Vau Beach Tours

A beach with people sunbathing, umbrellas, and a rocky cliff.
A sandy beach with gentle waves and clear blue water.
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.

Amazing hotel. The best in Alvor at a completely different level. Superb pool area no rushing for sunbeds and pools x 3 are amazing. Right on the beach front this place is and the most chilled experience for a holiday. Will definitely return.
