Introduction to Albufeira


Occupied by the Arabs in AD 718 and aptly named Al-Buhera (Castle of the Sea), Albufeira has come a long way. In more recent times it has exploded from its fishing village shell to become the largest and busiest spot on the Algarve.

Albufeira offers the visitor a truly all-inclusive package. Splendidly rooted in the tranquility of nature, Albufeira is famous for its beaches, dramatic cliffs and rock varieties. Further inland, the green countryside is generously dispersed with almond, fig, orange and pine trees.

This relaxation-inducing atmosphere is perfectly counterbalanced by a bustling social life in the form of restaurants, cafes, bars and discos that bring the nights to life. Albufeira’s sports offering is also extraordinary: golf, tennis and water sports satisfy the requirements of mutli-level sportsmen and -women.
