Recommended Hotels

Visitors have a vast range of accommodation options in this part of Portugal. Hotels are scattered across the major towns and resorts of the Algarve, but densely clustered in sprawling resorts that stretch from Lagos to Faro – especially around Portimão, Albufeira and Vilamoura.

For making reservations, Portugal’s country code is 351; the prefixes for the Algarve are 281, 282 and 289.
