Best Alporchinhos holiday apartments

Alporchinhos is a predominantly purpose built holiday resort on Portugal’s Algarve coast, just five or so miles west of Albufeira. Many people have bought apartments here to live year round and a holiday apartment in Alporchinhos from 9flats will place you in the middle of the community. You can think of your holiday apartment in Alporchinhos in the same way as couchsurfing in Alporchinhos, but with your holiday accommodation in Alporchinhos from 9flats, you get the added benefits of the increased comfort and privacy that come with your own private room or whole apartment. Becoming part of the community is a great way to learn about your destination from a local perspective not usually available to tourists. With a bit of luck you could get some tips from your hosts to make your visit even more memorable.

Enjoying your holiday apartment in Alporchinhos

If you are looking for a laid back beach holiday then Alporchinhos is for you. This is a low rise resort of apartments and villas and life here centres on the beautiful beaches. Those beaches are pretty spectacular and feature the craggy rock formations and outcrops that typify the Algarve coastline. Being so far south, the Algarve has great weather all year and is a haven for water sports enthusiasts even in winter. Wind surfing, diving and kite surfing are all popular and on land you can take advantage of the great tennis and golf facilities. There are some good hiking routes in the hinterland and along the coast and a couple of spas in the area where you can unwind afterwards.

Choosing your holiday accommodation in Alporchinhos

For a more lively experience, a holiday apartment in Lagos is only a dozen miles to the west. Here you will find some of Portugal’s best nightlife but this is no high rise club resort. Instead, Lagos has a beautiful and historic old town and is the centre for Portugal’s Age of Discovery, with many museums and exhibitions. The town has also won a prestigious award for sustainable tourism. Some six miles to the east of Alporchinhos meanwhile, a holiday apartment in Abufeira could see you right in the middle of the action in Albufeira’s famous ‘strip’. Here you will find some of the liveliest bars and clubs on the Algarve. If you prefer a quieter location, the Old Town area might be for you.

Leaving the Alporchinhos area

Many people restrict themselves to the Algarve when visiting Portugal, but the country’s Atlantic or ‘Silver’ coast is also stunning and perhaps less busy. A holiday apartment in Lisbon is a great base to explore the area and enjoy Portugal’s unspoilt capital. Another Iberian capital well worth a visit is that of Spain and a holiday apartment in Madrid will let you explore the cultural wonders of the Prado art gallery before watching the world go by in a pavement cafe on the Plaza Mayor. Whether your travels take you to Europe or further afield, 9flats is sure to have the ideal accommodation, so remember to book with us for an authentic travel experience.
