The nearest airport is Faro being a 25 minute drive away where low cost airlines like, Easy Jet, British Airways, BMI, Thompson, Ryan air and Aer Lingus have regular year round flights from the UK available. All can be booked on line and Lisbon is only a 2.5 hour drive away. We can arrange airport transfers for you where the driver meets you in arrivals at the airport holding a name board, but this service is paid separately and directly to the driver. Or you can hire car to be at the airport for when you land. Although a car is not essential, but I would recommend it to see the sights and places of interest around the area of Albufeira.Driving directions Driving on the A22 and from Faro to Albufeira, you get out on Albufeira and on the 125 road left on the first Guia roundabout towards Galé Beach, straight on, on next roundabout and left 300 meters ahead.
