolute archaeological beauties. AND we’re talking unrivalled relaxation and BBE (Beach Bum Energy).
Holidays in Vilamoura are versatile and vibey. Spend your mornings poolside or oceanside, sipping ice-cold drinks, and taking much-needed cool-down dips whenever you feel a lil’ bit too sun-baked in the Portuguese heat. Hop off the lounger in the afternoon, if you fancy, for a ‘Faro’-way day trip spent exploring and adventuring in the cobbled streets of historic Faro, the capital of the Algarve region.
Then, when the sun is just beginning to set orange and pink in the sky above you, head back to your accom. Pop in the shower, get dressed up for the evening, and make the amazingly picturesque walk over to a restaurant like Willie’s or Purobeach for a fine dining experience to die for (complete with as many glasses of native-to-Portugal white wine as you fancy).
Ever wanted to go dolphin-spotting? During your Vilamoura holiday, YOU CAN! Jet off from the marina on a dolphin tour and see these majestic, intelligent creatures in their native Algarve habitats. Wave hello, and they just might wave back. True dolphin lovers should make sure to check out Benagil Cave, as this area is known to be a popular spot among pally pods of dolphins.
Basically, this is the scoop: whatever your heart needs from your hol, you’re likely to find it soaking in the sun, sampling local delicacies, and paddling in the warm blue waters during your holiday in Vilamoura. What ‘moura’ could you want, really?
