Condominio Jardins Santa Eulalia by Garvetur  

In Albufeira’s eastern stretch, this family-friendly apartment is a short walk from the sand. It’s about a 7-minute stroll to Santa Eulália Beach, 0.6 miles from Praia da Oura, 17 minutes to Maria Luísa Beach and roughly 3.5 miles from Old Town; Faro Airport is about 24 miles away.

Set around an inner courtyard, units come with balconies or patios, garden views, seating areas and fully equipped kitchens — great for families. Rooms vary by category, there’s an elevator for accessibility, and staff speak English, Spanish and French.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, enjoy a kids’ pool and on-site aquapark, or lounge on the terrace and in the garden. Practical perks include free private parking, paid airport shuttle/transfer, bike and car rental, a diving club, laundry and dry cleaning, an on-site doctor, and easy access to local hiking.

An on-site restaurant serves local Portuguese/Algarve flavors, while each apartment’s fully equipped kitchen lets you self-cater. Grab morning coffee on your balcony or head out to nearby seafood spots within walking distance.
