Faro Airport (FAO)
We recommend staying in Quarteira or Vilamoura. That’s where most of the wedding weekend activities will be, and it’s also closest to the wedding shuttle service. Both areas have great beaches, lots of restaurants and bars, and plenty to do during the day and night. There are plenty of bus options from Faro Airport to the Quarteira area. Also, Uber and taxi services are available.
Date: Sunday, 7th June 2026 Where: Vau Terrece, near Praia do Vau in Portimão, Algarve Portugal. Ceremony start time: 3:45 PM Party end time: 02:00 AM
Guest shuttle provided! 🚌 We want everyone to be able to enjoy themselves, so there will be a bus shuttle service provided from "Terminal Rodoviário Quarteira". Link to Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/bxddEt1sTLw31Xw16 Meet at 2:30PM. The shuttle will leave at 2:45PM. If you miss the shuttle, you will sadly need to make your own way there. Prefer to make your own way? - From Quarteira and Vilamoura, it takes about 1 hour (60 mins) to get to the wedding venue in Portimao via car on the A22 highway (no tolls). End of the night: Return bus shuttle service will be provided; buses will depart from the venue at 02:00 AM for "Terminal Rodoviário Quarteira" only.
The whole wedding will take place at Vau Terrace i.e. the ceremony, welcome reception, dinner and dancing. We have the whole place to ourselves! The venue offers a stunning cliff-top setting and panoramic ocean views. We will be high up for those that may suffer from a little bit of vertigo but don't worry, all safety measures are in place to make it fun for all.
Yes, there is some parking at the venue and on the adjacent road (public). Please consider that it is late spring and a Sunday in the Algarve so it may be busy. We recommend planning with some time in advance to ensure you find a space close by.
Beach semi-formal wedding attire We want everyone to feel good and be comfortable. Consider breathable fabrics, bright and/or light colours, and styles suitable for sand and coastal weddings. You will be outside 90% of the time! Hot during the day under the sun and cooler in the evening with a sea breeze. Consider bringing a light jacket/cardigan. AND don't forget your sunscreen (SPF). Wear comfortable shoes - there will be sand, artificial grass and tiled floors.
Please don't... leave that for the beautiful bride. 😏 (Alejandro clearly wrote this!)
