No Surge Pricing. No Toll Fees Added Later. No "Airport Tax" Surprise.
The price you see now is exactly what you pay your driver. We include motorway tolls, night charges, luggage assistance, golf bag transport, and child seats in every booking. Unlike public taxis that add 20% after 10pm, our fixed fare covers 24/7/365.
We monitor your flight in real-time. Your booking includes 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing. Need a little more time at baggage claim? Just send us a quick text on WhatsApp within that first hour, and we automatically extend your tolerance by another 30 minutes. No stress, no hidden fees.
Our rates are regulated and transparent. Unlike ride-hailing apps that double their fees when a flight wave lands, your $AT Travel price is locked the moment you book.
Why Visit Vilamoura?
Europe's largest private tourist complex: a luxury marina, five championship golf courses, and the kind of polish that attracts superyacht captains and Formula 1 drivers.
The Marina
825 berths, 30+ waterfront restaurants, superyacht central since the 1970s
Golf Courses
5 championship courses: Victoria, Old Course, Millennium, Laguna, Pinhal
Beaches
Praia da Falesia with its ochre cliffs is a 10-min drive from any hotel
Casino & Nightlife
Marina-side cocktail bars, casino shows, and club lounges until 3 am
Vilamoura is the epitome of luxury tourism in Portugal and the crown jewel of the Algarve's Golden Triangle. At its heart lies Europe's largest private marina, home to over 825 berths hosting superyachts, sailing vessels, and luxury cruisers.
World-Class Golf: Five championship courses — Victoria Golf Course (Algarve's highest-rated), Old Course (opened 1969), Millennium, Laguna, and Pinhal — attract over 300,000 golfers annually. Golf season peaks from October to May when Northern European golfers seek winter sun.
Beyond golf and marina, Vilamoura offers pristine beaches like Praia da Falesia (with dramatic ochre cliffs) and the Vilamoura Casino for evening entertainment. Whether you're arriving for a golfing holiday, a marina-side retreat, or a family beach vacation, Vilamoura offers an unmatched lifestyle experience.
When to visit:
Golf season runs October to April, when northern Europeans escape winter under 17°C coastal sun — green fees spike and hotel rates jump 20-35%. Beach season is May-September, quieter and ideal for marina-side families; Praia da Falesia looks most photogenic in June and September.
Insider tip: The Marina's most coveted dinner tables at MAR or Nosolo Agua are 8-9 pm — book two to three days ahead, but the 6:30 pm sitting is half-empty and serves the same menu. At Victoria Golf Course, weekday tee-offs before 9 am are calmest; later is when the wind picks up across the open back nine.
Your Journey from Faro Airport to Vilamoura
What to expect during your comfortable 30 minute transfer
Route & Duration (~30 Minutes via A22)
Your private transfer from Faro Airport to Vilamoura follows the A22 (Via do Infante) motorway, covering approximately 25 kilometres through the heart of the Algarve. The journey typically takes 30 minutes depending on your final destination — Marina hotels (Tivoli, Marriott) are closer, while golf resorts further inland (Anantara, Hilton) take slightly longer.
Departing Faro Airport, your driver heads north on the A22. Within 10 minutes, you'll pass Loulé on your right — a historic market town worth visiting for its famous Saturday market. As you approach Vilamoura, the landscape transforms: rolling hills dotted with golf course fairways, luxury villa developments, and clusters of umbrella pines.
What to Expect During Your Transfer
Your professional driver will monitor your flight arrival in real-time, so they arrive when you land. Once you clear customs at Faro Airport, head to the Arrivals Hall — your booking includes 60 minutes of free waiting time after your plane touches down. If you need extra time at baggage claim, just WhatsApp us within that first hour for a 30-minute extension.
All our vehicles are fully equipped with:
Pick-Up Procedure at Faro Airport
After collecting your luggage, proceed to the main Arrivals Hall (not Departures — common mistake!)
Look for your driver at Car Park 4 (Licensed Tour Operators Area) — holding a sign with your name, wearing AT Travel branded attire.
You'll also receive a WhatsApp message with your driver's live location before you even land.
Confirm your booking reference, your driver loads the golf bags and luggage, and you're on holiday. No queues. No stress. No hidden costs.
Golfer's Pro Tip: Mention your golf equipment when booking so we send a vehicle with appropriate boot space. Comfort (Skoda Kodiaq) and VIP (Mercedes E-Class) both accommodate multiple golf bags.
