General
:
Vale do Lobo is an award winning resort and we believe it's a safe, self-contained complex and a fantastic location for a family holiday. Amenities include the fabulous new Royal Spa, (worth a visit just to look round!) a medical centre, supermarket, bank, chemist, hairdressers, newsagent and a variety of other shops, with more extensive shopping available a few minutes drive away in Almancil. The Praca in Vale do Lobo (main area close to the beach) provides a variety of restaurants and tasteful bars and there are lots of friendly, family-run Portuguese restaurants just a short drive away.
We are also near the fantastic 14 court Tennis Academy and there is access to a variety of watersports, horse-riding and go-karting just a short drive away.
