Solaqua Aparthotel 4 stars

The Solaqua Aparthotel is in old Albufeira, just minutes away from Zoomarine Algarve, Albufeira Marina and Santa Eulalia Beach. The main city centre is 2 km away and the lively Montechoro Strip is 1.3 km from the hotel. The beach has plenty of loungers and parasols to relax on as well as watersorts to try out.

Albufeira is one of the most popular resorts in the Algarve. Located on Portugal’s south eastern coastline, it boasts plenty of golden sandy beaches on which to relax and enjoy the long sunny days. The ‘Strip’ is a busy area where tourists can find plenty of shops, bars and restaurants, plus a lively nightlife with clubs open until the early hours.

The Old Town was destroyed by an earthquake in 1755 and all that remains now is part of the castle walls dating back to Roman times, and the clock tower that is lit up on festive occasions. The square is a pretty place to visit with cafes, restaurants and bars and narrow, cobbled streets winding up into the hillside.
