PLANALTO is a 25 minute drive form Faro airport along the 125 Estrade leading to Vilamoura Avenue XXI.

The development of some 70 villas was tastefully completed 25 years ago. Set among pine woods and mature gardens this site has become a haven for birds, butterflies and tranquillity. Breath taking walkways are draped with Bouainvilleas of many colours.

The complex has a large heated pool and an excellent restaurant / bar open all day serving Portuguese and English food. Local shops, bars and restaurants are a 5 minute walk. Bicycle and car hire are very reasonable. Roads, directions and signage are good.

PLANALTO is approximately a five minute drive from Vilamoura centre and is surrrounded by 5 championship golf courses (the Old Course, Millennium, Laguna, Pinal and Victoria), all within a mile's radius.

A 20 minute stroll on level ground will take you to one of the largest marina's in europe surrounded by many cafes, bars, restaurants and shops, not to mention the award winning Falesia beach which is only a 10 minute stroll down the road, adjacent to a natural wildlife site; host to many rare species birds, flora and fauna.
