There is plenty to do at Vale do Lobo! The lively beachside Praca complex features a host of shops, a nightclub, and no fewer than ten great bars and restaurants for dining out, all of which overlook the beautiful sandy beach. In high seasons there is nightly live music.

Besides the shops the Praca features a variety of restaurants with stunning views of the ocean.

Whether you want to be pampered into submission or to maintain your fitness routine, you will love the extensive range of therapies and amenities at the Wellness Centre; which features the luxury Royal Spa, Beauty Centre and a Fitness facility replete with all the modern equipment and regular classes.

Elsewhere in the resort you can find yoga classes overlooking the ocean, beautiful walks, and a full range of water sports - but perhaps the jewels in the crown of Vale do Lobo are the full featured Tennis Academy and two world-famous golf courses.

For visitors with families, Vale do Lobo has thought of everything. There are different fully-supervised facilities for teenagers and younger children. All of which means the adults are guaranteed some genuine peace and relaxation on their holiday!

FunZone, the special teenager's lounge, has Wifi and games facilities for older teens (16+), which are staffed and maintained. Younger teens (ages 12-16), can visit with a responsible adult.

For younger children, (ages 6 months to 12 years) there is the Kangaroo Club, a 2000m2 fully enclosed play-safe area with a vast array of indoor and outdoor age-specific activities and games, all of which are led and supervised by fully trained staff. 

Vale do Lobo is home to one of the largest tennis academies in Portugal. There are fourteen courts in total, ten featuring hard surfaces and four with synthetic grass, plus other top-class facilities. This venue regularly hosts the annual ATP Seniors Tour and the Portuguese Ladies Open, among other events. Coaching for every level of player is available all year round with the academy's professional coaching staff.

Vale do Lobo boasts not one but two Championship golf courses, the Royal Course and the Ocean Course. Host to the Portuguese Open in 2002 and 2003, these courses were originally designed by Sir Henry Cotton, and updated by American golf architect Rocky Roquemore to feature challenges and stunning vistas that all golfers will relish. The famous par three 16th hole over the cliffs is perhaps one of Europe's most spectacular.

Other facilities include a full-featured driving range, pro shop and tuition at the Golf Academy. Regular competitions and golf packages are available throughout the year.

Praia de Vale do Lobo is a beautiful two kilometre stretch of golden sand on the Atlantic, with red-ochre cliffs and deep green umbrella pine forming a dramatic backdrop to the sand and clear blue water.

Here you can stroll along the shore, rent a sun lounger in the shade of an umbrella and snooze, or swim in the warm ocean during the long summer season. All within easy walking distance of the Praca with its beachside restaurants, bars and changing facilities.
