Some of the best stag weekends take place far away from your hometown. The further away you are, the more like a holiday it feels. If that's the case, why not get as relaxed as possible by travelling to this beautiful beachside city in Portugal?
Located on the south coast of the country, Albufeira has unbelievable temperatures, often reaching 30 degrees in the summer months. This makes it a top-tier contender for anyone who wants a stag weekend with some sun, sea, and sand! In fact, everyone in our office who has been to Albufeira ranks it as their favourite beachside destination.
To make life easier, we have curated some exclusive packages that combine the best activities with central accommodation.
1. The "Albufeira Party Boat" Package
This is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. It includes 2 nights in central apartments, return airport transfers, and tickets to the legendary Sunset Boat Party. You'll enjoy an open bar, DJs, and a swim stop in the ocean. It is the perfect way to kick off a big night out.

Where you stay is crucial. Unlike the UK where hotels dominate, Albufeira is all about self-catering.
For large groups who want privacy and a base for pool parties, our Private Villas are unbeatable. We offer an exclusive complex of 7 villas with private pools and BBQ areas. It means you can recover from the night before without worrying about noise complaints from other hotel guests.
Alternatively, our Central Apartments near The Strip are perfect if you want to be right in the action. They are budget-friendly and give you a communal space to enjoy a few beers before heading out.
Sunny European destinations can be brilliant, but some offer little in the way of stag activities. Luckily, that’s not the case here. This city has so much to offer that you’ll have trouble fitting it all in.
If you want high-octane thrills, why not rev your engines on a Buggy Safari through the Algarve countryside? Or explore the coastline on high-speed Jet Skis? For something unique to the area, try Gorge Scrambling (Coasteering) – jumping off cliffs into the sea is a sure-fire way to wake everyone up!
We haven’t yet mentioned the most popular activities – the boat trips. Whether you want to be part of the biggest floating party on a Party Boat Cruise, or prefer something secluded like a Private Yacht Charter, getting out on the water is essential.
For a more relaxed vibe, a round of Golf on one of the Algarve's world-class courses or a Vineyard Tour are great options for the afternoon.
Nightlife in Albufeira is absolutely outstanding. Just like all of the best places, there is a central location for the vast majority of the pubs, bars, and clubs.
Your nights out will usually be based around the infamous Monte Choro Strip (The Strip). This amazing place contains all of the best pubs, bars, open-air clubs, and gentlemen's clubs. Whether you are there for two nights or a whole week, you'll never run out of places to visit.
Bar Crawls are hugely popular here. We recommend them as they are great value for money and will show you the best places to go, often including a selection of free shots. It’s the perfect way to start your first night.

Albufeira is easily accessible from Faro Airport, served by over fifteen UK airports. Flights are frequent and cheap. With airport transfers available in our packages, getting to your accommodation is seamless.
Cost-wise, Albufeira is great value. Pints of beer tend to be much cheaper than in the UK (often around €2-€3), and food is incredibly affordable. You don’t need to spend a fortune to have an amazing time.
