Located just a short drive from Albufeira, Zoomarine is one of Portugal’s best family attractions. Enjoy dolphin shows, water slides, an aquarium, and even a beach wave pool. It’s a full day out with plenty for all ages.
A firm favourite with Irish families, this large waterpark is located near Lagoa and offers adrenaline-pumping slides, lazy rivers, and dedicated kids’ zones. You can easily arrange transport or book as an excursion through your hotel.
Albufeira’s marina is the starting point for fun family boat trips. Choose from pirate ships, dolphin-watching cruises, or explore the famous Benagil sea caves. Most are half-day trips and very child-friendly.
Enjoy some relaxed time exploring cobbled streets filled with local shops, snack bars, and performers. It’s a great way to introduce younger visitors to a bit of local culture.
Head to Pau da Bandeira Viewpoint or a rooftop bar in the Old Town to catch a romantic sunset over the Atlantic.
Treat yourselves to a candlelit dinner at one of Albufeira’s beachfront restaurants. Casa del Mar and Cabana Fresca offer superb food with sea views.
Many hotels like Pine Cliffs Resort and EPIC SANA Algarve offer full-service spas. Book a couple’s massage or unwind in a tranquil wellness centre.
Book a guided food and wine tour through the countryside or take a sunset cruise with drinks included. Great for couples who enjoy a mix of culture and relaxation.
