Book a hotel in Lagos

Planning your stay in Lagos is key to soaking up its sunny Algarve charm, whether you're dreaming of a cliff-top view or a spot near the bustling Praça Gil Eanes. To help you find your perfect base, eDreams has rounded up everything you need to know about hotels and accommodation in this popular Portuguese city.

Discover Lagos, a captivating town on Portugal’s Algarve coast, renowned for its dramatic golden cliffs, sun-drenched beaches, and a rich maritime history. This former fishing village now blends traditional Portuguese charm with a lively atmosphere, making it a favourite for many.

You can explore a maze of cobbled streets in the old town, leading to historic churches like Igreja de Santo António and the remnants of its ancient city walls. The Ponta da Piedade headland, with its striking rock formations and sea caves, offers breathtaking boat tours, while nearby beaches such as Praia Dona Ana and Praia do Camilo provide perfect spots for relaxation and water activities. Whether you are looking for an action-packed holiday or a tranquil escape, accommodation options in Lagos cater to all preferences, from boutique guesthouses to modern apartments, ensuring a comfortable stay.

Lagos offers a range of excellent hotel options, with the Old Town often being the most popular choice for visitors. Its central location puts you within walking distance of many attractions, making it a convenient base for exploring.

For a bustling experience, consider staying in the Old Town itself. This historic area is perfect if you want to be close to cultural sites and lively atmosphere. Here, you'll find a mix of guesthouses and boutique hotels. Wander through the cobbled streets to discover landmarks like the Church of Santo António and the Mercado de Escravos (Slave Market Museum), a significant historical site.

South of the Old Town, areas like Meia Praia offer different accommodation types, primarily larger hotels and resorts, often with direct beach access. This area is ideal for those seeking a relaxing beach holiday. Further west, beyond the town centre, the area around Ponta da Piedade features upscale villas and hotels with dramatic cliffside views. This spot is renowned for its sea caves and grottoes, accessible by boat trips.

When choosing your hotel, consider transport links. Lagos is served by its local bus network, A ONDA, making it easy to get around town. The Lagos train station provides connections to other parts of the Algarve. If you're flying in, the nearest international airport is Faro Airport (FAO), approximately 55 miles east. You can reach Lagos from Faro Airport by regional train or bus, which are convenient options to consider when planning your journey to your chosen accommodation.

To make your hotel stay in Lagos more affordable, consider visiting outside the peak summer months of July and August. You will often find better deals in late spring (May and June) or early autumn (September and October) when the weather is still pleasant for exploring the renowned Ponta da Piedade rock formations and their hidden grottoes, a unique Lagos attraction. Booking your accommodation several months in advance, especially if your travel dates are flexible, can also secure lower rates. Look for hotels slightly further from the main marina and Old Town, as these often offer more competitive prices without being too far from the action.

Another way to save is by choosing self-catering apartments or guesthouses. These options can reduce costs, especially for longer stays, and allow you to prepare some meals, saving on restaurant expenses. We offer a wide range of accommodation types to suit every budget, ensuring you find the perfect stay. Book your next hotel in Lagos with eDreams today.
