Real Bellavista Hotel – Albufeira

The Algarve in Portugal is one of the sunniest places in Europe. As a result, tourists visit in their thousands every year to take in the endless beaches, temperate climate and stunning Atlantic coastline.

The Algarve also has many other attractions – including picturesque towns and villages, many sports and leisure facilities, bustling resorts and plenty of good hotels and apartments.

The Real Bellavista Hotel

Many of these Algarve hotels are well set up for families and groups, with studios and apartments designed for group stays. One such hotel is the Real Bellavista Hotel in Albufeira.

There is also round the clock room service and the maids clean the rooms each day.

Hotel Location

The Real Bellavista Hotel is situated in a peaceful area of Albufeira, close enough to walk into the centre of the town but located far enough away from the noise of the Algarve holiday-making crowds. The hotel is about a fifteen minute walk to the old part of town and the beach, or is simply a quick taxi drive away for nights out in Albufeira town. If you are feeling jaded after a hard day’s sunbathing, there is a complimentary shuttle bus to the town, which also goes to the beach.

For children there is a kid’s club to enjoy, run by qualified professional staff and a babysitting service can be arranged for the evenings. There is also a fully manned reception service, with friendly staff on hand who are happy to answer questions or help organise services such as travel excursions or transport.

Things to do in and Around the Real Bellavista Hotel

Portugal is a country with some great culture, and the Algarve has various lovely old fishing villages and picturesque villages to explore – many with old squares, lovely old churches and winding walks. These are great for a day trip, and it’s worth checking out some of the restaurants you’ll find along the way – some of the Algarve food is excellent, and the locals are very friendly too. The resort towns are good for livelier visits, particularly if you’re looking for international cuisine, some bars and good nightlife – one of the many hallmarks of the Algarve region.

Nearby Albufeira has the famous ’strip’ which offers all of these attractions, along with tourist shops and supermarkets, and the marina is also worth a stroll around, again with excellent restaurants and places to enjoy a drink. If you like sport, the Algarve has plenty of golf courses, opportunities for horse riding, and plenty of cycle tracks. Water sports are also very popular, with the beaches and coastline in Albufeira offering good opportunities for diving, sailing and jet-skiing.
