Vale do Lobo
Vale do Lobo, the upmarket golf and leisure resort in Portugal’s Algarve, has grown up over the last 45 years to become one of the largest and best-established luxury developments in Europe.
Situated just 20 minutes from Faro International Airport, the resort is approximately three times the size of Monaco and offers a unique haven for homeowners and the perfect destination for a holiday.
Leisure facilities are second to none including two magnificent 18-hole championship golf courses - Vale do Lobo has played host to the Portuguese Open twice in recent years - and a tennis Academy with 14 courts - the largest tennis facility in Portugal, where the likes of Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Pat Cash and Jim Courier have competed in the annual Grand Champions Tennis Tournament held each August.
Vale do Lobo also has its own 2km sandy beachfront, and an extensive choice of restaurants, bars and shops. The resort now also has its first ever spa. The Royal Spa opened in October 2006 and features ten treatment rooms, sauna, hammam and indoor pool.
In addition to offering beauty, massage and pampering treatments, the Royal Spa’s mission is to address each client’s individual health objectives. Weight loss, skin conditions, fitness, stress management, anti-ageing, detoxification, muscular skeletal problems and chronic illness can all be aided by the spa’s highly qualified and skilled therapists. The extensive menu of treatments includes facial, body, massage, hydro and holistic therapies, physiotherapy, fitness programmes, aqua workouts, and a selection of med-spa options.
Scattered throughout the resort are over 1,000 beautiful villas and apartments. Vale do Lobo features some 44 different property designs from spacious one-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom detached villas with private pool, garden and tennis court.
