The Residences at Victoria

Originally built around a small harbour which is now home to the biggest marina in Portugal, capable of berthing more than 1000 vessels, Vilamoura’s mostly privately owned territory has made sure that the town was designed in quite an opulent style. Being one of the most popular and largest single tourist complexes in Europe, Vilamoura is home to six different Golf Courses, including the famous Old Course, a Lawn Bowling Club with two grass greens, a Tennis Centre, a Sports Club, a Shooting Club, 5 and 4 star hotels, tourist apartments, self-catering villas, night clubs, an international casino with glamorous shows and which also hosts the PokerStars Solverde Poker Season, an excellent Riding School and plenty of other leisure facilities. There is also the historic site of Cerro da Vila, where the remnants of an ancient Roman village have been discovered. After the Romans, the village was later occupied by Visigoths and Moorish forces until Christians reconquered the region of the Algarve.
