Activities
For the young at heart there is plenty to see and do and most within easy reach. From water parks to karting, children will find this whole experience amazing, thus making your holiday an enjoyable one for the whole family.
Slide & Splash!
Located very near, you can just about see it from the villa - turn left at the end of the golf course!
Slide and splash boasts numerous fun slides ranging from the very easy to the close your eyes and hope it's over quickly ones! The BLACK HOLE, is the only one of its kind in Portugal, and the prominent attraction for most visitors. For the less adventurous there is an under fives area. The park is surrounded by grass which is mostly used for picnics, although there are shops serving light snacks, drinks and ice-cream. A great day out for all the family. This is the best on the Algarve.
Aqualand
Aqualand is located on the EN125 near Armacao de Pera. Don't miss the BANZAI BOGGAN. Try to surf on your board after descending a nearly vertical drop of 23 meters and gaining a dizzy speed, or try out the KAMIKAZE, a breathtaking ride which takes you from 92 meters in the sky to ground zero in 4 seconds. Aqualand is an older park than Slide and Splash, but still has enough challenges for all the family. It is approximately 15 minutes away to the east.
Zoomarine
Zoo marine occupies 8 hectares, where with one single ticket, the visitor has access to an area of leisure, entertainment and education. Adults and children alike will soon discover the mysteries of marine life in a day full of surprises. There is also a fun park to entertain the children or if you fancy you can swim with the dolphins for an extra 135 euros plus 8 euros per spectator. Good birds of prey displays and swimming pools. Lots to see and do here but the costs can add up quickly.
Krazy World
In the summer season when temperatures soar, Algarve Zoo put on exciting live shows, during which professional trainers demonstrate the power of some of the Amazon's most dangerous creatures. Expect to come face to face with a croc, snake, tortoise, iguana and many more animals, or hang out at the adventure play ground.
Karting - Algarve Motor Park

Newly opened formula 1 and MotoGP standard race circuit. Already hosting a World Superbike round in early November. The circuit is only 25 minutes from the villa; it includes a huge karting circuit, one of the best in Europe.
The track is a replica of the former Brazilian F1 racing track Jacarapegua, inaugurated by Ayrton Senna, so it's quite a technical circuit. There is also a Western Theme Park, with cafeteria, mechanical bull and other diverse machines. Open all year it's a great place to entertain family and friends.
