One of the first tourist resorts in the Algarve, with a long esplanade crammed with glitzy bars and trendy nightclubs.

A popular lunchtime haunt, Amuras buzzes at night with a mix of smooth soul and sexy jazz funk on the modest dance floor. Live music every Friday night usually comes with a Latin twist.

While neigbouring Praia da Rocha remains one of the Algarve’s hottest nightclub districts, the town’s nearby marina boasts some wonderful new bars including this one. The first-floor terrace is perfect on those balmy summer evenings when you’d rather chat quietly over a drink than join the throng on the dance floor where the music matches the mood – hot!

With an Antoni Gaudí-style interior, this is a truly inspired late-night option.

The first hotel-casino in Portugal is situated in a prime position. There’s a fabulous slot machines room with 322 of the latest game stations.

The biggest club in the Algarve draws thousands of revellers to its wild summer parties. Guests bump and grind on five tiered dance floors under a blaze of multicoloured light. See Clubs and Late-Night Bars.

A sprawling venue of gargantuan proportions, the nightclub can accommodate up to 7,000 party-goers on five dance floors illuminated by a spectacular tricolour laser system. The clientele is young and energetic. A landscaped open-air terrace set in a tropical garden offers a great spot for those chill-out sessions. It’s always the last club to wind down, closing around 7am.
