  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
