Albufeira

The Beach town with bite

Golden coves by day, big-energy strip by night. Albufeira is the Algarve’s sun-sure party base with easy beach days and zero-fuss nights.

Sun, surf and HUGE nightlife. Albufeira offers big bang for buck!

✔ Mixed groups who want beach days and low-effort nights on the Strip
✔ Food & fun lovers - fresh seafood, marina bars, beach clubs and boat days
✔ Sun-sure Algarve with short, affordable UK flights and great-value stays

Albufeira is the Algarve at its most effortless: golden coves by day, neon-bright fun by night. Stay near the Old Town for cobbled lanes, cliff-top views and easy beach access, or head to the Strip for wall-to-wall bars and big evenings with zero hassle.
Daytimes are stacked with group favourites — Benagil cave trips, beach clubs, loungers, SUP/kayak sessions, golf close by, and plenty of chilled bays to explore. Come summer, it’s event central: boat parties, pool parties, bar crawls, sunset sessions and everything in between.
Getting around is simple with taxis, tuk-tuks and short walks. The area is built for groups, with table bookings, packages, transfers and club entries that actually run on time.
If you want sun-sure weather, clear water and a weekend that delivers without overthinking it, Albufeira always hits the mark.
