Vilamoura is built around its marina, one of the largest in Portugal, lined with restaurants, hotels and the casino; behind it lie some of the Algarve's best-known golf courses. Booked with Zonetransfers, a car is ready for you at Faro's single terminal for the drive to Vilamoura, from €35, whatever the hour.
From the airport the road heads for Quarteira and Vilamoura, using the A22 or the N125 depending on traffic; your driver drops you at your hotel by the marina or at your apartment. Count on some 25 km and 25 min on the road, for a car fare from €35. Zonetransfers has your vehicle ready before you land.
