Why Vilamoura ?
Everything you need to train at your best. Everything you want when training is over.
Located in the Marina de Vilamoura, on Portugal’s southern coast, Vilamoura Sailing combines outstanding sailing conditions, professional infrastructure and dedicated support in one of Europe’s most attractive year-round destinations.
Just five minutes from the slipway, sailors reach open water and a wide range of reliable wind and sea conditions suitable for multiple sailing classes.
On shore, teams have access to a 7,000 sqm secure boat park, coach RIBs and training equipment, long-term storage and a permanent team dedicated to supporting the logistics of each training programme.
Everything else is close by. Accommodation, gyms, restaurants, supermarkets, beaches and other essential services are all within easy reach, allowing sailors and coaches to focus on what brought them here: training and performance.
Beyond sailing
Modern, lively and international, Vilamoura has grown around its iconic marina to become one of the Algarve’s leading sports and lifestyle destinations.
With over 300 days of sunshine per year, Vilamoura combines two exceptional beaches with championship golf courses, equestrian facilities, cycling and outdoor sports, spas and a wide choice of restaurants, cafés and leisure options.
Easy access through Faro International Airport, just around 25 minutes away, connects Vilamoura to major European cities and makes it particularly well suited to international teams and extended training camps.
