Vilamoura, The Algarve

The basics

As is true in much of the Algarve, life in Vilamoura revolves around the waterfront. There is no shortage of ocean-based fun on offer here—from dolphin-spotting excursions to jet ski rentals and speedboat tours. While many travelers use Vilamoura as a base, others visit the resort town as part of multi-day tours of the Algarve. These tours typically make stops at Vilamoura as well as other cities and resorts—from Faro and Albufeira to the beach-ringed Tavira Island in Ria Formosa Natural Park (Parque Natural da Ria Formosa).
