Timeless memories, with a new sense of modernity, await at the iconic Tivoli Marina Hotel. Located right next to the beach and Vilamoura Marina, the setting is unrivalled, with close proximity to a wide range of shops, restaurants, bars, and scenarios of natural beauty. Newly renovated rooms and suites gleam with lightness and contemporary elegance, offering sweeping views of the marina or ocean to inspire.

Extensive leisure facilities for every type of traveller include four indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Tivoli Spa, Tivoli Shape gym, dedicated family-friendly services and spaces, and Portugal’s first Purobeach - a chic yet laidback concept, where days can be spent basking on a lounger on the golden sands of Praia de Vilamoura, or poolside hidden away amidst lush gardens.

Golden days drift leisurely by basking by the pool, enjoying the fresh flavours of the Mediterranean or savouring delicate afternoon delights at Glee Boutique Café. Evenings are equally indulgent, with an eclectic gastronomic selection that features premium steaks at Pepper’s Steakhouse, signature cocktails overlooking the marina at The Argo Cocktail Bar, and much more. Further afield, the beauty of the Algarve beckons, whether adventures at land or sea, in the famed Ria Formosa, or golfing on one of the region’s many award-winning greens.

The closest airport is Faro International Airport (FAO) located 24km from Tivoli Marina Hotel. 

The most convenient way to reach the hotel is via taxi, the journey time is 30 minutes. There is a taxi rank immediately outside the arrivals hall on the right hand side. The fee is usually €30 - €40 on the meter. 
Insight: a 7 seater taxi will cost 20% more, so if you're travelling alone - skip this one in the queue. 

A cheaper alternative is to use Uber or Bolt, the collection point is in the short term parking zone "Kiss & Fly" outside the arrivals hall on the left hand side. The fee is usually €20 - €30. 
Insight: during busy periods the wait time can be long. If you select "comfort" class, the ride will be a little more expensive with a shorter waiting time. 

We do not recommend public transport, as the route is time consuming and buses are not frequent. 
However please find the breakdown of instructions below: 

- Number 16 bus from Faro Airport to Faro Bus Station
- This journey takes 20 minutes and costs €2.50
- Bus frequency is approximately every 30 minutes
- Then take the number 9 bus from Faro Bus Station to Vilamoura 
- This journey takes 50 minutes and costs €5.40 
- Bus frequency is approximately every 60 minutes
