Albufeira Hotels and Accommodation

(Albufeira, Algarve, Portugal)

During July and August, hotels in Albufeira often fill to capacity, so it's a good idea to book as early as possible. Accommodation rates are considerably higher during this season as well, with the resorts and hotels being popular with young tourists despite the fact that relatively few budget options are available.

Most of the lodging in Albufeira falls in the mid-range category. The shoulder months - generally May to June and September to October - come with substantial discounts. This is an excellent time to book accommodation in Albufeira, as crowds are less of an issue despite the fair weather.

Where to Stay

The most popular Albufeira hotels are to be found right on the beach and near the centre of the city. Particularly notable is the Praia da Oura, as it lies at the southern end of 'the Strip'. Follow this avenue north to Montechoro to find an even greater selection of hotels, restaurants, shops and bars. This area booms after hours and fills with young tourists, who regularly close out local dance clubs in the early morning hours. Those who plan on partying will want to book a room as close to the Strip as possible.

The Grande Real Santa Eulalia and Sheraton Algarve hotels are a couple of the top luxury accommodation options in Albufeira. Both occupy premium beachfront property and offer every service and amenity imaginable. For quiet and more reasonably priced accommodation, consider booking a room with a quaint inn in the historic Moorish quarter.
