Just one mile from the centre of the resort, the Auramar Beach Resort Hotel sits in large gardens on a cliff overlooking the sea. Albufeira is the largest resort in the Algarve and a lively place with an old fashioned atmosphere. The old and new areas of Albufeira blend together well, and the labyrinth of the old area compliments the `strip` of the new.
