*** Vilamoura is the name given to an area rather than to any actual town. It is one of the largest single tourist complex's 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. Vilamoura is a special place, a unique leisure and recreation resort community where the pace of life is so easy it feels like summer all year round. 
 
The apartment is a short walk from the marina which is the place to go if you're looking for fantastic food and a good night out. Vilamoura is bursting with sporting and leisure facilities for the whole family. It is a place for rest and relaxation but also for pursuing active pastimes and sports; a friendly and safe residential haven, but also a vibrant and exciting night-life centre. It is Portuguese, but also truly cosmopolitan. Away from the hectic pace and the stress of the modern world, all who visit are revitalised by the lifestyle, the convenience and the hospitality of this truly special place. 
 
The apartment is a short walk from Praia da Falesia beach, one of the finest and longest beaches in the Algarve. It's a a spectacularly long uncrowded beach with beautiful surrounding countryside. Backed by low red and white sandstone cliffs and pine woods, Praia da Falesia beach runs for miles in either direction, with the resort of Vilamoura to the east and Albufeira to the west.
