Albufeira is one of the favorite destinations for Portuguese people and tourists when it comes to spending holidays in Algarve!
The city that joins a beautiful historical center, a bustling marina and the most beautiful Algarve’s beaches conquers, every summer, high numbers of tourism and is the stage for diverse outdoor events, among many other activities.
Since it is such a busy city during the summer, it is essential that you plan your holidays in Albufeira with some care, so that everything runs smoothly!
1. Think about your key needs
Preparing your holidays in Albufeira means thinking about the needs you want to attend in this well-deserved resting time!
This includes, for example, the number of days you want to stay in Albufeira. A short-term accommodation is relatively easy to find during the summer months, while a longer stay should be sought in advance.
Another key aspect to decide is the characteristics of the holiday house or hotel of your choice. Do you want air conditioning in your room? Access to pool or garden? A balcony where you can eat? In Algarve, the choice is wide and varied, which allow you to find several hotel rooms or even rent a house quickly!
You should also think about whether you prefer to stay in a more central or more peripheral part of the city. Here, everything will depend on whether you like a busier or quieter environment!
2. Set your budget
The budget you have available will also greatly influence your decisions, so thinking about how much you want to spend on your vacation is a very important thing.
If you have a large budget, the choices are endless. However, the lower your budget is, the more in-depth your research should be. In this case, choosing to rent a house instead of staying in a hotel is a good tip to save some money and be able to enjoy your vacation without worries. There are rental houses for all tastes in Albufeira, from private villas to studios near the beach.
By avoiding the most central areas of the city, you will also be able to find more affordable prices and take advantage of tranquility on your holidays in Albufeira!
3. Book in advance!
Since Albufeira is one of the most popular destinations in Algarve, booking your stay in advance is something you should definitely do.
This way, you can already start to search for some accommodations for next summer. When you find the apartment that suits you best, contact the agency or the owner directly to make your reservation without any hurry or conditioner. Do not take the risk of finding your dream house and it later being already reserved when you try to book it!
Once you book your holidays in Albufeira, you just have to choose all the places to visit and the activities in which you want to participate! Enjoy the beach or play on renowned golf courses, such as Salgados, Pine Cliffs and Balaia Golf Village. Visit also the surroundings of Albufeira, such as Guia or the Paderne locality!
