About Vilamoura

Nestling in the picturesque Portuguese Algarve coastline facing the mighty Atlantic Ocean, Vilamoura boasts itself as Europe’s finest ocean resort offering the best accommodation to combine a conference with time to relax. The resort is built around a magnificent 1000 berth marina, alongside which are preserved some Roman ruins that were unearthed during construction back in the 1960's.

Designed from the start to be self-sufficient, Vilamoura is ideally located, features a wide choice of prime accommodation, offers the commercial structure for day-to-day needs and is bursting with sporting and leisure facilities for the whole family. It is a place for rest and relaxation but also for pursuing active pastimes and sports; a friendly and safe residential haven, but also a vibrant and exciting night-life centre. It is a luxury hotel, a private villa or a serviced apartment for the visitor, but also a home to the resident and seasonal population. It is Portuguese, but also truly cosmopolitan. Away from the hectic pace and the stress of the modern world, all who visit are revitalised by the lifestyle, the convenience and the hospitality of this truly special place.
