🔥 Top 10 Ideas in Albufeira for 2025
1
BBQ Cruise
Cruise the Barlavento coastline as you soak up the sun, sink a couple of glasses of wine and tuck into a delicious stag-sized BBQ. You'll also stop at a secluded beach where you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the ocean.
2
Buggy Safari
This 2-hour tour of the Algarve outback is a great way to spend a few hours on the stag. In pairs, you'll jump in your buggies and cruise the country terrain which takes in part of the Portuguese World Rally course.
3
Go Karting
F1 fans can take on a 750-metre replica of the Brazilian F1 track (Interlagos). Behind the wheel of your 200cc karts, you can finally separate the Lewis Hamiltons from the Sunday drivers and crown the Stag Karting Champ.
4
Bubble Football
Portugal has produced some of the greatest footballers in history (Figo, Ronaldo, and Eusebio, to name but a few), so it's only right you pay homage to them by showing off your silky skills. The only issue is you'll be encased in giant bubble suits for 60 minutes (but it is a stag do, after all).
5
Party Boat
Albufeira knows how to party! So, when you're offered the chance to book a 2-hour party boat on the groom's big weekend, you should take it. Get transfers from the Strip and enjoy pre-drinks in a bar before you hop on board for an afternoon of live DJs, shot girls and bottomless drinks.
6
Benagil Caves Cruise
Embark on a 38-mile coastal cruise as you get the opportunity to explore the iconic Benagil Cave. You'll get to stop for a swim stop en route and dolphin-spotting is not uncommon in these parts.
7
Waterpark
This is how you beat the heat Albufeira-style. The best way to conquer any sore heads from the night before, you and the boys will enjoy epic rides on flumes, slides, wave pools, doughnut rings and more.
8
Jeep Safari
Jump in your jeeps and hit the road. Yes, this is how you sightsee, gents - not on a boring bus tour, but in your own high-powered 4x4. A great chance to get off-road-and-personal with some of the best that Albufeira has to offer.
8
Paintballing
Paintballing is a stag classic for a reason... it's epic. Where else would you get to shoot the groom from point-blank range, repeatedly? Suit up in your overalls and set your sights firmly on the opposing team. Game on!
10
Golf
The Algarve is a golfing hotspot, so it would be pretty poor form to come to Albufeira and not get a round in at a local club. We have a range of courses on our books, so let us know your requirements, and we'll find the one that suits your group.

Where to Go on Your Albufeira Stag Night
The Strip
Albufeira Strip is where the party's at. Located on the Avenida Francisco Sá Carneiro, you won't be short of places to party along the 2km street. The Strip tends to get busy around 10/11 and will carry on partying til late (or should we say 'early').
Old Town
For a more relaxed drinking vibe, head to the Old Town which is located at the far end of the Praia de Albufeira beach. It's a great place to find a bar in amongst the iconic whitewashed buildings.
Quarteira
Quarteira is located 20km away from Albufeira, close to Vilamoura, but boasts some massive clubs and a cracking party scene. Definitely worth a trip if you're going there for a few nights.
Praia da Oura
Praia da Oura is a quieter beach a couple of kilometres to the east of Albufeira. There are a fair few bars in and around the area that are worth checking out.

The Best Time to Go
According to our stats for 2023, 83% of stags heading to Albufeira went there in April, May or June.
These are the best months to go (in our opinion) as the Strip is well and truly up and running and you avoid the price hikes of the summer holidays.
How Long Do People Go For?
The majority of groups (78%) who partied in Albufeira with us last year went there for 3 or 4 nights (4 or 5 days).
If you're going to a sunny destination like Albufeira and sitting on a plane for 3 hours each way, you don't want to be going there for less time than that.
Yes, you can do a European city in 2 or 3 nights, but for a sunny place like Albufeira, you need at least one extra day to relax in the sun.
How Soon Do People Book?
Stags heading to Albufeira tend booked 5 months in advance in 2023, which is one month earlier than most other destinations (to secure the best flights, etc.).
We'd advise booking no later than this as all the best hotels and nights out will be snapped up by other more-organised stag groups.
Where to Stay in Albufeira
We have a cracking range of options for you to choose from - from budget-friendly and luxury hotels to incredible apartments, you'll be able to find the perfect stag stay with ease.

What Airport to Fly To...
Faro Airport is the closest airport to Albufeira. A lot of UK airports have flights out but be sure to check in advance.
How Long is the Flight from the UK?

Getting from the Airport to Albufeira...
It's 30 miles away and will take around 40 minutes to get to Albufeira (traffic dependent).
You can download the ANA App from the App Store or Google Play, which will tell you what baggage carousel to head to and help you figure out the best transport for getting to Albufeira.
There are regular buses (Aerobus 56 and Bus 16) waiting outside Arrivals which can take you to the city centre for as little as €8 or you could get a taxi for around €75 between a group of you.
However, the easiest and least stressful way by a mile is to let StagWeb sort airport transfers for you. They'll be ready and waiting for you at the airport and will take you straight to your accommodation.
No faff, no hassle - just tick the box on your Albufeira enquiry and we'll get them added to your weekend.
