Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Eastern Algarve

We’ve just spent a week at the apartment in Praia de Rochas and found it a very comfortable, clean and tastefully furnished space. There are plenty of bars and good restaurants on the door step, plus a decent supermarket around the corner. If you turn left out of the block there is a vast beach with boardwalks to Portimão where you can take a boat trip to caves, which I would recommend. If you turn right out of the block there is a cliff top walk with various beautiful bays which can be accessed by steps. There’s a bustling nightlife at weekends but quieter during the week. Would recommend for a couple or friends. Etelvina was very responsive and she has furnished the apartment beautifully. Thanks.

Emily's place was very clean, it was very big and spatious. Emily was an excellent host. She gave us a guide on places to visit/eat. Her place has all the amenities we needed. The place also has a big pool nearby that we could use!

We loved our stay, absolutely stunning views and property - spotlessly clean throughout. The hosts were extremely responsive and very helpful from day one. We’d rate the place above 5 stars if we could and we cannot wait to return. Many thanks for making this trip so special!

We loved our stay at this condo. The unit is beautiful, very clean and was spacious for the 5 of us. Short walk to get into the old town. The host was very responsive to our needs. Highly recommend

The apartment was exactly as pictured—modern, clean, and comfortable with beautiful views. The location was walkable, which made exploring the area easy and enjoyable. We appreciated the responsiveness of the host and the thoughtful welcome gift—it was a lovely touch! The recommendations provided were appreciated. That said, there were a couple of things that could be improved. Directions to the apartment were a bit tricky to follow, and the 6 PM check-in time felt quite late compared to my experiences over 8 years of staying in Airbnbs around the world. We were surprised to find that some necessities weren’t provided. For a 3-night stay with 4 guests, only 4 coffee pods and a few mismatched tea bags were available, which seemed more like leftovers than intentional provisions. There were also no paper towels or basic cooking staples (beyond salt and pepper). Overall, we had a pleasant stay, but a few small improvements could make the experience even better.

Had an amazing stay at Maruja Airbnb! The space was exactly as described clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The host was super helpfull. The location was perfect quiet but close to everything we wanted to see. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Patricia's apartment is perfect for a quiet stay on Isla Canela. It is tastefully decorated and perfectly equipped, down to the last detail, and everything is completely new and of high quality. The views from the whole house are amazing. We weren't very lucky with the weather, but just being in the living room and enjoying the ocean view was worth it. Patricia was attentive at all times to anything we needed. This will certainly be our apartment of reference for our visits to Isla Canela.

A nice, clean apartment with nice seaview! We loved it! The kitchen is very spacious . Everything is very new.

Spent a week at vanessa’s apartment. We absolutely loved it! It was so spacious and clean and literally had everything you could need. Vanessa checked us in and showed us around, she was so friendly and helpful with lots of recommendations. It was about a 20 min walk and less than a 5 minute uber from the old town. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend😃

Paulo is a fantastic host, our very first Air bnb ! We would definitely recommend as it was just the perfect holiday for us! Lots of walks and beaches are beautiful, all within a few minutes walk. A great small supermarket with Coffee bar again just a few minutes walk. Brilliant , loved it!

Throughly enjoyed our 10 day stay in Colette’s spacious apartment. It was clean, well equipment and comfortable. Alto club had fantastic facilities and grounds are well kept. Colette is a great host, very helpful and informative. 100% recommend and I would love to return in the future. Ciara.

The home was exactly like the picture. Lots of space for our needs. Fit 7 people easy. Easy to get to restaurants with uber or a car. Host was great to meet us and explain the area.

Ines met us personally as we arrived and brought us to the apartment. It was spotless clean and exactly as it appeared online. There was plenty of linen and towels. The apartment is really well equipped with kitchen utensils, and everything you'd need for a long stay, including numerous television stations and wifi. The location was very convenient to facilities like a supermarket, hairdressers and beauty parlour which were very close. There is a beautiful beach within 10 mins walk from the apartment which has a lovely beach bar. There are numerous swimming pools at the Balaia club and all are really well maintained and clean, as is the rest of the resort. It was a very relaxing stay.

We had a great 10-day stay in Albufeira! The very clean apartment on the 13th floor offers a great view and is easily accessible by elevator. The pool area and small gym were a real plus. The Sparmarkt can be reached in 2–4 minutes, Aldi is about 5–10 minutes' walk. We were particularly enthusiastic about the beach near the old town – our absolute favorite! We went there quite relaxed with the tourist train or ordered a taxi via the Bolt app (2-6 euros). We felt very comfortable and would come back any time. Clear recommendation!

Miguel and Liv are fantastic hosts. They were extremely helpful with regards to any questions and providing a baby cot/high chair. We were really happy with the apartment, it was beautiful with some amazing views! We'd definitely recommend Miguel and Liv's place to any family and friends in the future. Thanks a lot guys!

This stay was amazing, would 100% recommend. Will hopefully be returning next year! Don’t miss out and book this amazing apartment!

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Quinta Bela Vida with our extended family. The villa was even more beautiful and spacious than the photos showed. The area was quiet and peaceful and we felt like we had our own private resort in the heart of a Portuguese Village! We had Chef Oliver prepare us a meal on our first night and it was incredible! Such a special place !

Nice and clean apartment. Somewhat outside the city center, but at walkable distance (20 min.). Free, safe parking on site. Nice pool and terrace area. Aldi shop one minute away (walking). Very easy communication with Priscilla.

An excellent beach stay, full of great amenities, nice quality appliances and linens, flexible bed combinations for families, fabulously located to beautiful beaches and a communicative and generous host. Highly recommended. Thank you.

André was very helpful throughout our stay and pre arrival. With flexibility in checking in due to our early flight and the welcoming pack in the fridge it was a truly great experience here. I would happily recommend the property to anyone looking for a stay in villamoura.

Me and my mates had a fantastic stay here for my best mates stag do. The place itself was so nice and spacious with plenty of bathrooms and the location was great for the old and new town. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone!

Awesome place to both recharge and meet good people. Beautiful nature and beach nearby. Cats and dogs are the best company :) Sara was very involved, always friendly and helpful and organizing trips or gatherings. Lovely environment, great for a recharge!

The villa was beautiful and clean. It had many amenities, everything listed in the description can be found in the villa, great for our large family. Outdoor space was amazing. The villa was in a good area, close to supermarkets bars and restaurants. The host was so welcoming and friendly, easy communication. We had absolutely no problems here and we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely villa based in a secure, picturesque and peaceful location. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The villa was immaculate and well stocked with what you might need during your stay. The restaurants were all within walking distance and a good selection of great food. Our favourite by far and which we’d highly recommend for exceptional food, service and friendly, welcoming atmosphere is O Marinheiro!! The local beach was beautiful too and easy to walk to. Definitely want to come back next year!!
