Avenida Tomás Cabreira, Praia da Rocha

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

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.
Bar Capicua, Portimão

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!
Discoteca Ubi and Bar Bubi, Tavira

Clubbers who pile out of Discoteca Ubi at 6am on a Sunday morning swear it’s the best time they’ve had in their lives. It’s not just the heavy house and trip-hop that packs them in. Ubi also stages some great theme nights, including wild foam parties.
Gecko Club, Vale do Lobo

With an Antoni Gaudí-style interior, this is a truly inspired late-night option.
Hotel Algarve Casino, Praia da Rocha

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.
Kadoc, Vilamoura

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.
Kadoc, Vilamoura

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.
Katedral, Praia da Rocha

Popular late-night dance venue and a hit with both young business professionals and tuned-in youth. The music reflects whatever’s current, but with the base level way off the dial. See Clubs and Late-Night Bars.
Katedral, Praia da Rocha

Bright red neon announces this temple of sound, dedicated to playing whatever’s current. Its three bars flank a central dance floor that’s never big enough to accommodate the throngs of party people. A sprawling terrace bar at the back affords great views of the beach and is an ideal chill-out spot, fanned by sea breezes.
