Introduction to Vilamoura
Vilamoura is the name given to an area rather than to any actual town. It
is outstanding in that it is one of the largest single tourist complex in
Europe and covers some 2.000 hectares of land. The land is variable in its
vegetation, some parts covered in pine forests whilst others open recovered
marshland. The company that owns this complex is extremely environmentally
conscious and has made every effort is being made to protect nature within
its continued planned development. Due to the size of the resort area it
offers the visitor nearly every form of sport and entertainment. On the
southern border is a long sandy beach swept by the Atlantic Ocean.
Amongst the many attractions and facilities there are six different Golf
Courses, a large Marina, a Lawn Bowling Club with two grass Rinks, a
Tennis Centre, a Sports Club, a Shooting Club, 5 Star and 4 Star Hotels,
Tourist Apartments, self-catering Villas, Night Clubs, an International
Casino with glamorous shows, a Cinema, and an excellent Riding School.
Within the centre of Vilamoura there is a preserved Roman Site and
Museum of Cerro da Vila providing an interesting glimpse into the
past of the area. In Roman times this location was important in producing a
fish paste known as "garum". The ruins also include the
baths in which the mariners used to bathe.
As a location specifically designed for tourism it has proved to be a very
successful holiday destination for all ages due to the variety of facilities
that it provides holidaymakers.
