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.

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.

Ok, the condo was excellent.
Ok, the condo was excellent. The owner has only one condo so its privately owned meaning its equipped with pretty much all necessities. Well located and tbh...better than i expected. Pictures don't quite render the size. Its very comfortable. It's also gated. Driving inside was surprising to see a 100 foot long entrance completely covered with overhanging trees. Gives it a bit of a royal feel.
The condo faces the pool side not the driveway so that's a plus. You can also see the ocean from your terrace. The walk down to the ocean is a bit steep but so is everything in Portugal. Its less than 5 minutes downhill.
Now for the part i didn't enjoy as much: Albufeira itself. Its slowly losing it's flavor by becoming americanized with boutiques, restaurants and gift shops. If that's your thing you'll be well served. One night, searching for a power voltage converter i ended up in a somewhat debauchery street with a strip club, sex shop, bars galore, people all over the street and neons advertising loud music and parties. I have nothing against this and it is very reminiscent of Ibiza nightlife but its a sign of change. This was maybe 2km from the condo so not in the immediate viscinity. By the way, i found the converter on that very street in a gift shop so...maybe i shouldn't complain. :) Enjoy!
Amazing beachfront hotel , beautiful views from our balcony, room was absolutely massive! The beach was excellent and so convenient to hotel.Lovely beach stroll to old town.
Fantastic staff, so friendly, fun and welcoming ,especially in the restaurant .
Food was super too ,great tasty choice for breakfast and dinner, all inclusive is great value.
Would absolutely recommend and return in the future 😀
Travel tip -Uber cost €35 to airport on return journey but we paid €53 in taxi so download uber to save some money !!!
The location! Christina - the proprietor was excellent and so helpful. She even found towels we could use at the beach!. We loved the small beach that was only 200 meters away - much more private than the bigger beaches on either side. The unit was very functional and comfortable. Well laid out! This building is close enough to walk to old town Albufeira - but far enough away to avoid the crowds. It is close to ‘the Strip’ for dining and bar options too!
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.
Very clean property with good facilities and pricing. One Bedroom apartments are comfortable for 2-3 people. Rooms are very good quality. Housekeeping staff are very friendly and efficient. Front Desk Manager/Supervisor lady was very nice and helpful. very nice pool area with plenty of sun beds and space for size of hotel. Quiet location at night so great for a good night’s sleep after visiting the old town which is a 10-minute stroll or €4 taxi cab away.
We arrived around 11pm .Self check in was well explained and very easy .Beds were very comfy .When we opened curtains in the morning view was just amazing ...old town and ocean .We found everything we needed in apartment.Also spotlessly clean .Marina was always available to help us if we needed .Location cant be better ,everything on door step .Our holidays were amazing .Recommending apartments to everyone who planning holidays in beautiful Albufeira .
Nice apartment not so far from the old town of Albufeira (5-10 min walk). We had the apartment who was near the pool which was very nice. The host Sandra was the best. She welcomed us in the apartment and showed us around, if there was anything we could text here and she would look if she could help. Some of the equipement in the kitchen were missing and she immediately came with the missing pieces.
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.
Newly renovated hotel so it was nice and clean. Great location. Just in the centre of old town and new town. I could walk to the beach and explore old town and walk back. Used uber for transport which is pretty affordable in Portugal. Staff was excellent. Fernando and Andrea at reception has great recommendations and helped me book some excersions.
Hotel is located very close to beach and within easy access to Central Old Town Albufeira. Check in was efficient and easy, Staff friendly and Helpful.
Accommodation is exceptionally clean, and the rooms on the front of the hotel have great sea views (Particularly on higher floors), with a brilliant view from the roof terrace.
Hotel was very clean, room was good, nice selection of food & it was great to have the option to eat in some of the other Grand Muthu hotels nearby - we were all inclusive. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is located less than 5 minutes from The Strip but a taxi ride away from the Old Town.
Very good location. Only a few minutes walk to the old town. Apartment was cleaned daily. We had a lovely view in apartment 204.
Would highly recommend downloading the Bolt app. It’s similar to Uber and very cheap to get a taxi back to the apartment.
Amazing value for the price. This is the best value accommodation in Albufeira and why we stayed.
Big room and excellent free spa/pool complex. Mid way to the old town and the strip (both 10-15min walk), and lots of shops and restaurants close by
Liked the location most of all. Beautiful view of the ocean and near old town center. Staff was very friendly and helpful to all our needs. Breakfast was great and plentiful. Hotel was not overly crowded and only adults.
the property was located literally on the beach with stunning views. it was only a short 10min walk to the old town filled with restaurants. the rooms were a generous size and it felt more like a 4 star than a 3 star hotel
The location was amazing - right on the beach but also steps away from Old Town Albufeira. The room was simple but clean and had everything we needed. We were very happy with our choice based on location alone.
Walking distance from old town Albufeira, which was our favorite area. Per centrally located so it was not a terribly far drive from anywhere. Very affordable. We did not use the pool, but it was nice.
