Holidays in Albufeira

Combine fabulous beaches with upbeat nightlife, and we're talking holidays in Albufeira. For this is a resort with a lot to offer. Quiet evenings of starlit dinners, or late nights with the volume turned up. The fun-loving, modern seafront, or the cobbled streets of the old town. Acres of golden sand at Praia d'Oura or the smaller, quieter coves tucked beneath the cliffs to the east. Once a quaint fishing village, Albufeira has retained plenty of Algarve charm, but now brims with holiday pizzazz.

Summer holidays in Albufeira are all about lazy days on the beach, and pottering around the town, nosing into the shops and resting up at a sunny café. Pottery and jewellery abound, and once a fortnight you can catch the local gypsy market. Down on the beaches, you might still spot the fishermen tending their boats, and you can take to the water yourself too as there are all sorts of watersports on offer.

With a wide choice of places to stay, Albufeira is a hot tip for a last minute holiday. Somewhere like the Aparthotel Brisa Sol combines all the flexibility of a self catering holiday with the fun and facilities of a hotel. Or the Real Bella Vista Hotel makes a wise choice for families looking for activities to keep all ages out of trouble. Wherever you stay, you'll find that Albufeira has charm and entertainment in equal measures.
