Three minutes walk from the Old Village is so handy. there's a supermarket, cyber cafe, and bars and restaurants with a good selection of options.
Just twenty minutes stroll and you're in the sophisticated Marina, with multi million euro yachts in the heart of Vilamoura. Bars, shops and restaurants abound here. It is the place to be seen in the Algarve.
Just a few minutes beyond this and you're at the beach! There are food options, facilities and refreshments right on the back of the sand and if you're too hot and lazy to walk back it's only a five minute taxi! And you can wash the sand off in the private pool!
But, golf is the key. 6 courses within 5 mins drive.
