Marina de Vilamoura, nestled in the heart of Vilamoura within Portugal’s stunning Algarve region, is more than just a marina – it's an experience. As the largest marina in Portugal with 1,000 berths, it boasts a renowned reputation for luxury, innovation, and unparalleled maritime adventures. Founded in the early 1970s by Artur Cupertino de Miranda on the site of Quinta Morgado, a vast 1600-hectare farm, Vilamoura has evolved from a visionary resort concept to an internationally acclaimed destination.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024, Marina de Vilamoura continues to set the standard for excellence, recently being awarded 'International Superyacht Marina of the Year' and voted the best Portuguese marina for the thirteenth consecutive year by Publituris Portugal Trade Awards. Steeped in a heritage of pioneering spirit, this is where your Algarve nautical journey begins.
