Map & location
Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal
Vilamoura Garden Hotel sits in a peaceful, green pocket of Vilamoura, surrounded by pine trees and manicured gardens. You’re moments from some of the Algarve’s finest golf courses, with the closest fairway just 200m away.
Vilamoura’s chic marina – lined with bars, restaurants and boutiques – is about 2km away, and the wide sandy beach is roughly 2.7km.

It’s a great base whether you’re here for golf, family time or to explore the wider Algarve coastline and inland villages.

For beach days, head to Vilamoura’s broad, golden sands about 2.7km away. Across summer (typically Jun–Sep) a complimentary shuttle from the nearby Hilton Vilamoura connects you with the beach and marina, so you can be by the Atlantic in minutes.
