Paraiso Albufeira Hotel – Albufeira
The Algarve is the tourist capital of Portugal, with visitors in their thousands flocking to the beautiful coastal resorts every year.
The British have long been fans – possibly due to the fantastic temperate climate, and the fact that the Algarve has more sunlight hours than any other place in Europe. Portugal’s coastline is golden, spacious and exceptionally beautiful and the Algarve has over 150 kilometres of soft sands, deep blue Atlantic sea and fantastic towns, resorts and countryside to enjoy.
Where to stay
Another feature of the Algarve is the wide range of accommodation on offer – everything from full-board hotels to the ever popular ‘aparthotels’ offering a range of studios and apartments on a self-catering or half-board basis for families and other groups. One ever popular hotel is the Aparthotel Paraiso Albufeira.
