Apartments in Albufeira

As the largest resort in the Algarve, you won’t be surprised to find many hundreds of apartments in Albufeira to rent. Over the years Albufeira has grown from a small fishing village to the most popular holiday destination in the Algarve.

Many of these apartments are privately owned, some are provided specifically for tourists, situated in resort complexes and some are Aparthotels, which are hotels with apartment accommodation (i.e. self catering facilities).

Location, location, location

For a successful holiday in Albufeira you need to find good accommodation in the right location. As the town covers such a large area, the apartments in Albufeira are to be found all over and not necessarily close to the main tourist areas. This may not be such a problem if you have a car, but can ruin a holiday if you are a few kilometres away from the town centre or the beach and have to rely on public transport or a 45-minute walk in the height of summer.

The two main areas are Albufeira old town and a few kilometres east an area known as the Strip. These are completely different in character, and the old town, having more history and charm, attracts a slightly older and more cosmopolitan crowd. The strip is at the other end of the spectrum. It is loud, bright and full of life. There are many bars, restaurants to cater for all budgets and tastes. It caters for a younger party going crowd, and at night is lit up with garish neon signs. You’ll either love it or hate it, but you’ll never forget it!

To help you find apartments in Albufeira, best suited to your holiday, a selection of apartments and Aparthotels is shown below. These have been split into areas, so you’ll have an idea of what to expect and also how far you are from the main centres of Albufeira.

By clicking on any of the apartments in Albufeira listed below, a new window will open in your browser and you will be taken to reviews of the accommodation provided by real travellers. This is the best way to find out if it is likely to be suitable for your holiday. If it is, you can also enquire further or book your chosen accommodation.
