Below is a mix of the Best Boutique Hotels and Guesthouses in the Algarve we have visited and love, plus those on our radar - divided by the following sub-regions:
For those of you who haven’t visited, the Algarve is Portugal’s most sought after destination – and there are many good reasons why. It’s a region with an unforgettable scent of almonds, oranges and figs.
What many people don’t realise is that it’s actually a great place to visit off-season too, with 300 days of sunshine per year and an average temperature of 17°C in January (and no crowds).
We have handpicked for you our favourite places to stay in the Algarve ☀️, divided into the Eastern Algarve and Western Algarve regions.
The Western Algarve is a great option for beach lovers with its cliff-edged beaches and tiny coves. The laid back towns of Lagos and Sagres are perfect for those who want a little bit of action. Costa Vicentina is all about its sleepy villages and spectacular wild beaches. A wonderful base for surfing, walking, cycling, canoeing, and birdwatching. Or maybe just chilling.
