Vila Recife Hotel, hotel in Albufeira

Vila Recife Hotel is located in Albufeira a 5-minute walk from Fisherman’s Beach. It features a terrace, an outdoor swimming pool, and offers air-conditioned rooms with satellite TV.

Only stayed here one night and it is true, the staff do make a hotel. I arrived earlier than expected however the reception staff were on hand and extremely helpful (thank you Isabella). My room directly overlooked the pool area which was nice. The room was a good size, clean and had everything I needed. I would happily return in the future for a stay of 1 or 2 nights.

Hotel California Urban Beach, hotel in Albufeira

Fully refurbished, Hotel California Urban Beach is situated a 2-minute walk from the Praia dos Pescadores Beach, offers an outdoor pool with views of Albufeira, sun loungers, a solarium and pool bar...

The pool bar, the rooms and of course the location! We thought it was excellent value for money. There is also a spar shop located underneath! Our rooms had frosted glass for the bathrooms which wasn’t an issue for us because we had separate rooms. The balconies were really decently sized. What a fabulous hotel! The staff were also so obliging. We were able to check in at 10am because our rooms were ready. They text us to tell us that. Really comfortable rooms.

FAQs about hotels in Albufeira

Sun, Sand and The Strip!

One of the best Algarve resorts, Albufeira has wonderful beaches, turquoise waters and the dramatic, rocky coastline that makes this part of Portugal so special.

Naturally, life here is all about sun, sand and sea. The most popular Albufeira beach is Fisherman’s Beach and you can still see locals bringing in the fishing boats every morning - if you’re up early enough, that is. Tunnel Beach is accessed through an opening in the cliff, and both offer a variety of watersports.

Further up the coast is Albufeira Marina, from where sightseeing boat trips depart, while east of the town is the 9-hole Balaia golf course. On the way here, you pass Arias de Sao João, home to The Strip where the best bars and clubs are found, many staying open until the early hours.

The Old Town of Albufeira is more peaceful, and its cobbled streets house Moorish buildings and some great restaurants serving fresh fish. If you fancy a day trip from Albufeira, the 12th-century remains of Moorish Almoáda Castle in Paderne can be visited for free.

The town is around 45 minutes’ drive from Faro Airport and there is a fantastic range of beach resorts, small B&Bs and Albufeira apartments on Booking.com.

    Plenty of places to visit on the Algarve and plenty to do in Albufeira. Weather was pleasantly warm - not hot - but we didn't expect, or want, that. Mid-day and into late afternoon I was quite happily walking around in a lightweight summer dress or sitting by the pool wearing the same. Much better than being in England where we understand it was rainy, foggy and cold

    It is an excellent destination for the tourist across Europe. In spite of December month, the weather was lovely with a lot of sunshine. The temperature during the day was between 17-19 degrees celsius, while at night it fell to 8 degrees celsius. Nice food and lots of touristic places to visit nearby. Faro is hardly one hour drive from Albufeira. It is a place worth visiting.

    Albufeira is a great place to go I’d go self catering as everything in the Pingo, the supermarket, and also the Continente a larger supermarket selling electrical goods as well as your usual groceries it’s a very reasonable place to go out and eat especially in the bulldog on the strip and fat cats Unfortunately that was closed in December. The old town is a wonderful place to walk round with nice bars and good shopping and all the people seem so friendly.

    I spent most of my time out and about for the 7 nights i was there last time and I love albuefera, the weather was perfect for me. The hotel staff from front to back of house made my stay perfect. Perfect location, lots of nearby facilities, I even went skydiving, which was on my bucket list. Kayoke bars, night clubs and more restaurants than I've ever seen. It was my 3rd time this year and going again next month. I work in hospitality so I notice a lot things, but for me this place is absolutely golden.

    There's plenty to explore in Ablureira, lots of great places to eat, friendly locals and a large beach close by. We visited end of season and it was quiet and not quite warm enough for beach days. But all in all I'd say its worth a visit. I'd return in April - October.

    The property was very clean. The location was ok about 500m from the beach and 10mins from the old town of Albufeira The choice for breakfast was very good. the pool was ok a little deep for kids 1.3 M deep. The hotel has a gym, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi which is free for guests. The Old Town is full of life and has loads of stalls, restaurants, gift shops etc

    The best are in Albufeira for me. Its close to old city and when you go out its already by the beach. The beach area is so perfect for sunset and the view of the old town from there is amazing. It is also not too far from the new town or the strip which is like 15 mins walk. You will enjoy walking there with neighborhood .
