Vilamoura Vilamoura is a self contained resort area, set between a pine forest and the beach, where the emphasis is on sporting activities, sun, sand and sea. There are five golf courses about 2 or 3 kilometres from the wide sandy beaches. You will also find tennis, horse riding, water sports, clay pigeon shooting, sailing, and deep sea fishing. The nightlife is just as varied with a lively Marina which forms the focal point of Vilamoura, with lots of shops, bars, restaurants and discos surrounding the many luxury yachts. There is also a cinema, and the Casino with cabaret.
