The sleepy fishing village of Quarteira was developed in the 1960s to become one of the first luxury resort towns in the Algarve. In the same decade, a Portuguese hotel and resort company planned a similarly luxurious resort complex, Vilamoura, immediately adjacent. Today, the two resort hubs (pop. 20,000) welcome all types of tourists, from families to golf aficionados to the glamorous jet-set. Much of the activity in Vilamoura revolves around the state-of-the-art Vilamoura Marina, which can hold nearly 1,000 yachts. Inaugurated in 1974, it continues to hold the distinction of being Portugal`s largest marina over 40 years on. Close by is a Vegas-style casino, featuring fine dining, stage shows and more. Vilamoura strives to provide a great vacation experience.
The Algarve is teeming with life, it is one of the most popular party destinations in Portugal. Situated on the southern coast of the country, it enjoys nearly constant sunshine and never wants for things to do or see! Start your totally customizable vacation package in Faro (the capital of the area, with sunny beaches and a pretty, walled Old Town), then continue to Vilamoura (a resort town with celebrated golf courses and a trendy marina with chic nightlife), continue to Albufeira (an Algarve favorite for its energy and buzzing lifestyle) and end your stay in glorious Praia da Rocha (a loud, brash town with a perfect climate and lively nightlife)! Just make sure you wake up in time for your flight home when all is said and done! This is a flexible vacation package. Select your number of nights in each city, desired hotel and activities.
