Even out of season, the sun will still be shining more than the rain is falling – making Vilamoura a strong contender for a break away from home no matter the time of year.

The best beaches are to be found around the marina, where there is plenty of golden sand on which to relax and welcoming blue waters where you either take a refreshing dip to cool down or enjoy a selection of different watersports.

Alongside the beaches, the promenade is home to a various bars, restaurants and shops, whilst there are accessible options for disabled visitors who want to spend some time on the beach.

The main beaches within Vilamoura all carry a Blue Flag rating.

Within – and around - the resort, there are plenty of activities to cater for all manner of visitors, from lone travellers and couple through to families.

Those looking for additional levels of fun can visit the nearby Zoomarine Park, whilst anyone wanting to explore history and culture will love exploring Vilamoura’s roman ruins, the 13th century castle in nearby Loule or the Bishop’s Palace in Faro.

There are golf courses aplenty if you want to get a quick round in during your time in the sun, as well as a wide range of dining options that provide the chance to sample both local and international cuisine aplenty.

When the sun goes down, expect to find plenty to keep you entertained, with the area around the marina being particularly popular thanks to the bars and restaurants found around the waterfront.
