Food & wine

Spending time alone as a couple is an important part of a successful relationship, but it can be easy to forget this when you have children, work, and family and friends to consider.

One of the best ways to find time for yourselves is to disappear for a romantic break somewhere away from the stresses and distractions of everyday life, and simply enjoy each other’s company.

Vilamoura in the Algarve offers the perfect place to do this as it is full of fantastic things for couples to see and do together. That means that the two of you can spend some quality time doing things that you both love.

Here we share some wonderful ideas for a romantic weekend in Vilamoura that we think are perfect for couples.

Ensure that you have chosen a hotel that is ideal for a romantic getaway that offers all that you will need to be able to relax and unwind throughout your stay. The Four Seasons Vilamoura Resort is the optimal choice as it offers plenty of leisure options that you can enjoy with your beloved one. Spa treatments, a heated indoor pool, jacuzzi and saunas are waiting for you.

Once you arrive at the Four Seasons Vilamoura Resort, spend the first evening relaxing in your room, explore the hotel to see what there is on offer, and have a drink or two at the bar. For ultimate luxury, order your evening meal via room service so that you don’t need to venture out again, and remember to request wine and dessert so that you can truly indulge yourselves.

If your room has a balcony, sit together under the stars and talk into the early hours of the morning to reignite that spark between you.

On your first full day in Vilamoura, treat yourselves to a lie-in! There is no need to rush about to get to work or take the kids to school. Don’t get up until you feel totally refreshed!

Once you enjoyed a delicious breakfast – perhaps while still in bed – put on some comfortable clothes and head to the beautiful beach where you can take a long walk hand in hand. There are no time restrictions, so feel free to stop at a beach bar or two along the way for a drink and to have some lunch with sea views.

When you are ready to be pampered, head back to the hotel, treat yourselves to a massage for two. After relaxing together in your room, get ready for a night out eating, drinking, and dancing at the lively marina.

Vilamoura is the perfect place for couples to spend a weekend together. So, why not book a surprise trip here for you and your partner and start planning your romantic getaway today?
