Located 1640 feet from a beach, INATEL Albufeira is a 10-minute walk from the city center. The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool with a terrace with sun loungers and air-conditioned rooms.

Breakfast was good, mimosas were a nice touch. Same food each morning, illogically arranged. The room/hotel wifi was very poor/weak so the front desk lent us a router to use in the room. Great coffee machines!

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.

    Albufeira is a quiet peaceful place, we all felt comfortable...

    Albufeira is a quiet peaceful place, we all felt comfortable walking the streets and visiting the local pubs and restaurants. The taxi service (Uber) very quick and efficient and we had to use a lot because the walk to the town and attractions are all very hilly and the pavements are not the best.

    Lovely place shame my friends phone went missing from the local spar shop after she accidentally left it in shopping basket, One of the staff in the shop was acting very strangely when we asked about phone, it was located in the bin outside shop with all the money missing Police contacted but nothing was done about it, This was the first morning we arrived and this made us all very suspicious of the staff and manager of the shop

    Charming, quirky and clean.

    Charming, quirky and clean. People were friendly and food was of a very high standard, particularly if you chose to visit local establishments with local gastronomy - e.g. must try pollo pirripirri and their fantastic range of cakes. Vegetables were fresh and delicious. We felt safe in albufeira, no concerns about antisocial behaviour by locals whatsover. Prices are reasonable and shopping was fun.

    Albufeira was a great base for daytrips around the Algarve with plenty of really good restaurants and shopping. We visited Lagos for the day, did the dolphin spotting boat tour from the Marina and also visited Faro Town and harbour. We also went to the Algarve Shopping Center which was perfect for a cloudy day (we only had one!).

    Albufeira is for undiscerning, unadventurous tourists. I have been visiting the Algarve for decades and have seen the downgrade of Albufeira into a messy, overcrowded location for tourists who are looking for sun, beach and cheap beer. Impossible to get a decent meal unless you cook it yourself.

    Very neat and clean apartment. Quiet neighbourhood (at least in March). Beautiful views-you can see the whole Albufeira, and the ocean, from both sides of the house. You can see the sun in the morning from your balcony, and the sunset from the public corridor on your doorstep. The house has everything you need. It's 10-15min. walk to the old town and the beach. And the best part -lovely landlady Idàlia. Super reliable and welcoming, made me feel at ease and resolved any issues very quickly. Would stay again.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the panoramic views from the hotel, offering a stunning overlook of Albufeira and the Atlantic Ocean. The spacious and clean apartments provided a comfortable stay, complete with well-equipped kitchens that made self-catering easy. The multiple swimming pools were a fantastic amenity, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine. Additionally, the hotel’s location was excellent—within walking distance to the old town and beach, yet peaceful enough for a restful stay.

    The hotel is in an ideal location. It is at the heart of Albufeira Old Town. We really enjoyed the rooftop bar which lets you overlook the beach and enjoy cocktails in the sun. Our room was small but we weren’t in it much and it was cleaned to perfection every day. All staff were extremely helpful and I would highly recommend staying here.
