Faro Hotels and Accommodation

(Faro, Algarve, Portugal)

There is a truly thriving accommodation scene in Faro, with many hotels offering highly affordable package deals when booked ahead. It is also very possible for find apartments in Faro, available for short-term rental, as well as a good choice of 'pensoes' (pensions / guesthouses), homestays and similar lodging.

It is also sensible to book your lodging well in advance, usually several months ahead of your holiday. However, if you have arrived in Faro and have not reserved your accommodation, then do first check with the tourist office at the airport, who will try to help you find a hotel within your price bracket.

Where to Stay

The majority of the most popular hotels in Faro tend to be grouped in the neighbourhood located on the northerly side of the harbour.

For budget travellers and backpackers, the Pousada de Juventude youth hostel on the Rua da Policia de Seguranca Publica enjoys a peaceful setting and offers both twin rooms and dormitory-style accommodation.


Offering exceptional value, the Residencial Adelaide on the Rua Cruz das Mestras is always a reliable option, as is the Residencial Algarve on the Rua Infante Dom Henrique, and the Hotel Eva on the Avenida da Republica. Also of note is the Hotel Monaco on the Rua Baptista Severino, which provides accommodation within easy reach of Faro Airport.

Many holiday makers choose to stay outside of Faro and within the neighbouring Algarve resort of Alvor, where the Maralvor Hotel on the Rua Da Barca comes highly recommended and is just minutes away from the beachfront.
