Long stays
Spending the winter in the Algarve
Why more and more people choose Albufeira for long stays between October and May.
Praia das Conchas · October 2026
Between October and May, the Algarve slows down. The beaches are quiet, the restaurants belong to the locals again and the days are often still full of sunshine. It is the perfect time for a long stay.
Why the Algarve in winter
- Mild winters and plenty of sunny days
- Almost empty beaches, perfect for walking
- Golf, cycling and hiking in pleasant temperatures
- A calmer cost of living than in high season
