Location
About the surrounding area of Villa BaricoNestled near the Quinta do Lago luxury resort, the gorgeous golf courses of the resort are set amongst fragrant pine trees and fabulous, shimmering lakes. The stunning 18 hole, Par 72, San Lorenzo Golf Course is very popular. Quinta Shopping and Bougainvillea Plaza are at the entrance of Quinta do Lago and offer gourmet restaurants, bars, cafes, boutiques and a supermarket.
Guests staying at Villa Barico will certainly enjoy the sophistication and glitz of Vilamoura. The marina is full of glossy luxury yachts as well as an incredible range of classy restaurants, bars and cafes. It is a great spot for dinner or just to people watch. The nightlife thrives at the many bars and clubs with the best DJ’s and the Vilamoura Casino promises to get the adrenaline running. There are so many shopping opportunities from famous brands to local crafts. Two fabulous beaches run either side of the marina. From the east, the sands of Vilamoura Beach extend to Quarteira and to the west, the stunning Falesia Beach stretches for miles to Olhos de Aqua.
The islands that are part of the Ria Formosa Reserve are beautiful and are definitely worth a visit by ferry or boat. Tavira is very seductive with charming hipped roofs outlining the sky in a unique way along the narrow streets. You can catch a ferry over to Ilha Tavira.
Loule is a traditional Portuguese market town with a characterful historic centre. It has such a genuine atmosphere, especially in the Arabic inspired covered market. There are stalls selling regional handicrafts, local produce and freshly caught fish. It is a fantastic place to stock the villa kitchen and purchase some souvenirs at the same time! The busy shopping streets, tree-lined plazas and warren of alleyways have barely altered since the medieval period. The ancient castle and Gothic Igreja Matriz church are within the alluring historic centre. On Saturday mornings, the town becomes even more alive with two additional markets, the farmers market and the gypsy market.

ABOUT THE ALGARVE
Though most people tend to see the Algarve as all about the beaches and a holiday on the Med, there’s far much more to it than that.
But while you’re enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Algarve, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we’ve put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Barico is a paradise for children. The luxury villa has so much to entertain them, from the simple pleasures of playing in the pool and gardens to the pool table and table tennis. The jacuzzi will surely be a hit!
The beaches stretching from Faro all along the coast to Vilamoura and beyond are amazing. There is so much to do. Watersports on offer include sailing, paddleboarding, jet-skiing, parasailing and lots more. Algarve Xcite Watersports operate from Vilamoura Marina and offer parasailing, dolphin tours, fishing trips and jet ski adventures. How incredible to go home with memories of seeing dolphins playing in the water or learning to jet ski! The swash-buckling water activities of the Algarve are renowned. Families can also charter yachts from the marina.
Aquashow Park at Quarteira is a top attraction of the area with the biggest water coaster in Europe. There are many water-based attractions as well as rollercoasters and shows. Aqualand and Slide and Splash are two other amazing water parks further down the coast.
Zoomarine is a theme park combining rich marine biodiversity with crazy rides and dolphin and seal shows. You can even swim with the dolphins, which would be so memorable!
Pinetrees Riding is very close to the villa. They offer tuition for riders from 4 years old to 70 in the pinewoods, beside the salt flats and the beach area in the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve. There are several others closer to Vilamoura as well.
