Central Algarve

Central Algarve includes the resort of Vilamoura and Albufeira, probably the two most popular golfing destinations in the Algarve.

Vilamoura is where it all started and has grown to be one of the biggest golf complex in Europe, boasting 7 courses most of which compare with the best in Europe. 

Vilamoura, is an ambitious purpose-built resort on the central Algarve coast, is one of Europe's largest privately developed tourist havens, offering holidaymakers every form of sport, entertainment and amenity imaginable. The resort is built around a magnificent 1000-berth marina, alongside which are preserved some Roman ruins that were unearthed during construction back in the 1960s. The southern border is lined by a long, sandy beach, overlooked by quality hotels, self-catering apartments, numerous restaurants and shops, and a host of leisure facilities including a casino. Further inland villas nestle in lush gardens between the golf courses. Vilamoura, which means 'Village of the Moors', is designed for pure pleasure for everyone, of any age or orientation. Nature has enhanced the resort with a temperate sunny climate and beautifully landscaped surroundings. Development has been environmentally friendly and tasteful. 

Albufeira has gradually become a firm favourite of the golfing fraternity, more of a young man’s resort with nightlife into the small hours and entertainment to suit all tastes. Plenty of bars, restaurants, night spots and surrounded by great golf courses.
