Vilamoura Holidays 2025/2026

If you're enjoying a holiday to Vilamoura, you'll fly into Faro airport which is a 30 minute drive from the town, (about €35 each way in a taxi) making it one of the more convenient resorts in the Algarve. Most of the main and regional airports, like Newcastle, Southampton and Leeds Bradford, have direct flights to Faro, mainly during the summer months (if you are planning on visiting Portugal during the winter, there may be limited options because it's out of the typical holiday season).

Coach Transfers

Pre-organised coach transfers are another great option, which may also be included within the cost of your holiday depending on who you book with. Coach transfers may take a little longer due to the extra stops en-route but can be a much more affordable way to get to your hotel.

Car Hire

Hiring a car is a great option if you want to explore the Algarve. You can book in advance through a variety of partners and pick up the car at the airport, or you could also organise car hire in Vilamoura like around the marina or at selected hotels.

Public Transport

Taking the bus is an option, however you'll need to take a bus into Faro town and change at the bus station, before heading on to Vilamoura. The cost is just a few Euros but is a bit of lengthy journey, especially if you are travelling with young children and luggage.

Tour Operators

All of the big UK tour operators like TUI, Jet2holidays, easyJet Holidays and Hays Travel offer ABTA and ATOL protected package holidays to Vilamoura. If you have certain flights in mind with Jet2 or another holiday airline, it may be cheaper to book your package directly through their website (as they often offer bigger discounts to customers flying on their flight).

What's included within flight inclusive holidays can vary from company to company, so always check to see what is and isn't included. Parts of your trip like airport transfers and board basis upgrades may need to be added on at an extra cost.
