Vila Do Golf Almancil Portugal

Centuries-old pine trees grow around Vilar do Golf, a four-star luxury resort in the middle of the exclusive Quinta do Lago estate. This Diamond Resorts International destination resort stands directly west of Faro Airport and two of Portugal's finest golf courses.

In addition to the standard Diamond Resorts International hospitality pack of water, food condiments, and tea and coffee supplies, timeshare owners can also request additional groceries be delivered to them prior to checking in.

The resort's one- and two-bedroom timeshares are compact, yet comfortable, with fully equipped kitchens and modern bathrooms. DVD players and sofas accompany each flat screen television and every individually decorated unit comes complete with a terrace or balcony overlooking the property's tropical grounds.

During their Vilar do Golf stay, guests can relax on lounge chairs at the solarium or engage in more athletic pursuits like swimming in the indoor pool, playing tennis, or riding bicycles across the scenic countryside of Almancil. Children can enjoy their own activity program and playground.

The onsite Bobby Jones Bar and Grill faces the spectacular Quinta do Lago Golf Course and is among the highest rated places to eat in all of the Algarve. The restaurant's wide variety of live entertainment includes special Portuguese, Brazilian, and Italian nights.

Vehicles are recommended for exploring beyond this resort. Public transit options are limited, but the nearest beach is no more than a five-minute drive away and the Ria Formosa Natural Park ranks among Portugal's most expansive wilderness areas.
