Villa Vira is located in a quiet residential area just over 4km from the centre of Alvor and 6km from Portimão. The Portimão Marina is a popular destination, and if guests want to venture slightly further afield, Ferragudo and Carvoeiro are both just a short drive away. The beach is just under 5km away, and the nearest golf course can be found 3.5km away.
This is a fantastic destination for families who want a bit of everything from their holiday experience. Calm and peaceful, the village of Alvor provides a pleasant contrast to some of the Algarve’s livelier resorts. It’s still a popular choice, with its beautiful beaches, riverside cafés and traditional feel attracting many visitors. Tourists visit the Algarve for its golf courses, tennis clubs, water sports, historical background, beaches, hiking trails and restaurant & bars. For those looking for a night out, Portimão is known for having a great nightlife.
Historically, Carvoeiro was a small-town fisherman village but is now developed into one of the most attractive holiday areas of Portugal, becoming a popular choice for travellers with so many hotels, tennis courts, golf resorts and activities to make use of. Rugged cliff and secluded coves give the beaches plenty of character, with unusual rock formations that have become attractions themselves.
You can take a boat trip to see the caves of Praia de Benagil, where a circular ‘eye’ opening gives way to a small beach hidden inside. Watersports ranging from windsurfing to scuba diving promise excitement under the sun not to mention the paintball, horse riding and sports centre in easy reach. For a more relaxing day, two sprawling, beautiful golf courses are available for your pleasure: Vale do Milho Golf and Pestana Gramacho Golf. A day of pampering and luxury can also be sought from the local spas. For the adults, after dark Carvoeiro also provides thrilling nightlife with beach bars, clubs and plenty of opportunity for dancing.
