THE BEST HOTEL IN ALBUFEIRA

Vila Joya

$$$$ | Estrada da Galé, Albufeira, 8200-917, Portugal

FODOR’S EXPERT REVIEW

Stylish rooms and suites have a decadent feel, and some boast indoor or outdoor whirlpool tubs and fireplaces. Outside you'll find beautifully landscaped gardens with a heated pool and access to a semi-private beach. Don't miss the hotel's eponymous restaurant: one of Portugal's most highly rated, helmed by a two-Michelin-star chef.

Pros

  • Exceptional service from staff
  • Exquisite spa
  • Sits in harmony with its green surroundings

Cons

  • Not much to do in surrounding area
  • A little difficult to find
  • Enormously expensive

Hotel Vila Galé Cerro Alagoa

$$$ | Rua do Municipio Lt. 26, Albufeira, 8200-916, Portugal

One of Albufeira's most popular lodgings is a 10-minute walk from the main square. Smart, well-equipped rooms have private balconies; ask for one with a sea view, or you may end up facing the busy main road. Reserve well in advance for summer stays here, as package-tour operators tend to book whole blocks of rooms.

Pros

  • Central to both old and new towns
  • Fantastic spa which includes a hammam
  • Helpful with organizing excursions

Cons

  • Size feels overwhelming
  • Feels businesslike in areas
  • The pool area gets very busy
