From spacious bungalows to quaint apartments nestled amongst well-manicured grounds, you’ll certainly get your money’s worth making Vale Do Lobo a great location for property hunters.
Plenty of entertainment
Whether you’re jetting off on honeymoon or travelling with kids, you won’t be short of things to do. Vale Do Lobo is a coastal destination boasting two kilometres of golden beach meaning that when you’re not building sand castles or bathing in the crystal clear waters you can check out the wide range of water sports available. The Atlantic Ocean, which laps the sensationally beautiful coastlines of Portugal, is rich in sea life and offers once-in-a-lifetime snorkelling and diving experiences. Wreck diving opportunities are also available and if you’re a bit scared of completely submerging yourself underwater then a jet-ski ride might be more to your liking.
And when you’ve recovered from the water-based activities of the day, why not try a spot of golf at one of the finest champion courses on the coast? Both The Royal and The Ocean courses were originally designed by the famed Sir Henry Cotton, a golfing master of the time, and are considered must-play courses in Portugal – but don’t worry if you’re not a golf lover as tennis is also popular at the resort. With 14 courts, the tennis facilities are the largest in The Algarve and provide a safe place for both kids and adults to enjoy a run-around.
Leisure facilities
The sunny, Mediterranean climate of Vale Do Lobo means that many activities are located outside. You’ll find kid’s clubs embarking on many a fun-filled adventure as well as sparkling swimming pools offering a respite from the warm weather, but if you fancy a break from the sun, how about an afternoon at a health spa? The Royal Spa is just one of the many venues that not only has a gym but offers almost every pamper package you can think of. So, whether you want to enhance your wellbeing with a massage or get a fresh new haircut you can treat yourself until your heart’s content.
Fantastic nightlife
While on holiday, many people like getting spruced up and enjoying the nightlife in their chosen destination. The good news is, Vale Do Lobo comes alive at night with many guests heading down to the social hub of the resort – The Praca. Offering everything from cocktails to live music, The Praca is the place to be of an evening and is the perfect venue to sample delicious Mediterranean cuisine or grab a seafood dinner.
Vale Do Lobo has plenty to see and do for all ages, so if it’s a fun-filled yet relaxing adventure you’re looking for in 2016, this resort has to top your list.
