Events

The Vila Vita Fine Wines & Food Fair promises a week of unsurpassable gastronomy and heavenly cuisine, paired with the finest wines to be found on our planet. The event only happens once every two years and is almost certainly Europe’s, if not the world's, most anticipated culinary extravaganza. It's not just the food that's amazing, five star VILA VITA Parc is set amid expansive and lush gardens, perched by the Algarve coast and with magnificent ocean views. 

Listening to jazz, chatting to the musicians and appreciating a good wine while finding out how it is produced from the producer or oenologist... all of these are possible at one of these eight jazz concerts featuring artistic groups who have been doing important work at both national and international level.

Organised group rides that roll out from The Bike Shed three mornings a week.  If you’re a local rider or here for a holiday, enjoy a social spin with The Campus in Quinta do Lago. Every Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday from 09:00.

Now you can enjoy the best of ballet and opera performances in the Algarve! Thanks to the live broadcasts of favourite works from London and Moscow at the NOS Cinemas at MAR Shopping.

The 2nd edition of this cultural programme is packed with music, dance and theatre performances, plus exhibitions, activities involving the local heritage, gastronomy and cinema.
