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!
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.
Great apartment in perfect location: walking distance to beach and old town. Clean, specious, and has everything you need for comfortable stay, kitchen was well-equipped including dishwasher, washing machine, etc. Beautiful views overlooking the old city and ocean from balcony.
Nuno is an excellent host, very kind and helpful. He kept in touch from day one, met us in person to show around, provided helpful information/sightseeing suggestions.
We had an unforgettable stay and hope to come back sometime soon!
We love the location!!!! And the position of the swimming pool too. Was amazing evening for 3 star hotel what you need.All family love the food we was there with 3 kids and food was amazing every day 😍 stuff was so nice and friendly make 1 week stay for us very spacial. Amazing position to walk to the old town on the beach!!! We just love all I think this hotel for 3 star is absolutely amazing give you more for your money!!! Well done MONICA ISABEL BEACH CLUB !!! WE WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR 😍
The staff atCasa de Arcos is fabulous. Maria and her crew do everything to make you feel comfortable and welcome. It is very clean and the kitchen access is wonderful. There was some noise from several guests and the staff took care of that. They do not allow you to continue to stay unless you play by the rules …which is a good thing. The building is very pretty and historical. It is in the heart of the Old Town so right out your door walking!
Pool was awesome! Not loads of sunbeds but we stayed for a weekend and when we needed a sunbed, we got one.
The views from our rooms were some of the best i have ever seen.
The reception staff were exceptional and so helpful and the cleaning and bar staff were helpful and happy.
Hotel was clean and well maintained.
Location was walking distance to Old Town and less then €4 to New Town so perfect for everyone.
The property is ideally located for us, very close to pubic transport from the airport, good cafes nearby and an easy walk to the old town and beaches. It was very quiet with no noise or disturbances at night. Good balconies, excellent facilities, a really good size for an extended stay and the bonus of a washing machine, 2 proper bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The hosts are excellent.
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.
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.
The pool and gym facilities are excellent. Breakfast is amazing. Staff are friendly and accommodating. We chose the hotel for the location as we did not want to be in the town centre around all the noise. It did not disappoint. The Sao Rafael beach is also amazing. It was perfect. It is only 10 minutes and 7-10 euro in a taxi to the old town.
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.
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.
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.
Nice spacious apartment with lovely pool area. Pool was never really busy so not sure what it would be like if place was fully booked as it's quite small. There's a hotel a couple of minutes away and then a larger supermarket and restaurants about 8 mins away. Taxis are very cheap to the old town
Ideal hotel for couples or families. Only a short walk to Old Town. Apartment was so clean and had all the facilities that we needed. Staff are so helpful and accommodating. I couldn't recommend enough. I would definitely book again when returning to Albuferia!!
This is the cutes apartment I’ve been in Portugal! In the very centre of Albufeira, 2 min from the beach. Very quiet and the bed was very comfortable 😊 There is a very nice terrace as well. I love everything about this place!
This hotel is clean quiet. The staff are friendly and helpful. It’s an easy 10 minute walk to the beach and the old town of Albufeira.
There is a big supermarket around the corner, and a 5 min walk to a Hop on Hop off stop.
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 hotel was situated a stones throw from the beach, 10 min walk from Old Town and 20 min walk from Strip.
Clean and set in lovely gardens. The best hotel breakfast we have ever had, fantastic selection and quality food.
Lovely hotel and they gave us a brilliant big room, loved the indoor pool facilities and also the outdoor. Close enough to the old town for us to walk in and out but also cheap in an Uber if we didn’t feel like walking
