Albufeira holidays

There’s a reason why Albufeira’s one of the Algarve’s most popular resorts – it’s got something for everyone among its golden beaches, whitewashed Old Town and buzzy Strip. Great golf courses? Tick. Neon-lit bars? Yup. Waterparks? You bet. And to top it all off, there are loads of great restaurants offering everything from freshly grilled sardines to international dishes. Families will find their fair share of exciting activites too. We're talking aquariums, go karting and boat trips!

Beach heaven

Albufeira has more than 25 stunning beaches to explore. Many of these gems are Blue Flag winners, offering huge stretches of sweeping golden sands and turquoise waters. Whether you’re looking for a quiet cove or a lively beach scene, you’re sure to find it here. As for the water sports, there are loads on offer. Or you can opt for a boat trip along the coast to spot dolphins or see caves.

History v thrills

Albufeira has plenty in the way of history and heritage. Pay a visit to Paderne Castle, a Moorish stronghold, or check out one of the pretty little churches, like Sant’Ana. If it’s action you’re after, take the kids to Electric Karting Albufeira Marina, or try the thrill rides at Aqualand Algarve waterpark.

Nightlife for all tastes

Come evening, it’s all about the Strip, a neon stretch of bars and discos pumping out all-night classics. Here you’ll find karaoke, foam parties and big-name DJs. If you’re after something more family-friendly, you can stick to the Old Town, where the cobbled streets are lined with restaurants and cafes.
