Top neighborhoods in Albufeira

A coastal town with multi-story buildings, a sandy beach, and a rocky hillside.

Albufeira Old Town

Albufeira Old Town feels like stepping into a postcard with its narrow cobblestone streets and whitewashed buildings that tell stories of its fishing village past. The vibrant square buzzes with energy while beachgoers flock to golden sands at Fisherman's Beach and Peneco Beach. History buffs can explore the Castle Wall Ruins and the iconic Clock Tower that stands watch over the azure Atlantic waters. Traditional seafood restaurants serve fresh catches on sun-drenched terraces while evening brings lively bars and the sounds of clinking wine glasses. Getting around is a breeze with most attractions within walking distance, though the uneven medieval streets require comfortable shoes. Boutique guesthouses in converted historic buildings offer authentic stays close to all the action.

Algarve Marriott Salgados Golf Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and very comfortable stay. Bed and pillows were incredible. Breakfast buffet was pretty good. Could do with some entertainment in the evening, some live music at the lobby bar would be a nice touch."

EPIC SANA Algarve Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at Epic Sana. The property is beautiful. One note is that we were surprised that to book sun beds on the beach costs 70 euros a day. I think understand charging some amount, but 70 euros seemed a bit much given that there is no bathroom or shower. Also, have a half day fair would be more beneficial as a few times we were told everything is booked while I saw sunbed available. Staff is nice, food is great. We had great vacation there."

Hotel Baltum

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay at Hotel Baltum Stayed for 5 days Superb hotel right in the centre and enjoyed the great buffet Breakfast with lots to choose from The best part was the superb Italian restaurant Ricos where we went every evening as it was so good Just didn't want to go anywhere else and was given a small discount which was appreciated Found Albufura itself very busy and noisy at night but during the day much quieter Glad we chose this hotel as we could eat and have drinks there and no need to go anywhere else at night and most other hotels were up the hill where a little train takes you up and down for a few Euros Did find it quite entertaining on an evening watching all the activity outside from our small balcony tho and listening to the music So definitely recommend this hotel for anyone going to Albufura"

Cerro Mar Atlantico & Cerro Mar Garden

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel right in the old town. Stunning views and lovely comfortable rooms. The pool area was also very nice with a bar and restaurant. Beware, it's on a very very long steep hill so expect to be out of breathe if you fancy walking back after a few beers :-)"
