Vilamoura has always been a pleasant
holiday destination. It is a perfect mix of considerably modern amenities and
facilities - and it never disappoints a tourist. A holiday in Vilamoura is
always different from a holiday in Greece
or Rome, as it
does not offer one an intense experience, and it cannot be called an
outstanding tourist destination. But it is a lovely place with plenty of
wonderful offerings.
Vilamoura has everything that people look
for on a holiday. It has excellent beaches where one can walk mile after mile
on the beautiful sand and enjoy the sun. The marina is gorgeous, with abundant
area to play or sit on the sand under the sun. Various tours offer sailing
opportunities, which are unforgettable experiences.
Vilamoura is a golfer’s paradise, as the
golf courses in and around the place lure golfers from far and wide. Golf addicts
are thrilled at the prospect of having wonderful courses at their doorstep.
“The Old Village”, located at the edge of the
Pinhal course, is a residential area and is very close to the marina. Tourists
love this part of the town.
Vilamoura has a large number of restaurants
that offer delicious food and a wide range of choices. Most of the well-known
restaurants are located around the marina. The restaurant adjacent to the
Fotobrinca Toy Shop has never disappointed guests with the quality of food that
it serves. “The Old
Village” has conventional
“British” restaurants that serve traditional British food. Central
Vilamoura, on the other hand, is a relatively luxurious area with
a wide range of both plain and up-market restaurants. O Taco is very famous and
is loved by tourists. The Mayflower also serves excellent food and has
impeccable service.
The shops are quite good, where tourists
can shop for souvenirs. Items are sold that are both expensive and affordable.
Brands like Benetton, Boss and Gant are also sold for the affluent society.
The best thing about Vilamoura
is that it is comparatively unspoilt, and city-dwellers love the essence of
this place. The best time to visit Vilamoura is the month of October when the
climate is not very hot. It is a calm and quiet place, which has something for
everyone. Though it is a small place, it offers enjoyment to both older
tourists and younger travelers. It is a beautiful resort blessed with a
colorful variety of tropical flowers and stunning trees. A tourist on a
cliff-top walk has a wonderful view of the sea.
Holidays can be exciting, thrilling and
full of activities. Holidays can also mean incessant visits to historical
relics, museums and churches. Holidays can also be meant for pure relaxation,
where there is no early rising to board the tour bus that leaves at six in the
morning. Vilamoura offers that kind of a holiday where tourists, irrespective
of their age, taste, country and background, roam around in a leisurely manner
enjoying the sun, sand and seaside views. Golfers can spend hours at the golf
course and shoppers can indulge themselves to their hearts’ content. A holiday
in Vilamoura is a holiday in the truest sense of the term.
