Vilamoura Golf Holidays
When planning a European golfing holiday, Vilamoura is a destination that crops up more than most. The Algarve is the capital of golfing breaks, after all. The Las Vegas of the fairways. Its proximity to Faro Airport makes it a popular choice with holidaymakers, and with all-year-round Mediterranean sunshine, a lively town centre, and beaches to die for, you’ll never fall out of love with this place.
The town lies in the very heart and is packed full of history, culture, and of course some of the finest courses in Europe.
Where to Spend a Golf Break in Vilamoura
When you’re blessed with so many golf resorts in such a small area, it can be difficult to decide just where to spend your golf break.
Close to the heart of the town is the marina, a good place to base yourself if you plan on taking in the town post-round. There’s a number of fantastic resorts around this area accompanied by a host of bars, restaurants, and one of the best atmospheres in Portugal.
Step away from the centre though and there are a number of locations to just relax and take the weight off your feet. To the north you’ll find some of the most relaxing resorts in the region while heading a little further east will also provide you with top-class golfing and a laid back stay.
Vilamoura Golf Courses
The great thing about a Vilamoura golf holiday is that no matter where you stay within the town, you’re only ever a stone’s throw from at least a handful of courses. The Oceanico Old Course is one of the best in the region and has been throwing down the gauntlet to golfers since 1969. Its layout is revered around the country with towering pine trees being the main hazard to overcome.
A matter of minutes away is Pestana Vila Sol resort, one of the more challenging courses in the region. With 27 holes there’s plenty of golf to enjoy just a short distance from town, making villas a great choice as well.
What Else To Do in Vilamoura
Vilamoura is generally known for two things: its golf and its bars, but there are also plenty of other things to do in the town and the surrounding area. On site in most resorts you’ll find facilities for various other sports, while the beach will give you plenty of opportunity to enjoy the waves.
If you’re wanting something a little more flash, the Vilamoura casino will give you that in abundance, while culturally the Roman ruins and museum will offer an insight into the town’s rich history.
