Going on holiday in Albufeira
Albufeira is blessed by year-round fine weather, offering warm summers and mild winters. This small city gets busy in July and August as the beaches sizzle with activity. If you’d like to avoid these crowds, you can appreciate similarly fine weather in May, June and September. While spring and autumn aren’t the best for sea swimming, they’re perfect for inland hikes. As for winter, Albufeira is a low-key destination with excellent walks on quiet coasts. Many of its best restaurants and bars remain open, so you’re not short on choices. Festivities to look out for include the Al-Buhera Festival in July, Sardine Festival in August and September's Festa do Pescador.

The opinion of the Voyage Privé travel expert on Albufeira
From its spectacular beaches to its bright and bustling Old Town, Albufeira is the quintessential seafront holiday. While its cobblestone streets date back centuries, its façades have changed with the tourist crowd. Enjoy bustling bars and fun water sports or simply relax in your family-focused resort. You’ll still find pockets of old-school tranquillity with Moorish features along winding alleyways. The bulk of footfall, however, heads for the New Town where beach parties and revellers rule.
Albufeira – a fun base for exploring the Algarve
Nestled between Portimao and Faro on the Algarve coast, Albufeira is the perfect base to explore the region. The beautiful Benagil Cave is just 20 km west of the city, offering picture-postcard views and spectacular sunsets. Even closer, you’ll discover the historic village of Paderne and its ancient monuments. The area is ripe with charming road trips, from vineyard tours to epic golf courses.

The hotel is well located. Next to a pretty beach, small shops nearby. Not in the center of Albufeira itself, so quiet and away from tourists and noisy families. The hotel is not far from all the cities we visited. Everything is done in 30min, maximum 2h (taking only national and small roads, so faster by highway). The staff is professional and friendly, at our disposal. The rooms are cleaned every day, the hotel is very clean and spacious. The kitchen equipment is satisfactory. The bare minimum, it's easy for the week.

New hotel with excellent services. (cleanliness, quality of the rooms, quality of the swimming pool, wifi). The breakfast is very complete and of high quality. The rooms have digital indicators to request cleaning or not to be disturbed. Bringing the beds together to go from two single beds to a double bed works well. The gym has all the necessary equipment. The staff is very welcoming. The hotel is rather quiet. There are always free deckchairs at the pool and that's a pleasure. It should be noted that the hotel is out of the way in relation to Albufeira but this is compensated by the good services offered by the hotel. A small supermarket is available 5 minutes away on foot (Océano). An Italian restaurant at the top food level, magnificent with sunset, in short... is available 3 minutes away on foot (Bellavita). A Portuguese restaurant is available 15 minutes away on foot (Adega dos Salgados).
