We have chosen to base ourselves in the marina town of Vilamoura on the beautiful Algarve coast, but there are lots of options in the surrounding towns of Albufeira, Loulé and Olhos de Agua, all a short cab ride away, as is Faro Airport.
We are working with a travel agency in the Algarve, Eco Viagens, that offer good rates in terms of accommodation, airport transfers, excursions, water park entrance tickets, and car hire.

They have provided the following list and rates for accommodation around Vilamoura for June 2025, should you wish to book your stay through them:
