Thanks to its favourable climate, stunning beaches and varied terrain, the Algarve attracts visitors all year round. While it\u2019s a popular spot for golfers, it can also be the perfect summer holiday if you are looking for somewhere as a family. If you are considering visiting the Algarve as a family, in this article you\u2019ll find a 3-day itinerary, perfect if the Algarve is part of a wider European tour or leaving time to plan your own days if you intend on visiting for a week or longer.<\/p>\n
Where To Stay In The Algarve<\/h2>\n
The Algarve spans approximately 5,000 square kilometers<\/a>, so when it comes to deciding where to stay, it\u2019s fair to say you are spoilt for choice. While this gives you plenty of options in terms of the different resorts, it can be a little overwhelming if you are a first time visitor.\u00a0<\/p>\n This article contains affiliate links.

Staying in Lagos puts you within close proximity of some of the Algarve\u2019s best beaches. Its central location also makes it a good base for day trips, some of which we\u2019ll be recommending as part of our 3 day itinerary. As one of the biggest cities in the Algarve, accommodation options are plentiful and varied, ranging from five star hotels to some of the best family friendly Algarve villas<\/a>.<\/p>\n Part of the Algarve\u2019s golden triangle, Quinta do Lago is considered one of the most exclusive and premium resorts in the region. It\u2019s probably geared more towards older tourists but would still be a great option if travelling with teenagers<\/a> who could appreciate the resort\u2019s picturesque cycling routes and championship-standard golf courses.<\/p>\n The Algarve\u2019s liveliest region is Albufeira, but if you are just picturing booze-fueled, party holidays, you are probably underestimating Albufeira. While it does attract more tourists than Lagos, the Old Town still offers an authentic taste of Portugal with a wide range of restaurants and cafes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
