One of the best Algarve resorts, Albufeira has wonderful beaches, turquoise waters and the dramatic, rocky coastline that makes this part of Portugal so special.
Naturally, life here is all about sun, sand and sea. The most popular Albufeira beach is Fisherman’s Beach and you can still see locals bringing in the fishing boats every morning - if you’re up early enough, that is. Tunnel Beach is accessed through an opening in the cliff, and both offer a variety of watersports.
Further up the coast is Albufeira Marina, from where sightseeing boat trips depart, while east of the town is the 9-hole Balaia golf course. On the way here, you pass Arias de Sao João, home to The Strip where the best bars and clubs are found, many staying open until the early hours.
The Old Town of Albufeira is more peaceful, and its cobbled streets house Moorish buildings and some great restaurants serving fresh fish. If you fancy a day trip from Albufeira, the 12th-century remains of Moorish Almoáda Castle in Paderne can be visited for free.
The town is around 45 minutes’ drive from Faro Airport and there is a fantastic range of beach resorts, small B&Bs and Albufeira apartments on Booking.com.

The hotel rooms are in desperate need of renovation.
The hotel rooms are in desperate need of renovation. I didn’t even have a working electrical plug in the bathroom, there’s no full length mirror in the room and the hallway was not vacuumed on a regular basis. They rely heavily on the beach and pool areas otherwise I can’t imagine anyone wanting to stay here.

Didnt like the area at all, its only fit for groups of lads and maybe girls, but if I was a woman I wouldnt feel safe there.
The streets are horrendous with bricks and loose rubble evrywhere, it looks completly run down, nothing attractive about it at all.

Albufeira is a lovely beach town with a lot of kid friendly activities and nice options for the grown ups like cliff hiking too. The beaches are excellent. There are a lot of restaurants in town and various cuisines. Multiple beach resorts make it a perfect location for family vacations. Its very easy to reach from Faro airport or train station. In town its easy to move around via Uber etc, but best to have a rental car, there is parking easily available everywhere. We stayed at the Alfagar Village and it was a very good experience.

Albufeira is very hilly so you should factor in taxi's etc to get around if you have any mobility issues, particulary heading west from the centre.
We went in the first week in May and it was, we thought very busy and certainly very noisy in the centre from the.
It seems to be a magnet for Stag and Hen parties and/or large groups of men / women of all ages who like to party. We used our Albufeira as a base and explored other local Towns on foot and using Taxi's.
A good party place if that floats your boat if you are loking for quiet evenings for food and drink then maybe choose elsewhere- there are lots of places on the Algarve that we have stayed in/visited.

