Family days out>

Families are definitely welcome here in Vilamoura. In fact, it looks like it was designed for families. Here at IfVilamoura we also thought about it and did our best for the best comfort: fathers, mothers, uncles, aunts, grandparents, grandparents and children. If you are looking for accommodation, where you can make the most of a few sunny days as a family, then look no further.

All of our facilities are designed so that the family can relax and the youngest can play safely. From the Barbecue we have available, you can control the youngest who may be in the Pool, on the trampoline or even in the garden. Our Mediterranean garden is a great place for children and family to spend time together. We have a huge barbecue, where you can cook your food and watch your children play in the street.

Vilamoura has many water sports activities for families, surfing, cruises and fishing trips, not to mention the beach, of course. Is there anything better than letting the kids run around freely, making sandcastles or taking a dip in the warm sea?

You can book activities directly with us and enjoy some discounts.

Portugal is known for being a family country and Vilamoura maintains that reputation. Stay up late, enjoy dinner or an artist doing our caricature at the Marina. Children are always welcome anywhere.

Visit Algarve history and culture

Discover the history and culture of the Algarve.

Discover the history and culture of the Algarve. The five hundred years (from the 8th to the 13th century) of Moorish presence in Al Gharb, which is Arabic for “to the west”, left a strong legacy and it was also in the Algarve, mainly in the areas of Lagos and Sagres, that Príncipe Henrique, the Navigator, the main architect of the Portuguese Discoveries, left testimony to the glorious times and conquests of the 15th century.

From Vilamoura, we can recommend several excursions for a different day!

A tour of the Eastern Algarve, passing through Faro, Tavira and Vila Real de Santo António. In Faro, be sure to visit the Ria Formosa Natural Park and the Old Town, including the Cathedral and the Castle. In Tavira, discover fantastic beaches and islands, climb to the castle for fantastic views of the ocean and be amazed by regional handicrafts. In Vila Real de Santo António, right on the border with Spain, stroll through Praça Marquês de Pombal and the riverside area and try one of the many local restaurants.

Another suggestion is a tour of the mountain and west coast, exploring Silves, Monchique and Aljezur. This tour has as its first stop Silves, one of the oldest cities in Portugal, where it is worth visiting the Castle, built by the Moors on Roman foundations in the 11th century, the Cathedral and the Arade River Dam. Then travel to Monchique, located on the mountain that separates the Algarve from the Alentejo and where you can find the highest point in the Algarve. The route ends in Aljezur, where in addition to the Castle and the Misericórdia Church, you can find beautiful beaches on the west coast of Portugal.

The options are very varied for trips to discover the Algarve!
