Albufeira hotels get a thumbs-up from families. Kids’ pools, buffets and shows are the norm on these Portugal holidays.
Friendly Albufeira
The beaches in this slice of the Algarve are made for families. The sands are soft, the waters shallow, and watersports come on tap. Fancy going back to nature? Take the kids to the rockpools of São Rafael Beach. Another top spot is Fishermen’s Beach. It rocks up to the old town, where the catch of the day is cooked up in the al fresco eateries. These restaurants are open well into the night, too — along with a heap of family-friendly bars along the main strip.
Things to do in Albufeira
There are loads of family activities in Albufeira. You could clamber around the treetops in Parque Aventura, bounce around the countryside in a 4x4, or roam around the backstreets and churches of the old town. Boat trips kick off from the shore, too — you could spy dolphins, seahorses and occasionally whales in this patch of the Atlantic.