Loved it all, great holiday all round for families/stags/hens/couples/all ages.
Boat trip along Algarve into caves with private beach BBQ amazing and all day event.
Staff everywhere really friendly and courteous.
Food great, enough choice for all palettes.
Fantastic stay, this Hotel re-defines 5-star in the Algarve and is up there with Hotels you would find in Dubai. Décor is stylish, fresh and super cool. Vibe is of the scale and all staff are super friendly. Food variety is excellent, of high quality and well priced. I liked the location as it is privately tucked away but still close enough to old town and the main beaches. If you want a high end place to chill relax that offers great value, the Hotel is a must.
Location was ideally located 2 mins walk to a big indoor supermarket and 15 mins walk to either Old Town or New Town, the rooms are clean, very spacious and practical, the sun loungers are comfortable and the kids pool was great for the babys & toddlers, the staff and local Portuguese are lovely and welcoming, lots of very good restaurants in the old town, would highly recommend this hotel and a holiday to Albufeira! 🙂
Great place to stay , pools were fabulous , Amazing beach Falésia is only a 10 minute walk , Rooms were amazing lovely and spacious and we had a nice balcony looking out at the pool and lovely bathroom & kitchen. music on downstairs was lovely in the evening. great activities on for both adults & kids all day at the hotel. Old Town Albufeira is about a 10-15 min drive only €7/8 in an Uber .
Huge amount of space for the value.
my single room included a separate kitchen and living room, with furnished patio overlooking the pool. it’s literally a one-bedroom apartment. immaculately clean and the location can’t be beat for the value. 6 minute walk downhill to the sea shore, from there you can walk to old town Albufeira along the shoreline. little markets right next door.
Spotless hotel , best self catering we have ever stayed in. Gorgeous pools no problem getting sunbeds. Very laid back. Only 20 min walk to the strip and 5 euro in a local taxi to old town. Big balcony, super pool and sea view. Lovely walk 15 mins to local beach which is fab. Great for kids. We would definitely recommend this place we couldn't really fault it.
The location is next to unbeatable. 2 minutes to the beach and under 10 mins to old town Albufeira. Staying during shoulder season for €60 a night was great too. Beds were nothing to complain about either and the terrace was GREAT. wish we had the ocean view but having a street terrace was just fine too. The rooms were cleaned daily so that was nice.
Hotel was absolutely amazing! There was so much to do within the hotel & the location was so close to many tourist attractions such as, the old town, Praia da our strip! The staff were so friendly and efficient & the rooms were modern spacious! All inclusive was so beneficial as well! Really enjoyed my stay - I will definitely be back soon!
A real Epic stay.
The ranking of 5 stars is well deserved. The entire hotel, the land around and the walk to the beach is just perfect.
Location is extremely good having everything in vicinity in case you feel that some things are not suitable for you.
The stuff are paying attention to details and the service they offer is up to standard.
Nice hotel. I guess it was my fault for booking the noisiest place to stay in Portugal. Albuferia seems to be party central and does not shut town at night. So no sleep for a few nights. It was not the hotels fault.
Very nice front desk staff.
In center of old town.Close to all old town has to offer. Restaurants and bars.
This hotel is like paradise! Pool area is so quiet & beautiful. We were able to relax every day by the pool. Bedrooms are lovely & bed was extremely comfortable! The spa was fantastic, beautiful facilities & the treatment I got done (signature ritual) was heavenly! Ubers were cheap& quick from hotel into Marina/ old town area.
Firstly the location and the view from the taras is amazing. Old town and beach just front of you. There was everything we needed in the apartment. And considering all places that we stayed in Algarve this apartment was best and cheapest. Thats why we thought possibly some surprises waiting for us but nothing negative.
Lovely hotel in perfect location right on the beach and in the old town. Lovely clean spacious rooms with sea view and balcony, looks out on to the beach. Plenty of choice at breakfast, nice lounge and bar area, there is also an indoor pool if you prefer.
A small but nice room with a balcony above Albufeira's Old Town. Even though it's only a short walk from the party mile the room was very quiet. The balcony had a great view over the city and the sea. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Beautiful view very clean, comfy mattress on bed, hotel was right by the beach. Shuttle bus into town . Could walk into Albufeira old town along the beach( sand ,no wooden boardwalk available) Quiet beach in a smallish cove nearby too
Great location for central old town Albufeira. Staff friendly and helpful. Good music by the pool. Would highly recommend the sushi in the hotel restaurant. Great ear plugs if you don’t want to hear the low beats of the nightlife outside.
It's a beautiful boutique hotel in a great location, close to restaurants, beach, grocery, strip and old town. The rooms are immaculate. The staff is friendly. The pool and deck are gorgeous, with a sweeping view of the ocean.
Apartment was large and well presented and had everything you could need. Pictures on site do not do it justice A few minutes walk from the old town and beautiful views and beaches. Also beach towels and umbrella provided.
Clean and tidy, food and drink on site. Reasonably priced. Good quality. Right next door to a supermarket. Walking distance to the strip where the young people go. Old town albufeira 10 min walk.
The location is perfect mid way between the Old Town and The Strip....The staff are amazing the best staff in any hotel /apartment I have ever stayed in.
Amazing view, right on the beach, 2 mins to main square of the old town. Super clean hotel and comfortable room. Staff also very nice and keen to help.
