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 really a small City size rather than a town.
Albufeira is really a small City size rather than a town. It is a very busy and bustling place, but it has many different areas to suit all tastes and ages, locals are super friendly and passionate about their country.

Good place for various types of eating from very expensive to cheap and cheerful. Good walking shoes needed as there are lots of steps, slopes and much going up and down when moving about during a visit to the "Old Town" areas. Not good for wheelchair users and those with mobility issues.

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.

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.
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 !!! I will come back for sure when I am back to Albufeira.
For a solo traveler it's ideal. It's fantastic value for money, somewhere to drop your bags and shower and sleep is all I want from a room. Ideally situated between the new and old town so you've got the best of both worlds. Room was clean and spacious, also if you're leaving late there's somewhere to store your luggage. When I come back to Albufeira I wouldn't look to stay anywhere else
One final call out to Rita, a delightful young lady who has to be the most helpful member of staff I've ever come across
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.
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.
Best location possible if a traveller intends on staying in or around old town Albufeira. The interior updates have given the hostel a nice and modern look that is difficult to find in other hostels around the Algarve. Can extra safety measures be taken to help guests feel at ease? Sure. However, if you take responsibilty for your own items and store them away properly, you will not have a problem.
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.
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.
its good. best thing is there is A/C in a room, it helps to sleep well with so hot outside. when i moved to different 2 stars hotel next day in Albufeira with no A/C, just a fan couldn’t sleep with that heat, made me miss this place when i walk passing it. great spot too, only 5 mins walk to the centre, old town and the beach. breakfast was ok.
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.
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.
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.
Nice hotel all inclusive was good value food was nice with good range for everyone. Very central we walked to old town everyday and walked to the Strip also
