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 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.

    lovely place... great food... lovely... BUT maybe if you hate the madness of the stag and hen season, maybe more so Stags as they come in vast number, I would suggest late summer as in spring and early summer it is madness with drunks and idiots in abundance.

    Certain parts of Albufeira are still beautiful, but the old town seems to be full of stag & hen parties. The Strip is the same but you expect that there. Santa Eulalia & Olhos d’Agua are still nice, & have beautiful beaches.

    You can split Albufeira into two parts - Centre - focused on turists and Old Town part - for slow wondering around. Centre is located in Old Town, so You can make two steps away from main street and enjoy quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Town beach is beautiful - large and sandy with clean water. Unfortunatelly The Lift (the one who takes You down from streets level to beach level) doesn't work and You have to use over 110 steps to get down to beach. Food prices avarage for holiday resorts - starts from 15Euro for pizza up to 20+Euro for everything else. Super cheap Port wine to buy in Intermarche (from 4,2E). In general people speak english, so no problem with comunication.

    We stay in an area called santa eulalia it's a bit quite than the strip and old town which suits us we can get a bus taxi or the little train into old town for a day. The area also has bus stops which give access to other areas in albufeira and connects to main bus station. Some of our favourite places to go are netos restaurant , Roberto's piri piri restaurant, robieros restaurant, all have good reasonably inexpensive food and friendly staff, the little cafe deli on the corner of the octopus roundabout does lovely snacks and drinks, the coyote bar and the old house bar have friendly staff and good for karaoke next to a very good Chinese restaurant

    The hotel Epic Sana has to be one of the best hotels in this area. We found nothing that could be improved, as the accomadation, food, cleanliness was as a 5* should be. All the staff from management to housekeepers were pleasant and always willing to help or assist in anyway. Local facilities in the pretty village of ‘Olhos de Agua’ were adequate, if you are looking for a quiet peaceful holiday(no noisy night clubs or bars) which was heavenly for us. Excellent *****

    Fantastic hotel, located 10 minutes walk from Albufeira old town. Close to many bars, restaurants, and supermarkets. The room is very big and clean, the bed is very comfortable, Wifi connection is very good, and the room has a very nice and clean bathroom. Breakfast is very good as well. The owners are very communicative and nice, super friendly, and were always attentive and asked if we needed any help with anything. We really felt at home :) I loved this place !!!

    Th apartment was in immaculate condition and it was very well equipped. Nice extra touches like the smart tv, a lot of storage space and had a great outdoor living area. There is easy access to the pool from the balcony. The apartment is in a great location and is a five minute walk from the old town so no need for any taxis. Very quiet at night considering how close you are to the old town. One of the best places to stay in Albufeira by far and is great value for everything included. Would definitely recommend!

    Albufeira old town is a great place to stay especially in this apartment. 50meters from the beach and the bars. I could even see the beach from my balcony. The apartment is spacious and has everything you could wish for. Even a blow-dryer. Watercooker, every kitchen utensil. George & Florence are great too. Replied any question i had super fast and it was a pleasure to talk to them. This apartment is super popular, so if you get a chance to rent it, be quick! Best booking I've ever made on this site.

    We had a partial view of the pools, pretty landscaping, and coast from our balcony. The large pools looked inviting, but we did not use them since we were limited on time. The dunes and beach were lovely, and we enjoyed sunset there. The hotel was quiet and relaxing during our stay, likely due to the cooler weather and fewer guests. Dinner at the restaurant was better than other places we've dined during our visit to Portugal. We wished that we had stayed more than one night.

    Charming little Cottage and amazing location right in the Old Town. Old Town has beautiful restaurants and boutiques for shopping. We loved the architecture and history around every street corner. The Roof-Top Terrance on the Cottage is simply stunning and could have sat there all day listening to the Church Bells ringings, gulls calling while sipping wine and inhaling the delicious smells wafting up the streets from all the restaurants.
