Marina Plaza by Garvetur

In the heart of Vilamoura, a 4-minute walk from Vilamoura Beach with picturesque views over Vilamoura Marina. These self-catering, family-friendly marina-view apartments sit in the preferred part of town, minutes from the Roman ruins at Cerro da Vila and a short drive to top golf courses (Oceânico Pinhal ~1.8 km). Faro Airport is about 30 minutes away.

The 150 apartments mix wooden furniture, tiled floors and large windows with private balconies that frame marina views. Each unit has a living area with digital TV, a kitchenette or kitchen (microwave, fridge, stovetop) and practical extras like a washing machine. Safes and baby cots are available for an extra charge. Housekeeping is limited (once per stay for shorter stays; more frequent for longer bookings); note reception operates from a nearby Garvetur desk with set check‑in hours and potential late‑check‑in fees. A seasonal deposit may apply for stays that include Dec 31.

Wake up to marina views and step out to bike-ride or rent a car on the spot. On-site conveniences include free parking, an ATM, a gift shop and tour/ticket assistance. Laundry and dry-cleaning services, luggage storage and a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) keep things effortless for longer stays.

A business center and on-site ATM/banking services are available, plus luggage storage and round‑the‑clock airport shuttle service for an extra fee.

These apartments are built for self-catering with kitchenettes and dining tables in-room. A lively stretch of shops, restaurants and bars is within easy walking distance—think Portuguese cuisine and fresh Algarve seafood just around the marina.
