Whether you’re heading on holiday to the Algarve to explore the quaint towns of Carvoeiro and Praia Do Rocha, surf the waves of Lagos or do a bit of boutique shopping in Vilamoura, this beautiful region of Portugal does it all. From a distance the Algarve is instantly recognizable with whitewashed houses and layers of terracotta roofs – it’s a paradise for photographers and artists.

The Algarve translates, not very imaginatively, as ‘the west’. Surprisingly enough, it’s found on the west of Portugal where the sun shines all year round and the Atlantic Ocean laps at your toes. There are no wet and miserable winters here, just sunshine, sandcastles and sangria.

The modern Albufeira Sol Hotel & Spa (Travellers' Choice 2021) is a fun and lively complex of studios and apartments with full board option and extensive amenities for a relaxing and carefree holiday in the popular Portuguese resort of Albufeira.

Aimed at a wide range of guests, there is something for everyone at the Albufeira Sol Hotel & Spa. For a relaxing afternoon or light relief on ‘the morning after the night before’, the Albufeira Sol Hotel & Spa offers to revitalise treatments and massages to get you back to feeling more like your fabulous self.

Perfectly located close to the centre of the resort, offering a wide variety of shops, bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and only 900m from the beautiful Santa Eulalia beach, the Albufeira Sol Hotel & Spa offers the perfect base to ensure a great holiday for all.
