FAQs about hotels in Albufeira








Sun, Sand and The Strip!

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 have a variety of water sports.

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 a 45 minute drive from Faro Airport and there is a fantastic range of beach resorts, small B&Bs and Albufeira apartments at Booking.com.

    It has a nice air to it but I found it strange because all was for tourists. There were no bookshops for example, or any of the normal shops you find in a place. Eduardo’s is a great restaurant. The tourist train is great but I got lost looking for the blue route. The local buses were good but didn’t go through the centre, just near it. Coming back from the centre the bus stop was on the other side of the road which was confusing if you didn’t know.

    We walked about 10 miles total. Left our hotel in the new district and walked all the way to the marina. Very lovely. Hills and steps and crooked streets in old town made for a wonderful experience. Walked the whole marina and stopped for a bite and beer at El Barrio. Very nice. Back near our hotel we ate dinner at Lara’s. Delicious fish and chips.

    I went in February which I think was the ideal time to go to Albufeira. It was warm and sunny but not hot. More importantly the beautiful coastline and ancient town weren't flooded with noise and 100s of people. My Uber driver told me there are a lot of groups going in the summer just to drink, so it gets pretty noisy. This is a beautiful city that in my view has been spoilt by many tourist shops and bars, so it's largely lost it's charm ... if you go looking in the back steets though you catch glimpses of it. The harbour is tranquil, and the marina is definitely worth a look too. I definitely wouldn't go in peak season, but as a winter getaway, it was an ideal location.

    Okay at this time of year (February) although many places were closed and the weather wasn't great - but I wouldn't go near Albufeira in peak season, simply 'cos it's not my cup of tea when all the crowds and the gangs of kids are on the rampage!

    Albufeira is gorgeous.

    Albufeira is gorgeous. The beaches are stunning and there are plenty of small beaches within walking distance. Old Town is easily accessed too as there is plenty of transport options, small train, taxi, tuk tuk. We took a boat trip out to Benagil caves, which was amasing. Fantastic restaurants and bars also.

    We stayed in Cerro Mar Garden, we were lucky to get a fabulous apartment on the 6th floor with amazing views overlooking albufeira old town, the pool and the sea. Reception staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. The apartment had everything we needed in it and Aldi is about 10 mins walk away. We had 2 single beds pushed together which were very comfortable and we got fresh towels and beds were dressed daily. The grounds of the hotel and the pool were all kept clean and there were enough sunbeds for the week we were there.

    Brilliant location, only 5 minutes walk or so into Old Town Albufeira, yet no noise could be heard from the hotel. Beautiful view from the room (3rd floor, balcony with sea view). Modern, clean and simplistic room & bathroom which was perfect for us, and the balcony was very big and great to add space on to the compact room (completely fine for two people and great value for money!). The online check in and room code was ideal to save on time spent with in-person check in and worrying about carrying / not losing a room key.

    Lovely place. Self check in. Good location located in the old town steps from a main square with restaurants, shops, music, etc. Short walk to the beach and to my Flix bus stop. Close to pedestrian streets with lots of stores and places to eat. Excellent breakfast, rooftop pool with lounge chairs, umbrellas, tables and chairs. Just outside my room was a balcony with a view of the square. Helpful staff with excellent communication about how to check in.

It was also an amazing location - we were able to walk to the beach in less than five minutes and we were able to walk all over Old Town. We also took advantage of the amazing rooftop and drinks on the rooftop as well. I could not recommend more!

    Pools were lovely, bedrooms clean and spacious. Whole hotel very clean. 10mins walk from Marina probably 35 mins walk to old town but there were no shortage of taxis. Good variety of food, we ate out a couple of times even though we had all inclusive but you will definitely save alot on food and drink overall with the all inclusive. Very well looked after by staff!
