Faro holiday intelligence

Where to stay in the Algarve

Faro Airport is the entry point for the whole Algarve coastline, not a single resort area — most travellers landing at Faro are heading elsewhere along the coast rather than staying in Faro itself.

Faro Airport serves a wide stretch of the Algarve, and the resort towns it connects to differ significantly in character and distance from the airport.

Checked 15 August 2026. Factual examples only, not a ranking or recommendation. Prices, availability and package inclusions are not shown.

Areas to consider

Faro city

The airport's own city, with an old town core — a smaller, less resort-focused base than the towns further along the coast.

Albufeira

A major Algarve resort town west of Faro, with a large concentration of hotels and a well-established tourist strip.

Vilamoura

A purpose-built marina resort area between Faro and Albufeira, known for its marina, beaches and golf resorts.

Lagos

A historic town further west along the coast, with its own beaches and old-town character, a longer transfer from Faro Airport than Albufeira or Vilamoura.
