Hotels in Algarve

Stretching along Portugal's sun-soaked southern coast, Algarve hotels put you within reach of dramatic cliffside beaches, whitewashed fishing towns and some of Europe's best golf courses. Whether you're chasing family fun, a wellness reset, or a slice of authentic Portuguese charm, this is one region where you're spoilt for choice on where to base yourself.

West Algarve: wild coastlines and laid-back luxury

Right at the region's most westerly point, Martinhal Sagres Beach Family Resort makes the most of Sagres' wild, surf-swept scenery, with a set-up built around keeping the whole family entertained. Head inland slightly to Luz, and Belavista Da Luz Wellness Lifestyle Hotel is the pick for a slower pace, leaning into its wellness vibes for anyone after a proper reset. Over in Armação de Pêra, Vilalara Grand Hotel Algarve rounds out the west with a more indulgent, grand-hotel feel right on the coast.

Central Algarve: marinas, golf and beach clubs

Vilamoura is the Algarve's marina heartland, and Hyatt Regency Vilamoura Algarve puts you right in the thick of it, an easy stroll from the boats, bars and championship golf the area's known for. A little further along in Quarteira, Hotel Atismar offers a good-value base close to the beach and the town's daily fish market.

East Algarve: quieter towns, real Portugal

For something further off the well-worn tourist trail, the eastern Algarve rewards a bit of exploring. Ozadi Tavira Hotel sits in Tavira, one of the region's prettiest and least-crowded towns, all cobbled streets and Roman bridges. In Olhão, Hotel Cidade De Olhao keeps you close to one of the Algarve's most authentic working fishing ports. And right near the Spanish border, Vasco Da Gama Hotel in Monte Gordo is a solid choice for anyone wanting long, quiet stretches of sand without the crowds.

Wherever you land along the coast, Algarve hotels make it easy to mix beach days with a proper taste of Portugal.
