Elect's take

"Vilamoura has a polish and a quality of golf and marina facilities that set it apart from other Algarve resorts. The golf here is genuinely outstanding and the marina provides an excellent social hub at the centre of a very well-managed resort environment."

The Vilamoura golf courses, particularly the Old Course, the Pinhal and the Victoria, provide some of the finest golf in Europe in beautifully maintained parkland settings with year-round playable conditions. The marina is one of the finest in the Algarve, a beautiful facility for yachts of every size surrounded by excellent restaurants and bars. Falesia Beach, stretching for kilometres of dramatic cliff-backed golden sand, is one of the finest beaches in the Algarve and accessible by a short walk or buggy from the resort. The Casino Vilamoura provides entertainment and dining. The Roman ruins of Cerro da Vila within the resort area provide a fascinating archaeological context.
