Praia da Marina and Praia de Falesia - two alluringly sandy beaches, can also be found a short distance away from the villa.

THE REGION
Vilamoura has been a glamorous town ever since Roman time. Its rich history is still palpable as you walk its streets, coming upon Roman Baths and ancient murals all around town. These days, Vilamoura is still a high-class destination although it has certainly kept up with the times. Yachts dock at the large marina and travellers galavant the seaside strip hopping between bars, restaurants and the dazzling casino.
The local championship courses naturally attract a crowd of golf enthusiasts as well, and there is a large selection of other sports to enjoy in the area (including those best played out in the water). There is certainly no need to ever be bored in Vilamoura, but if it’s ultimate relaxation you’re after you won’t be disappointed. The town is alluringly close to Praia da Marina and Praia de Falesia, where the golden sand and hot Mediterranean sun is just about never-ending.
ABOUT THE ALGARVE
Though most people tend to see the Algarve as all about the beaches and a holiday on the Med, there’s far much more to it than that.
But while you’re enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Algarve, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we’ve put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe lovely garden area provides plenty of space for children to play outdoors, and the pool will provide hours of splashy fun, with sun-loungers available for you to keep a close eye on the little ones.
The family-friendly environment of the Algarve means that children are welcomed wherever they go. There are plenty of children’s play areas and activities in Vilamoura, including golf, tennis, diving, canoeing, cycling and sailing boat rental. This villa is based very close to Praia da Marina and Praia de Falesia, making it the perfect location for beach excursions.
There is the fantastic Zoomarine waterpark located close by in Guia; with several restaurants on the complex and plenty of green space to kick back, mums and dads can have a well-earned break while the kids amuse themselves on the big wheel, log flume and pirate ship - the ideal way to spend a day out. Slide and Splash, located in Estômbar, is full of spiralling water chutes and slides as well as river rapids and a giant jacuzzi. Aquashow another waterpark, located in Quarteira, also offers bird of prey and parrot shows, mini golf and a wax museum.
Visit Krazy World Zoo in Algoz, where there are not only animals to look at but lots of activities to get involved in too. Feeding times are always popular, as are the reptile shows. Kids can have a go at pony riding, play mini golf, take a dip in the tropical pools or enjoy some time at the little funfair. It is easy to spend a whole day at this popular attraction. For the speed demons, there is a fun go-karting centre located very close to Vilamoura!
There is also a popular Vilamoura tourist train that stops at:
1) Praia da Marina Hotel Vila Gale
2) Supermercado Spar
3) Old Village
4) Hotel Four Seasons
5) Hilton Hotel
6) Praia da Falesia
7) Supermercado Jafers
For those with little ones, this is a great way to get around and see the town.

Excellent Accommodation and Experience

Fabulous stay in Portugal
I stayed in Villa Cistanca in July 2018 with my family (6 adults & 1 baby). We had a wonderful stay from start to finish. The villa is exactly as described and comes with everything you need for your stay. It is extremely spacious inside and out and comes with three double bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The villa is approximately 10 minutes drive to Vilamoura, 5 minutes drive to the nearest supermarket and opposite the water park (walking distance). My sister hired extras for her baby from the company which were of good quality and inexpensive. I would highly recommend this villa

Outstanding!
Stayed for 4 nights in this beautiful villa. Fantastic space both inside and out. Each bedroom has an ensuite and there is air conditioning throughout. The patio and pool area is huge - shower, bbq area, dining table with 6 chairs, 6 sun loungers and a sofa with two additional armchairs all comfortably fitted. There is even a small garden area. The pool is really great also. A very secure place too with locks on all doors and windows and the from gate. Driveway parking with automatic gates was a bonus. I cannot fault the villa location.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
