Villa Netena is 2.2km from the centre of Vilamoura in a calming residential area. It is very close to a supermarket, restaurant and bars and cafes. The mesmerising Vilamoura Beach is 2.3km away, and the stunning Falesia beach is just the other side of the marina. The golden sands of Vilamoura Beach run all the way to Quarteira. The water is so clear and blue, and many tourist watersports are on offer. It is semi-sheltered from the powerful waves of the Atlantic by a sea groyne that extends from the harbour mouth, so the waters are mainly calm and great for families. Falesia Beach is often regarded as one of the finest of the Algarve with a massive 5km shoreline! It is surrounded by majestic red sandstone cliffs. It is an enjoyable two-hour return walk along Falesia Beach to Olhos de Agua. For the return, there is a lovely path along the top of the cliffs.
Vilamoura has six superb golf courses, horse riding, football, a top tennis academy and a huge array of watersports on offer. The Portugal Masters takes place at the famous Victoria Golf Course annually. The atmosphere is incredible. The six courses are Laguna, Millenium, the Old Course, Pinhal, Vila Sol and Victoria. The Old Course is the second oldest golf course in the Algarve.
Vilamoura Marina has been awarded International Marina of the Year 2019/2020 by The Yacht Harbour Association. It is huge with so many berths for luxury yachts. It is also surrounded by amazing bars, restaurants and boutiques. By night, the atmosphere is electric. You can also arrange many boat trips from the marina, either to fish, take part in watersports, dolphin watch or visit the magnificent coastline.
If the shops around the marina are not enough, you might like to visit the MAR Shopping Algarve Centre. Not only does it have amazing shops, but there is also a cinema and wonderful restaurants. It was opened in 2017 and is glossy and smart. There is also a designer outlet next door.
