Overview

 
Perched in a quiet, scenic pocket just outside lively Albufeira, Hotel Maritur is an adults‑only, 4-star retreat with big Algarve views. You’re close enough to dip into the Old Town and the Strip when you want buzz, but far enough away to wake to sea air, birdsong and the sound of the waves. Two outdoor pools, an indoor pool and bright, comfortable rooms make this an easy-going base for couples who want beach days, lazy lie‑ins and sunset strolls to Praia dos Arrifes.

From its raised position overlooking the coastline just west of Albufeira, Hotel Maritur pairs sweeping Atlantic views with a calm, adults-only vibe. Think unhurried breakfasts, a choice of pools, and sunset walks to hidden coves – all with the restaurants and nightlife of Albufeira within easy reach by taxi or rideshare. For couples seeking Algarve charm without being in the thick of the nightlife, Hotel Maritur delivers the perfect balance. It sits in a peaceful spot on the outskirts of Albufeira, with Praia dos Arrifes around 800m away and Albufeira Old Town roughly 3.2km. Transfer time from Faro Airport is around 1 hour 30 minutes.

Map & location


Albufeira, Algarve, Portugal

Hotel Maritur enjoys a quiet hillside position just west of central Albufeira, in easy reach of some of the Algarve’s most photogenic coves. A short walk brings you to Praia dos Arrifes, a small, golden-sand beach characterised by three dramatic rock formations rising from turquoise water – perfect for sunrise photos and late-afternoon dips.

You’re about 3.2km from Albufeira Old Town, where whitewashed streets tumble down towards a broad sandy bay lined with cafés and restaurants. The buzzy Strip, around 4.2km away, offers late‑night bars and clubs if you want a livelier evening, but you’ll return to a calm, adults-only base at the end of the night.

Local restaurants are as little as 80m from the hotel, giving you options for low‑key dinners within strolling distance if you don’t feel like heading into town.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 30 minutes from Faro (FAO)

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


With two outdoor pools plus an indoor pool, there’s somewhere to swim whatever the weather.

Pool areas
• 2 outdoor freshwater pools with sunbathing terraces, sunbeds and parasols (one typically open 01 Apr–30 Sep, the other available longer)
• Indoor freshwater pool for cooler days or a more tranquil swim
• Pool towels available with a refundable deposit

The nearest beach is about 800m away. Praia dos Arrifes is a pretty cove backed by cliffs, with calm water and those signature rock stacks – a classic Algarve photo stop and a great place to relax away from the bigger resort beaches.

Spa, sports & wellness


While Hotel Maritur doesn’t aim to be a full‑on activity resort, it covers the essentials for a comfortable adults‑only stay:

• Indoor pool suitable for gentle laps or a refreshing dip
• On-site mini‑market for essentials, drinks and snacks
• Free Wi‑Fi in reception and lounge areas
• Quiet lounges and terraces to read, work remotely or simply take in the sea air

Sports, spa and entertainment programmes can be limited or seasonal here – this property is best suited to guests who want peace, space by the pool and easy access to the wider Albufeira area for activities and nightlife.

Activities


At Hotel Maritur, the focus is on unwinding rather than packed entertainment schedules. Typical ways to spend your time include:

• Relaxing by the outdoor pools with a book and a drink
• Enjoying a leisurely swim in the indoor pool
• Walking down to Praia dos Arrifes and nearby coves
• Heading into Albufeira Old Town for strolls, dining and people‑watching
• Joining boat trips, dolphin‑watching cruises or water sports from Albufeira Marina (bookable locally)

Activity programmes can be light or seasonal, so this hotel suits independent travellers who like to set their own pace and explore.
