It is also very popular with golfers who can come and enjoy five of the best golf courses in Europe, and of course the Portugal Masters that is held at the Victoria golf course every October.

Whether you enjoy sports, walking along the many paths and routes there are, or simply enjoying the beautiful beaches and whiling the day away, Vilamoura has something to offer everyone. Very close to Vilamoura is the very popular exclusive resorts of Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago. Vale do Lobo is one of the longest established and best known resorts in the Algarve.
