village located at the heart of the Portuguese Algarve. It’s just a 10 minute walk to two beaches of Oura and Santa Eulália. Now more famous for its chic restaurants and buzzing nightlife, Albufeira is home to twenty spectacular beaches, row after row of picturesque clifftop houses, and a glorious Mediterranean climate.

LOCAL AREA AND THINGS TO DO
Several of Albufeira’s most beautiful beaches are within walking distance of Albufeira Sol Hotel, and previous visitors have been impressed with the hotel’s prime location. If you fancy a change from sunbathing, however, Albufeira is home to many other hidden joys. The historic old town is great for a wander, while the scenery at Miradouro do Pau da Bandeira is particularly picturesque. If you don’t mind travelling a little further, Zoomarine Algarve is a wonderful day out for the whole family.
And if you fancy going even further afield, enjoyable excursions from Albufeira include full day boat cruises, which pass beautiful carved cliffs as they head toward the charming coastal town of Lagos and the clifftop fortress of Sagres.
