A stunning clifftop enclave of Portugal’s Algarve, Albufeira provides a postcard-worthy backdrop to any all-inclusive holiday. Jam-packed with resort trappings from waterparks and spas to kids’ clubs and amazing a la carte restaurants, it’s got everything you need to turn a cheap holiday into an unforgettable experience.
There is plenty to enjoy outside the resort too – from hiking, diving, dolphin watching, and cave cruises, to spending lazy days on one of Albufeira’s beautiful golden beaches.

As the Algarve’s unofficial hub for affordable all-inclusive holidays, Albufeira has all bases covered, whether you want to relax by the pool, unwind in the spa or spend your days splashing down waterslides. Here are a few of the best.
The Jupiter Albufeira Hotel offers one day’s free entry to its Soul SPA as part of its all-inclusive package. By the time you’ve made your way around the jacuzzi, waterfalls, sauna, sensory showers and traditional Turkish bath, you’ll be ready to settle in for an international buffet and the evening’s live show.
Nightly live music, a pool with a view, and a relaxation room with a choice of treatments – there’s enough to do at Hotel Portobay Falésia to keep you entertained for every hour of the day. Direct access to Praia da Falésia beach means a refreshing dip in the sea is never far away.
With access to its water park and fitness centre included in the all-inclusive package price, you can work hard and play hard at 3HB Clube Humbria. The poolside bar, live shows and extensive cocktail menu are perfect for holidaymakers looking to get into the party spirit. When it’s time to unwind, book into the spa for a massage.

Combine Albufeira’s in-resort water parks, kids’ clubs, and paddling pools, with the city’s adventure parks, rock pools and sand sculptures, and you have all the ingredients for a memorable family getaway. And the abundance of all-inclusive family resorts make it easy to enjoy a hassle-free, comfortable, and convenient holiday with the little ones in tow.
Da Balaia Club Med caters for all ages with a dedicated Baby Club, playgrounds, sports lessons and talent shows. An adults-only eco-pool, Gourmet Lounge and neighbouring golf course are perfect for a little me-time, too. For an extra cost, the resort also runs regular excursions to the caves, cliffs and islands around the Algarve.
A babysitting and baby concierge service ensures that your VILP (Very Important Little People) are well taken care of at The Patio Hotel. Older kids can get their hands dirty making mug cakes and Algarve loaf. You can also rent bikes, so the whole family can explore the surrounding pine groves, beaches and fishing villages.
The Jupiter Albufeira Hotel’s tagline, Family & Fun, tells you exactly what to expect. And with a kids club, games room, archery, Zumba, mud moulding and more, it most certainly delivers. That’s all before you’ve set foot in the resort’s towering Jupiter World aqua park with flumes, splash zones for the little ones and adults-only pools.

Albufeira’s striking red cliffs provide the backdrop for many of its best beaches. Choose from golden sands packed with sun-loungers, rugged coves and beautiful bays — all within easy reach of incredible all-inclusive resorts. There’s just as much variety on the water, with jet skiing, parasailing, paddle boarding and more.
Salgados Beach’s golden dunes and occasional flamingo visits make it one of the Algarve’s most beautiful stretches of sand. And when you stay at the nearby Salgados Palace Hotel for seven nights or more, you’ll get free access to the resort spa for your entire stay. That’s all the massages, facials, stone scrubs and jacuzzi time you could wish for.
The 3HB Club Humbria gives you four-star all-inclusive excellence with ocean views. If you manage to break free from the lure of the pool bar and live shows on the outdoor terrace, the rusty cliffs and four-mile shoreline of Praia da Falesia are mere minutes away.
The popular Praia dos Pescadores is a prime spot for beach bars and people-watching by the harbour. Stay at the Vila Gale Cerro Alagoa and a regular shuttle will run you between the hotel, beach and old town. That’s when you’re not splitting your time between the resort’s Turkish bath and supersized pool.
