Crowne Plaza Vilamoura

Crowne Plaza Vilamoura occupies a beachfront position beside the casino and within walking distance of Vilamoura Marina. Its location makes it an appealing base for Vilamoura golf holidays combining local courses, beach time and evenings out.

The hotel is scheduled for extensive renovation from November 2026, with a soft reopening expected in April 2027 as part of its planned transition to InterContinental Vilamoura – Algarve. Please ask us to confirm availability and the facilities operating during your proposed stay.

• A beachfront setting beside Vilamoura Beach

The location is the main reason to consider this hotel. You can build your holiday around golf during the day and marina dining in the evening, with the beach close by for time away from the course. For couples and mixed groups, that gives non-golfers opportunities to explore without joining every golf transfer.

The planned refurbishment makes checking your travel dates especially important. April 2027 is the expected start of a soft reopening, when some facilities and services may become available in stages. Our team can check the latest arrangements before recommending a stay.

If your dates fall within the renovation period, our Vilamoura hotel comparison will help you explore alternative beach, marina and resort locations.
