Best things to do in Vale Do Lobo, Portugal
When you want to do something outside of the resort, Vale do Lobo is ideally positioned in a central location for easy access to all the best things to do in the Algarve.
As one of the most visited places in the world, the Algarve has an endless choice of top attractions. Here's our top picks of the best things to do and see in Vale do Lobo.
Best things to do in Vale Do Lobo:
Best watersports:
Watersports of every kind are easily available both inside and outside of the resort. The Algarve has a diverse shoreline, making it ideal for a wide variety of thrilling watersports, including: surfing, wakeboarding, jet skiing, scuba diving, kayaking, windsurfing, kiteboarding and more.
Some of the local coastline is best explored by boat so you'll find lots of different boat tours on offer. Marine life in this area is magnificent and sea cruises take in everything from dolphins to the rare sea creatures that inhabit the waters of the Ria Formosa Natural Park.
Best beaches:
Vale do Lobo and the area that surrounds are home to some of the most exclusive coastline in the Algarve. Relish superior blue flag beaches with private access for residents from the Golden Triangle's luxury golf resorts.
Praia de Vale do Lobo and Praia da Quinta do Lago each sit below their respective golf courses. Both beaches offer private access, premium standards and wonderful views.
With red-stone cliffs behind and the golf course directly above, Praia de Vale do Lobo is an arresting sight with clear waters, top facilities and a long stretch of sand.
In contrast, the white sands of Praia da Quinta do Lago are situated on the outskirts of the Ria Formosa Nature reserve and accompanied by a beach bar as well as watersports. On the other side of the nature reserve, Praia do Ancao completes this trio of quieter, elite beaches and is a favourite for lovers of watersports.
For a taste sensation, stop by Dois Passos, on your way back from Praia de Ancao. This revered fish restaurant is said to be one of the best seafood restaurants in the Algarve.
Further along the same stretch of sand sit Praia do Ancao, Praia de Garrao, Praia de Vilamoura and Praia de Quarteira. Praira de Quarteira is a traditional palm tree lined beach with a bustling promenade, bars and cafe.
Praira de Vilamoura is the most vibrant beach of the group. Close to Quarteira Harbour and the Marina, Praira de Vilamoura gets busy with holidaymakers and families enjoying watersports, the shoreline, beachside restaurants and bars.
For the most unspoilt beach in the area, head to Praia do Almargem which is located by the Ribeira do Almargem river - a stunning area inhabited by an awesome variety of unique, often rare, birds, plants and flowers.
Best local attractions:
Waterparks are a must for any family holiday in the Algarve. There are lots to choose from, although Slide and Splash is widely agreed to be the best with an award-winning selection of slides, chutes, restaurants, animal shows and pools suitable for all ages.
Aquashow Family Park is another top choice nearby, with paddling pools, a water rollercoaster, slides, animal shows, amusement rides and restaurants.
One of the Algarve's top attractions is the Ria Formosa Natural Park.
Stretching for 60km along the coast, the nature reserve consists of wetlands, marshes, islands and lagoons that are home to a huge array of fascinating wildlife, including beautiful rare birds, plants and marine life. There are also many trails throughout the park for exploration by bike, boat or on foot.
Another top natural attraction is Ponta da Piedade, a collection of magnificent rock formations, each named by locals for their striking resemblance to well-known animals, objects and scenes from everyday life, such as the submarine, cathedral and kissing couple.
Despite its make up of rocky cliffs, Ponta da Piedade is a great viewing point with phenomenal views, as well as caves, coves and grottoes to explore.
Portugal is bursting with history and there are many towns in the local area with world-famous historical sites to explore. For some of the best, head into the nearby towns of Silves or Loule to see masterful Moorish ruins, such as Silves Castle or Capela Nossa Senhora da Conceicao in Loule.
Both towns have magnificent buildings leftover from their Roman, Moorish and medieval past on display, as well as traditional markets and artisan shops to explore.
