Near the marina lies the site where Vilamoura was first established—Cerro da Vila—a Roman villa complex dating back to the 1st century AD. Excavations have uncovered mosaic-lined residences, bathhouses, fish-salting tanks, and an elaborate plumbing system. The adjacent recently renovated Museu de Cerro da Vila reveals its 5,000-year history, from Bronze Age graves to rare Roman and Islamic-period artefacts.
Open until the early hours of the morning, Casino Vilamoura is a big part of Vilamoura's nightlife scene. Here you'll find two restaurants, a dance club, and the usual selection of table games, as well as more than 500 slot machines. Dress is smart-casual, and you must be 18 to enter.
