Tennis - There are 3 all weather tennis courts on site, two together and another a short distance away. During the main season a coach is frequently present and guests may book into the Maxi Club, ( for those 17 years and upwards and families) or the Mini Club (for children from 6 to 16), for 3 sessions of coaching per week. There are also separate sessions for Ladies, Mens and Mixed Doubles play. Details/registration is in Reception.
We welcome tennis groups during the low season, when the weather here is usually ideal for tennis. Please let us know if a coach is required and we will arrange it.
Throughout the year the courts, rackets and balls are also available to hire on a casual basis when the courts are not being used for organised activities.

Scuba Diving - For the main season, Scuba Tour will be running a diving school where, for a modest fee, you can learn and experience the basics of scuba diving through two introductory courses and then, if you enjoy that experience as we expect you to, and would like to take it further, you can enrol on more advanced courses which are internationally recognised. Scuba diving is available to all from the age of 10 upwards. For the more advanced courses you will need a medical certificate of fitness. For more details of the courses and requirements please go to the ScubaTour website by clicking here. Special rates are available out of season, please contact Scubatour for details.

Swimming - At Vila Senhora da Rocha we have 3 swimming pools, 2 outdoor, including a salt water pool, and one covered pool, plus a childrens' paddling pool. There are also 2 beaches from which to swim, the Senhora da Rocha Beach which is reached by steps down the cliff, and the Fisherman's Beach, which is the other side of the promontory and can either be reached via a tunnel from the Senhora Beach, or by a short walk down the road.

Golf - Golf can be played the whole year round in the Algarve and Vila Senhora da Rocha has negotiated special green fees for guests at the beautiful 18 hole Salgados golf course. This is situated just beyond Armação de Pêra and makes much use of its closeness to the sea, with water being a major feature on the course. A handicap certificate is required. To get a better idea of the Salgados course visit their website by clicking here. There are many other courses around, several of which are just a short drive away.

Walking - The Algarve is a beautiful place to walk with many walks close to Vila Senhora da Rocha. In fact, one that is mentioned in several of the books available on walks in the Algarve is one between Vila Senhora and Benagil, and in "Algarve Let's Walk" it quotes "To many this is the most picturesque stretch of coast in the whole Algarve". Although you are welcome to come and walk at any time, organised walks only take place during the low season. Please ask for details.

Fishing - Fishing along the Algarve is very popular with the Portuguese and you will regularly find locals fishing from the cliffs and beaches. Try this or if you wish to get involved in deep sea fishing then boats from Vilamoura or Portimao will offer you the opportunity.

Water Therapy / Massage - Water Therapy sessions are held regularly in the covered pool under the supervision of Jorge Nunes, a trained water therapist and personal trainer. These sessions help ease strains on muscles and joints and may be supplemented with massage in our massage studio. This is ideal to assist in recuperation from sports injuries. Please check with reception for availability.
