The heart of Vilamoura is the marina. A stroll here is a must to view the stunningly luxurious yachts. People-watching, particularly famous people-watching is another favorite activity. Bars, restaurants and shops surround the marina walkways, providing a day long cosmopolitan atmosphere. At night the marina comes alive - music, parties, good food and people enjoying the bounties of a special corner of the world. The Vilamoura Casino is another favorite haunt – aside from the gambling rooms and slot machines, the casino offers cabaret nights and a nightclub.
Vilamoura is famed for the excellent golf courses in the area, but other sporting activities are also well represented – horse-riding, lawn bowls, a tennis centre and a plethora of water sports are available locally. Towards the eastern end of the marina walkway you can find plenty of aquatic activities – coastal cruises, big game fishing and parasailing among others. Vilamoura boasts its own museum and archaeological site – Cerro da Vila, where vestiges of past Roman, Visigoth and Moorish civilizations can be appreciated.
All of this and spectacular beaches too – this is what makes Vilamoura so special.
