Muthu Clube Praia da Oura

You’ll find the Muthu Clube Praia da Oura in a well-located spot in Albufeira. Popular during the summer months with younger couples and friends, the hotel offers a lively atmosphere and a great base close to Albufeira’s vibrant nightlife. It’s just a few minutes’ stroll from the caramel-coloured sands of Oura Beach, and if you head in the opposite direction, you’ll reach the resort’s shops, bars, and restaurants. A 10-minute taxi ride will also take you to the heart of Albufeira’s old town.

Days here revolve around the water. There are two outdoor pools to pick from, as well as a shallow swimming spot for little ones to enjoy when they’re not at the kids’ club. Each pool is framed by a team of sun loungers and parasols, and the poolside snack bar keeps drinks and light bites coming throughout the day. Jac’s restaurant is also on hand at mealtimes – there’s an international buffet for breakfast and lunch, and they offer an à la carte menu at dinnertime. For drinks, pick between the Ocean Bar and the Piano Bar.

All the rooms and apartments here come with kitchen facilities, which is ideal if you fancy self-catering while you’re away. Expect a microwave, a toaster, double cooking rings, a fridge, and a kettle. Plus, you’ll also have a private bathroom, and a balcony or terrace to chill out on.
