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.

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!

Albufeira Old Town has become loud and full of Stag and Hen groups :-(
Best time to visit it is before lunchtime; after that it becomes rowdy. If that's what you want then fine. There are plenty of other quieter bars/diners on the outskirts, so it can be avoided in the evenings.
Some lovely old typical Portuguese houses and buildings further out of the town square.

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 have visited serval times, and always come back completely relaxed, but also having had great value food, drink and as much nightlife we can handle (lol) there is something different to see most days for a short break, and you a spoilt for choice in the evenings for live music and well cooked food.
The location couldn't be better. Steps to the fun and shopping of Old Town, great restaurants and Peneco Beach (which has an elevator!). Its a fantastic property. Front desk staff is EXCELLENT. Breakfast was perfect and the pool and deck with the view of the beach is magical. Everything you could want in a boutique beach hotel. We were lucky enough to be in town for an annual festival taking place but wouldn't have known unless we saw the flyer in the lobby! What a treat...immersed in a locals event on the first night of our trip...
Vila Branca is an amazing property in the Albufeira Old Town. I communicated with Nico - the property manager during my stay and he was really kind, professional and helpful host. The 1 bedroom apartment in which I stayed was neat, tidy and spotless clean. Everything was accessible and within walking distance from Vila Branca.
Useful tip: Try the cafe across from the property. It serves the best coffee and meals.
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.
All of the facilities were in excellent condition and very well presented. Staff were very friendly and the entertainment was tip top.
Although the hotel is far away from the centre of Albufeira old town there is a shuttle bus which is free of charge which runs multiple times a day from the hotel.
I also thought the hotel was situated in a beautiful vista spot with some great walks along the cliff.
Absolutely stunning property, if you are looking for a nice quiet family getaway than I would highly recommend staying here. It’s a 5-10-minute drive from pristine beaches and old town Albufeira but is far enough away from these crowded areas for a nice quiet place to rest. The host Tiago was also excellent and was always quick on the response towards any questions we had during our stay.
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.
This apartment is beautiful and in a perfect location (5 minutes from both the beach and the old town). The space is clean and modern, and there’s a lovely spacious balcony overlooking the ocean. Vas was also very accommodating throughout our entire trip, and was quick to respond whenever we needed anything. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in Albufeira!!
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.
We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our stay in Albufeira with nearby access to the beach and the beautiful old town. The hotel was exceptionally clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was simple and had everything we needed, even a balcony with a sea view, and we enjoyed use of the well-maintained pool.
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.
Nice hotel. I guess it was my fault for booking the noisiest place to stay in Portugal. Albuferia seems to be party central and does not shut town at night. So no sleep for a few nights. It was not the hotels fault.
Very nice front desk staff.
In center of old town.Close to all old town has to offer. Restaurants and bars.
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.
Location perfect away from the noise of the strip and old town. But close enough to walk or a 3 min taxi ride for €4
Hotel food was excellent. Clean and friendly.
Pool area spotless.
This hotel is very central in the old town and on the beach.
It is very modern and the food is very good too.
The room sizes are very generous with staff very helpful.
Beautiful clean hotel , friendly staff , lovely pool , great facilities, rooms excellent .
Very good breakfast too.
Close to strip , cheap taxi to old town
