Map & location


Albufeira, Algarve, Portugal

Paladim Alagoamar Hotel enjoys a convenient spot in Albufeira, one of the Algarve’s best-loved resorts. You’re close enough to walk to almost everything: the long sandy beach, the cobbled Old Town with its whitewashed houses and restaurants, and the livelier Strip with its bars and late-night venues.

The immediate surroundings are practical and easy – supermarkets, cafés and casual eateries are just around the corner – making this a particularly good choice if you like to mix eating out with self-catering. From here you can also head out to nearby waterparks, marinas and golf courses, or explore further along the coast to quieter coves and clifftop viewpoints.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The pool scene is one of the hotel’s biggest draws.

Main Pool
A generous outdoor freshwater pool forms the centre of the complex, edged with plenty of sunbeds and parasols. There’s a separate children’s section in the main pool, and inflatables are permitted, which keeps younger guests happy.

Children’s Pool
A dedicated outdoor freshwater children’s pool offers extra splash space for little ones and more peace of mind for parents, again with its own sunbathing terrace, loungers and parasols.

Pool towels are available for a local charge, and facilities, depths and lifeguard cover can vary by pool and season.

Beach
The nearest stretch of golden sand is roughly 800m away – close enough to walk, or just a short taxi ride if you’re toting beach bags and inflatables. This part of the Algarve coastline is known for clear water and a good mix of water sports and boat trips in high season.

Main Restaurant
An à la carte restaurant serving international cuisine for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. There’s a kids’ menu and highchairs, and the atmosphere is relaxed but smart – the hotel asks that beachwear is not worn.
Breakfast is usually buffet-style, with some low-season dates switching to à la carte. If you book Half Board, dinner is served as a three-course à la carte set menu, including one glass of wine, beer, juice or water with the evening meal.
