Tips for finding cheap Algarve holiday deals

To find cheap holidays in the Algarve, Portugal, use the Expedia search wizard to find bargain Algarve hotel room offers that offer massive savings on your stay. You could get away sooner than you think.  

Be spontaneous and get a little flexible with your dates to save a packet on your last-minute Algarve holidays. Book around 6 weeks out and you'll also have a clearer idea about when you're free.  

You could also think about travelling to the Algarve outside of peak season when hotel prices are low but temperatures are still pleasantly high. And if you're looking for cheap airfares to the Algarve, the data tells us that 21 days before your trip is the optimum time to book your cheap holidays to the Algarve. 


The best time to go on holiday in the Algarve

Holiday in the Algarve, Portugal, and you'll enjoy a Mediterranean climate, with dry summers and mild winters. From June to August, the Algarve is sizzling hot. These are the best months for beach holidays peppered with refreshing ocean dips. For activity holidays, such as trekking or mountain-biking, consider a spring or autumn break when the mid-20s temperatures are more conducive to exercise. 

The really great news is that winters are short here, with highs of 15°C between December and February. Visit the Algarve then and you'll also avoid the crowds, making the Algarve the perfect off-season break – you might even be able to find some last-minute Algarve holiday deals. 

Consider booking your Algarve city break or holiday for June or September and you'll dodge the school summer holidays, making your visit cheaper (and less crowded). You'll still catch the best of the summer sun, though. Spring and autumn holidays in the Algarve are even cheaper, and real bargain-hunters might consider a trip in winter, when highs of 15°C and sometimes more are still possible. 


Benefit of booking an all-inclusive Algarve holiday

Expedia has your all-inclusive Algarve holiday nailed. So why make life complicated? We've got Algarve accommodation, flights, and even car rental right here in one seamless package. Pay one up-front fee for your hotel, food and drink, transfers and sometimes even entertainment, and there's nothing further to pay when you get to your Algarve resort – unless you fancy a nice day trip. 

You'll find a variety of accommodation for your holidays and short breaks to the Algarve. Pick from Algarve hotels with five-star ratings, Algarve golf hotels, nature resorts, oceanside hotels, luxury Algarve holidays and more. The Algarve is big on golf, so many hotels are located on spectacular 18-hole courses with sea or mountain views.  

Families will enjoy Algarve all-inclusive resorts for 2024, with everything paid for up-front on Algarve package holidays and often including pools and waterslides that the kids will adore. And couples will love romantic Algarve holidays close both to beaches and nightlife. 


Popular destinations to visit for a holiday in the Algarve

All-inclusive holidays to the Algarve tend to work best for families. Often equipped with pools and kids' clubs and close to sandy beaches, these hotels and resorts are ideal for taking the pressure off parents during Algarve short breaks. Expedia's range of Algarve family holidays and beach holidays are a good place to start. 

Perhaps the best beaches in Portugal's Algarve can be found in the area between Lagos and Vilamoura. But if you like you like your sea like a washing machine on your short break to the Algarve, the west coast will also suit you well. Praia de Falésia is a long, south-coast sandy beach backed by colourful cliffs and skirted by pines for Algarve breaks. And Praia de Marinha, southeast of Lagoa, offers interesting cliffs and calm waters ideal for families.  

On the east coast, head to Tavira, and enjoy spectacular island beaches with wide stretches of sand, safe lagoon paddling, a nudist zone, birdlife, and lots of lovely eateries.
