VILAMOURA
The stunning resort of Vilamoura on Portugal's Algarve coast proved a great hit with players in Season 6 and the shift to a late August time slot for Season 7 will make it even easier to enjoy the area’s plentiful sports and leisure facilities.
Set around a stunning marina, Vilamoura is a large and beautifully-designed tourist resort full of shops, bars, restaurants and lively pubs. The area is a haven for golfers – famed worldwide not only for its top-class championship courses, but also its superb year-round weather. There are a staggering 31 courses in the region, including the famous Vilamoura Old Course, Vila Sol and the Pinhal Golf Course.
The marina – which has capacity for over 1,000 boats - is a perfect place to chill out during the day, and becomes the centre of Vilamoura nightlife in the evenings. There are also two long, sandy beaches, a nearby riding school and over 50 tennis courts.
HOW TO GET THERE
By air: From the UK, there are direct flights to Faro Airport with British Airways and Easyjet. From other countries, fly first to Lisbon and then it's a short 40 minute connecting flight to Faro.
By Taxi: Vilamoura is situated some 20km from Faro Airport. The taxi fare is around €30.
