The ultimate way to unwind in the Algarve is on Purobeach, located on Vilamoura Beach next to the marina. There are two distinct areas for sheer relaxation: firstly, out along the beachfront, where you can take your pick from an ordinary sunbed or a luxury Balinese sunbed; or by the pool under the shade of the Tivoli Marina gardens. Both spots have access to a stylish bar, while the beachfront area hosts resident DJs throughout the day. There’s even the option to add on a luxury wellness treatment, such as a massage or a skin treatment, if you’re wanting to hit that bliss spot!

Many flock to Vilamoura just for the opportunity to play a round of golf at The Old Course, an 18-hole championship golf course. The second oldest golf course in the Algarve, The Old Course has a number of holes to challenge both amateurs and the pros, all set within manicured grounds. It also comes complete with on-site facilities, while buggies and clubs are available to hire on-site. Those wanting something for the entire family can also swing by the Family Golf Park where there are two 18-hole courses to work your way around. There are a number of ancient Rome-themed obstacles to tackle as you aim for that number one spot.
