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.

Fabulous location for a family or a couple break.
Fabulous location for a family or a couple break.
The area can be challenging because of the many hills and steps when getting around. There are lots of really nice places to eat out just of the many square in old town.
The beach has lovely golden sand. The nearby caves can be experienced by daily boat tours.
Some of the town gets crowded with hen/ stag/ groups.

The beaches are great, some with rocks but most with great sands and views. The catamaran trips and offroad safari are worth it, the seafood and most of every street food is always fresh and tastes great.

Albufeira is a great place to visit as its spread out and has a few different areas to go and see: The old town, strip, marina etc all with bars, restaurants and something going on. On this visit the old town was quite lively with lots of stag and hen doo's which was good to watch! Still a friendly atmosphere down there albeit a bit lively!
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
The Apartment was very clean and spacious for a family of 3. We enjoyed our stay and the location is central to Old Town Albufeira which made it very convenient for food and shopping options. It's walking distance to the beach which is nice. The Apartment had a few things that you can use for the beach, such as umbrellas, paddle board and a ball. The owner was also easy to get a hold of and very friendly and helpful when I needed anything or had any questions.
Hotel was in a nice quiet location. It was clean and staff were friendly although we had little dealings with them.Room were made up daily with fresh towels provided. An uber to old town was less than 4euro and approx 20mins walk to the beach escalators down a steep hill. We didnt use the pool as it was pretty full the day we went down and no parasols free. We went to the beach instead. The loungers closest to the escalators are cheaper than the far beach.
We loved the little house with the big balcony!! Awesome view from the balcony. The property was right on the cliffs overlooking the ocean with a wonderful restaurant right next door! The beds were very comfortable and we liked having a washer with drying racks outside. It was close to many restaurants and a three minute walk to the beach. I would definitely stay again if we return to Albufeira Portugal!!
I loved the property in the middle of the centre (Old Town). Lots of restaurants, shops, nightlife, everything you need when in Albufeira. The property is also exactly like the pictures. Additionally, there was a very friendly host, we got welcome bottle of wine and could ask her for anything we needed. We missed our flight and she was very kind and helped us through the problems we faced.
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.
It was very clean, next to other hotels if you wanted to go to their entertainment.
Prices of food and drink were reasonable for hotel prices.
Shopping centre next door, very cheap. 20 minutes walk to old town, cheap taxis otherwise.
15 min walk to new town, again cheap taxis otherwise.
Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely recommend
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.
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.
Amazing location , super clean terrace lovely , I have been in Portugal for 8 weeks I’ve stayed in 5 star hotels , 4 star and also apartments and villas , but lonely and quiet , so I try here for one night , but now I’m thinking of staying , do not hesitate to book here it is perfect , I should of stayed here before
Great hotel but located in an overcrowded town that has all but completely lost its charm due to overdevelopment. If you like the idea of staying in a theme park, you might like Albuferia. Otherwise seek the more traditional areas of Portugal, such as the Gold Coast or North of Lisbon.
This is an exceptional property. The room was modern, fully equipped, huge and the best part - beach facing! The location of the hotel was also amazing, right in the centre of Albufeira and the old town is footsteps away. The tariff including an amazing breakfast. Highly recommended.
Staff were great, Hotel and rooms were very clean, food was also great, would definetely stay again and at other Vile Gale hotels, Location is also really good, as the tourist train stops directly outside of the hotel so you can get an easy ride to the strip or old town
Great location for central old town Albufeira. Staff friendly and helpful. Good music by the pool. Would highly recommend the sushi in the hotel restaurant. Great ear plugs if you don’t want to hear the low beats of the nightlife outside.
Perfect location right in front of the beach and 15mins walk from Albufeira old town. staff were really nice, the apartments are very spacious and well equipped. Beautiful views of the sea and the hotel’s pool.
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.
The entrance and foyer of the hotel was nice and quaint but that’s about it.
The location is great because of how close it is to the old town, restaurants and beach.
