Holiday lettings & accommodation in Vilamoura

Vilamoura is conveniently located just a short drive from Faro, where the Algarve’s main airport is located, having links with many destinations across Europe. From there, the town can be reached via taxi for a fixed rate, or by taking the local bus. Cars can be rented from the airport, which will give you more flexibility when exploring the wider area. If travelling from the west part of Portugal, travel along the 125 motorway, past Faro and into Vilamoura.

Vilamoura remains a favourite with holidaymakers due to its sunny days and warm temperatures that last for much of the year. The weather is at its best during July and August, when temperatures hover around 25 - 30 degrees Celsius. The periods immediately before and after high season are also popular, with reliably hot days ensuring beach time is rewarding. During the winter, the sun does shine but less frequently, and there’s also a chance of rain.
