Boasting some of the best cuisine in the Algarve, Vale do Lobo offers an extensive choice of restaurants serving dishes from across the globe including Asian, French and Italian to Portuguese seafood specialities. The resort is also home to some of the hottest party spots in the region, with live music and resident DJs spinning the latest sounds as the sun goes down over the ocean.

Venturing outside of Vale do Lobo

There’s really no need to venture out of the resort, but if you fancy a change, Almancil is just a few minutes’ drive away. The town boasts a wealth of restaurants, cafes and shops, including the popular Apolonia supermarket, which has fresh meat, fish and deli counters and a bakery, and is well stocked with ingredients for just about every type of cuisine.

Drive to São Lourenço village, on the eastern border of Almancil, to visit the Church of São Lourenço, one of the few Algarvian churches to have survived the 1755 earthquake intact. Or take a short trip west to Vilamoura and enjoy a lazy lunch at one of the many venues around the 1000+ berth marina.

There’s no shortage of shopping malls in the area either. Algarve Shopping at Guia is about half an hour’s drive and has two shopping levels featuring leading Portuguese and international brands, as well as restaurants and a nine-screen multiplex cinema showing the latest movies in English and Portuguese.
