Can’t decide where to stay in Lagos? From the best beach stays , to the best hotels and Airbnbs, this guide has you covered.
Nestled on the western point of the Algarve region of Portugal, the small town of Lagos stands out as a gem. From its quaint and vibrant old town to its breathtaking landscapes and beaches, Lagos offers something to do all year-round.
Undoubtedly, Lagos ranks among the top choices for accommodation in the Algarve. Yet, for first-time visitors, navigating through its varied options can pose a challenge. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to the best area to stay in, as it greatly hinges on factors like trip duration, seasonality, and personal preferences.
Ultimately, determining your ideal Lagos base boils down to the nature of your journey: whether it’s a laid-back beach retreat, an exploration-centric stay, or a brief stopover during a road trip (in which case, parking availability becomes a key consideration).
To help you find a great place for your own travel style, I’ve personally curated this selection of the best hotels, resorts and Airbnbs in Lagos. With excellent reviews across the board, perfect locations, and a variety of options for different budgets, all of these would be on our own shortlist for spending a few nights in the town.
Please note that all prices are reflective of a booking made during the summer high season, and travel outside of this window is likely to see prices fall – sometimes quite considerably!

Everyone visits Banff, but just an hour away, there’s also this. 👀
Grassi Lake in Kananaskis might just be one of the most underrated hikes in Alberta.
It’s short, it’s scenic, and the turquoise water? Totally unreal.
💦 Take the interpretive trail for waterfalls and forest views
⛰️ End at a lake so vibrant it looks photoshopped
So if you’re heading to the Rockies this summer, don’t sleep on Kananaskis.
Some of the best views are just off the radar.
💬 Been to Kananaskis or still on your list?
💾 Save this if you’re planning an Alberta trip!
