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.

    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.

    The apartment was very clean and had everything I needed for my two week stay. Stephane went beyond the call of duty, even taking me back to the airport my 2nd day there as my luggage did not arrive with me the day before. He consistently texted to make sure everything was good in the apartment and that I had supplies. The short walk to the beach was wonderful and then the walk on the beach to old town was fabulous. I highly recommend this apartment. Great location; close to shops, restaurants, markets, beach, and host—all wonderful!

    The hotel is very clean, modern and in the perfect location right near the strip and a 10 minute drive to the old town. The staff communicate via WhatsApp and you can ask them for anything you need that way. The pool is well maintained, clean and has a lovely relaxed vibe. The pool bar is great for lunch or snacks until 8pm and breakfast was a buffet style which was also lovely. The rooms had a paid mini bar with wine and complimentary water and coffee machine ready on arrival.

    Best for beach goers who plan to spend the day on the beach not tourist; recommend doing a day trip to Albufeira instead. The seaview from the room is nice. Overall it is an average hotel with the basic and bare minimal accommodations. The rooms are spacious but the space could have been better utilized where a sofa bed to accommodate an additional guest would have made more sense than booking a second room.

    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.

    Loved how central they are to the beach and to all the wee restaurants shops and the main strip only a 10/15 min walk to the old town which has some stunning views along the way it's really well worth walking. taxis and the tuk tuks are always about so it's easy to get back of you don't wish to walk back. we are planning our next trip and will most definitely be booking here again.

    This was my second stay at this hotel and again I wasn't disappointed, it is superbly located adjacent to both the beach and the restaurants/bars of the wonderful Albufeira Old Town. The receptionists were helpful and polite, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is spotlessly clean and ticks just about all of the boxes required for a few days away.

    Ruben is a super host and makes an effort to assist with anything we ask, even a dentist. The apartment is clean, luxurious, well equipped and the best location in the old town. The parties going on around is noisy but not in an unpleasant way. Nothing earplugs cannot solve. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Albufeira.
