Luxury homes for sale in Albufeira

Unique amenities and natural beauty make Albufeira a standout location for those looking to live within the Faro District of Portugal. Noted for its beautiful coastal lifestyle, Albufeira features a unique combination of modern lifestyle and older, architecturally beautiful buildings, including several 18th-century churches and town squares. 

Albufeira – a popular tourism destination thanks to the resorts there and the beautiful, protected cove it sits on – offers an exciting lifestyle with clean, sandy beaches, nightclubs and restaurants, as well as exceptional theme parks. Aside from the tourism aspects of the city, it also features a strong economic base and ample recreational amenities, including parks, as well as solid schools, city services and retailers. 

With a population of around 44,000 residents, the number of people in Albufeira grows to over 300,000 during the summer months and during the winter holiday season when tourists from around the world flock to the area for the stunning weather and beaches.  

Numerous beautiful buildings exist throughout the city, including the Bridge of Paderne, Cine-Theatre of Albufeira and the Fiscal Guard Post of Albufeira. Along the coastline, it is possible to see the Lighthouse of Albufeira in the distance, though other locations in the city, such as the 19th-century railway station and the Tower Clock, are some of the most interesting thanks to their Portuguese-Algarvean style. 

Numerous churches, some of which date to the 18th century, are present in Albufeira as well, including the Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceicao and the Church of Nossa Senhora da Guia.  

A strong marine-focused city with a large fishing economy, today much of the marina region is home to luxury yachts and people looking for a way to relax under the warm sun and to spend time socializing on the weekends. 

Residents of the city have ample to do and explore, even if they do nothing more than take to the beach, such as Praia Sao Rafael, one of the more secluded areas with stunning blue waters.  

Popular beaches, including Praia dos Salgodos and Praia dos Pescadores, are popular for sunbathing, while the rocky shores of Praia da Coelha are less accessible at the water level but provide spectacular views of the waterfront from on top of the cliffs. Boat trips are an excellent way to explore the region, or many take to kayak tours as a way to explore the caverns and waterways. 

Other area activities include the Zoomarine Algarve, a fun waterpark ideal for all ages, and exploring Adega do Cantor, a winery and vineyard that offers tours. 

Notable areas to live within the Faro District in Albufeira include properties along the coastline, of which there are often few. Many of those who fall in love with the area also purchase land to build stunning custom homes.  

Individuals planning to live in Albufeira are likely to find other homes nestled near golf courses and green spaces, often with significant distance between neighbors for ample privacy. New development is also occurring there, particularly near the waterfront on the cliffs, with resort-like amenities and direct access to the waterfront.  

Luxury properties, including properties near the marina, are often large homes with palatial features, and while no typical neighborhood layout is present thanks to the area’s more spread out lifestyle, Albufeira is home to a wide range of stunning communities with golf courses, spas and tennis courts.
