3A First For FootbAllers At VAle do lobo

Real Madrid Training Camp at Vale do Lobo in June 2008

Vale do Lobo really is a footballer’s playground – its exclusive location, unrivalled facilities and services, attention to detail and sporting expertise have made it the first choice for a number of premier league and international football teams.

The resort has extensive knowledge and experience in providing personalised training camps with a highly flexible and dedicated approach. Its location in the sun-blessed Algarve and diverse leisure amenities make it perfect for players to bring their families, allowing them to combine off-season training with a family holiday. It is this perfect balance of re-laxation with exercise combined with a refreshing change of scenery, that has worked wonders for the energy and motiva-tion of a number of high-profile teams; including Real Madrid, Manchester United, Sunderland, Cardiff City and the England National team, among others.

Vale do Lobo boasts a superb football pitch and a state-of-the-art gymnasium, perfect for the training needs of the play-ers and the resort’s fantastic beach and two beautiful golf courses have also proven popular for training purposes. With 25 sports available there is plenty for each player to do outside of training and players’ families can enjoy a number of activities from sunbathing on the beach or a pampering session at the Royal Spa, to a cruise along the coastline, mini-golf, shopping or for the children a visit to the Funzone or childrens club. Add to this plenty of evening entertainment, an ex-cellent choice of cuisine at the resort’s 15 restaurants, a 24-hour security and outstanding accommodation in truly unique settings; and you have without a doubt a winning formula.

Football practice made easy!
