Imagine having all your friends and family under one roof in a gorgeous Algarve villa, with your own pool, for the ultimate hen do in Albufeira.
Spend your days lounging around the pool, on the beach or at a swanky beach resort, or having fun on one of the Algarve’s many exciting excursions and attractions, before letting your hair down and dancing the night away in Albufeira’s rainbow of renowned bars and nightclubs.
Or maybe even enjoy a tranquil night in with a spot of private catering. Perhaps even your own butler! Whatever you want for your Hen Do, be it as raucous or refined as you desire, it can all be arranged in Albufeira.
Just 20 minutes from Faro airport, Albufeira is famed for its stunning golden beaches and neon nightlife. A villa in the city, close to the action but affording the privacy and home comforts that a hotel often lacks, is the perfect place for a hen party in the Algarve, and plenty of private villas nowadays accommodate large groups. So passports ready! Have a look at some of Albufeira’s best villas for Hen Parties.
Villa Santa
Located right next to Santa Eulalia beach, close to the white hot action in Albufeira but far enough out to be peaceful and private, Villa Santa is just a 10-minute walk to the beach and a little longer to the city’s famous bar strip. This spacious, rather grand looking villa has six good size bedrooms with comfortable beds and all mod cons, a private pool and great BBQ facilities. Very popular with hen parties as well as private groups for its location, a taxi trip into central Albufeira costs around €5.
Villa Sereia
Another top choice geared towards hen parties is Villa Sereia, a 10-minute drive from Albufeira Old Town. This beautiful, large villa is a wonderful option for groups of girls who just wanna have fun.

Villa Pinecliffs
This pretty as a picture, traditional Algarve villa has an air of refinement about it.

With 6 spacious bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, there’ll be no arguing over the facilities. Central Albufeira is just a short drive or cheap taxi ride away, but its location on the outskirts of Albufeira means it is far enough out to dip into the resort’s raucousness before retreating to peace and tranquillity. A two-bedroom apartment available right next door to the villa takes the number of guests who can be accommodated up to 20. Surrounded by a large garden with pool and bbq area, this villa also has its own bar area and pool table.
Villa Tigonema
Located in the popular Oura neighbourhood, Villa Tigonema is just a few hundred metres walk from the strip.

Comprising a detached villa with three bedrooms, plus a self-contained 3 bedroom annex, Villa Tigonema was fully refurbished ready for the 2017 summer season. Sleeping a total of up to 16 people, the two properties can be rented individually for smaller groups, off-season.

Casa Caseiro
