Great Japonese eatery, but the sushi to-go is great: 18 pieces for around 5,50€ per person! You can choose three sets of six of your favourite flavours, or choose one collection from the set menu...

Ask for the set menu - you can have a bowl of homemade soup, bread and butter, main dish (grilled steak, salmon, chicken, mixed grill etc.), dessert (apple pie, chocolate mousse, creme caramel etc.), a bottle of red or white wine between 2 people AND a coffee for only 8€ per person! It's no 5 star hotel, but it's clean and comfortable and superb value for money! Open usually from 6pm onwards. Best to call and reserve a table in high season...

Drinks & Nightlife

Great for live bands and a good mix of music... also great location for a night of variety - right on the lower end of the famous main 'strip', it makes a great start (or finish) to a night out! :)

Dance salsa/kizumba/bachata by night, learn how if you can't already and listen to the awesome Martin Jonathan in the afternoon... Sangria Bar is in our favourite of all places in Albufeira - the marina.

Parks & Nature

Best place to see those delicious sunsets - and when the tide goes out there are plenty of rock pools nearer to Pedras Amarelas bar and restaurant. This is our favourite place to bodyboard, and you can also walk all the way to the next village on the same stretch of beach (Armacao de Pera). Love it!!!

Great for families with small children or anyone not overly excited at the thought of swimming in the sea, Arrifes is great because when the tide goes out, the rocks keep the sea in, making a natural and calm saltwater pool that we love to snorkel in!

There is an old tradition that the 'healing water of Monchique' is so special that it was once considered magical. Kings and Queens from all over Europe came to this place to drink from the fountains... The locals bake fresh bread with salami (pão com chouriço) every day at 12:00 in the town square, and the rich flora and fauna of the gardens at Caldas make you wonder if there is some truth to the legend... great place to spend a calm, peaceful, healing day out.

More 'secret' than most beaches as it isn't on a main road and can be a little on the tricky side to locate, but a spectacular place to visit nonetheless... after descending down some rocky stairs that look like they have been there since the dawn of time, you can see the ocean coming through a hole in the rocks, making a unique and beautiful little beach/private bay. A must-see for anyone who appreciates nature and scenery.
