Vilamoura Information
Vilamoura
- Introduction
 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.
