Home description
A beautiful ground floor apartment which directly overlooks the magnificent main pool and recreation area of the Orada Apartments situated at the new Albufeira Marina. Our apartment is the largest one bedroom unit on the resort and more spacious than several of the two bedroom units. The enclosed end position and shrub bordering makes the terrace very private yet you are only a few steps from the main pool area and the kids can be easily supervised from the terrace. Click on the Photo Gallery button below or see our own web site at AlgargeBliss.com for more photos and details.
Orada Apartments are repeatedly rated 5 stars by previous guests on Tripadvisor.com so whether you choose to relax and sunbathe in the beautiful landscaped garden areas, chill out in the pool or stroll down to the Marina to Wine & Dine, this is a location that is hard to beat for a memorable holiday. The quaint Old Town of Albufeira and the friendly street life and market stalls is approximately a 15 minute walk away.

The Algarve / Central Algarve region
The Algarve is the Portuguese equivalent to the American Florida or southern California. The sun and sea dominate the atmosphere of the Algarve, bestowing on it the ideal qualities of a holiday paradise and making it the "Garden of Portugal". The area has over one hundred miles of the finest beaches in Europe and enjoys around three hundred days of sunshine a year. The region is dotted with Moorish villages with white washed houses and seafood in abundance.
One such resort is the town of Albufeira which is arguably the most popular Algarve destination for holiday makers. This is because of its established infrastructure and tourist attractions. Many tourist attractions like Zoomarine (the only place in Europe where you can swim with Dolphins), Slide & Splash Water Park, Aquashow Family Park, Jeep Safari's, Sea Cruises and water sports too numerous to mention have sprung up and are easily accessible from Albufeira.
Every town of any size has a permanent covered market, which opens every day except Sunday from 8am until around 1pm. There are usually separate areas for wet fish and for fruit and vegetables and some have butcher’s shops around the perimeter of the market hall. Larger markets also have stalls selling home-baked breads, cheeses, etc. Markets attract gypsies and peasant farmers who set up ad hoc stalls in the nearby streets and sell absolutely anything. Albufeira has a large market not far from Lidl and only a few miles from the Marina complex.
Albufeira / Albufeira Marina area
Orada is a purpose built tourism and leisure complex which has been created in line with the highest standards and specifically designed to be enjoyed year-round. Restaurants on the adjacent Albufeira Marina include Italian, Traditional Portuguese, Fish, Seafood and Sushi providing relaxing and romantic dining. Orada reception has it's own snack bar, reading room, games room, internet access and toilet facilities for guest use.
Activities like Daily Cruises, Cave Exploration, Diving, Parasailing, Jet Skis, B.B.Q and Sunset Cruises, Big Game and Reel Fishing can be booked on the Marina. Or why not get picked up for a tour and tasting at the vineyard where Sir Cliff Richard produces his Vida Nova wine which is only a 10 minute drive or short taxi ride from Orada.
The complex is serviced by the Giro bus link leaving every 30 minutes from a stop just 50 metres from the reception area. 2007 saw the introduction of a tourist train which runs every 30 minutes from the marina to the Old Town. Other transfers can be arranged at reception to locations like Algarve Shopping for around €5.
Just 30 minutes from Faro airport and a stone’s throw from the charming old centre of Albufeira, is located one of the most attractive and bold architectural developments built in Portugal in recent times. The daring architecture of Tomás Taveira, the inspired urban planning of Sidónio Pardal and the gracious landscaping designed by Broadway Malyan, come together as a daring, though perfectly harmonious, whole to create an extraordinary milestone for European architecture and design.
Idyllically located on a coastal plain surrounded by low hills, this low residential density development is set in 65 hectares of land. Over half of this area is covered by landscaped gardens and paved pedestrian paths sheltered by many lines of trees; another 20% of the area is occupied by the lake and the Marina’s wharf. Overall, less than a third of the total development area is taken up by buildings, streets and parking spaces.

Guestbook for Albufeira Marina "Orada" 4Star
16/08/07 – Emma & Cathy “Fantastic apartment, everything you cold possibly want and more. Complex beautiful, pool also fantastic. Short taxi ride to everywhere which was great. Will be back.”
30/08/07 – Yvonne, Bridge, Jas & Creena “What a wonderful apartment – a real home from home – you have thought of everything. Love your choice of artwork and your sense of style! The terrace is ever so private and the pool areas are out of this world. Enjoyed the cosmopolitan feel of the marina. The Old Town was very busy, but it is August and so we expected it. Very quaint though. The restaurant on the costal path, “Castelo de Bispo” is excellent, a little pricey but wonderful for a treat on our last night!. All in all, we loved everything about this holiday – it really has been “Algarvebliss!” – Thank you.”
28/10/07 – Alan, Bev & Mia “The apartment was the best we have ever stayed in, Mia loved the pool. The weather was beautiful, marina was a bit quiet but the Old Town made up for it. We all enjoyed the food and the Portuguese are very nice and friendly. We hope to return at some time next year because the temperature suited us all”
August 08 - Kirk, Amanda, Hannah & Grace “Thanks for a great holiday. The apartment was great! and had everything we needed. We loved the Italian restaurant at the marina, Zoomarine was a great day out and the girls loved the dolphins. We went on a fast boat ride and Parasailing. This apt is in a great location and we hope to return sometime soon. Thanks”
August 08 - Elaine, Ike, Cameron (7) & Joshua (5) “The apartment lived up to the description on the internet and more. Nice and modern and clean with all the facilities we needed including ice box and sun shade for the beach!. The entertainment system with the wide range of films on demand was great. Loved the location - just out of the hustle + bustle of town but easy to get to.”
September 08 - Aideen + Ian (Ireland & Birmingham) “Thanks, we had a wonderful holiday, the apartment lived up to all our expectations & more. The cooler box came in very hand for the beach. Would recommend this apartment to all or friends. We hope to come back for a holiday next year. Thanks again, Aideen & Ian”
September 08 - Linda, Brian & Nicola (Manchester) “The apartment was everything we expected and more. Lovely decor, great extras (entertainment system) & comfy beds. Loved the complex and ideally situated if you don't want to be in the hustle bustle of the old own. The complex is relaxing as is the marina but we also loved the Old Town. We would definitely come again. Thanks”
