Whether you're dipping a toe in the water or hunting for treasures on the shore, Vau Beach is the perfect place to spend time with the family. Why not put a picnic basket together and make a day of it?

Located in Portimão, this stretch of coastline is well worth a look. But you'll find a great deal more to see and do in this area. Rocha Beach, Carvoeiro Beach, and Slide and Splash Water Park aren't too far away from Vau Beach.

This was a wonderful place to stay and our room was awesome! Very nice features. Close to the beach and the Seven Hanging Valley trail. Gorgeous. Breakfast was excellent. It was a remote location so less people and tourists which was great but also far from other amenities. For example, at least 15 minute drive to get to other restaurants. Food at Vila Alba was very expensive. Check-in staff were great.
