Washed by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean but enjoying a Mediterranean climate, sheltered from the winds by the Algarve's hill, Albufeira still holds the charm of the fishermen's village.
The beauty of the seaside landscape, the cliffs leaning over its clear water beaches, with plenty of blue flags asserting the cleanliness of their waters and golden sands, are all so different from the quiet and picturesque atmosphere of the region's inland area.

Located in the heart of the Algarve, 39 km away from the international airport of Faro, Albufeira is a privileged location for the holidays you dreamed of. (see our "how to get here" map!)
The region's connection with the sea is the reason for its generous and varied gastronomy, since fish and shellfish dishes are the main presence on the menus of the numerous restaurants.
At nightfall, Albufeira gains new life... bars, terraces, clubs and discos, there's always an option for every taste.
