Albufeira
What you need to know before you go
Albufeira is a fishing village-turned-beach resort on Portugal’s southernmost edge of the Algarve. It’s the place to be for taking in some of the best Portugal’s coastal beauty. This seaside town is home to some of the Algarve’s finest family-friendly Blue Flag beaches, some only a short stroll down from Albufeira's Old Town. Be sure to seek out the clifftop viewpoints overlooking golden stretches of sand and magnificent sea stacks.
Couples can find old-world charms through cobbled streets or discover uncrowded beaches for mesmerising Algarve sunsets. Come the summer months, especially in the New Town some 3 km away, you’re treated to some hedonistic scenes with lively bars and clubs. Whether you’re travelling with tots in tow, looking for fantastic seafood, or for a mix of sunshine and party hotspots, Albufeira is a resort town to suit.
