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!

What happens when two people who have never skied in their lives decide to learn at Calabogie Peaks Resort? A lot of laughter, a few wobbly moments, and an unforgettable first time on the slopes! 🎿❄️
Neither Emily nor I had ever been on skis before, but we figured why not make Calabogie Peaks the place for our first attempt? So we booked a beginner ski lesson, strapped in, and nervously made our way to the bunny hill. Thankfully, our instructor, Bruce, was an absolute legend—patient, encouraging, and somehow managed to keep us upright most of the time. 😂
Did we fly down the hill? No. Did we have an absolute blast? 100%. And we both agreed—we’re coming back next winter to give it another go!
But here’s the thing—Calabogie Peaks Resort is more than just skiing. If you stay at the hotel, you get complimentary snowshoe rentals and can even take the ski lift up for a snowshoe hike down the Ole K&P Trail—which, honestly, is the perfect way to enjoy the views without face-planting in the snow. ❄️
And after all of that? Do yourself a favor and head to Black Donald’s Bar for a well-earned drink. Their spicy Caesar? 10/10, highly recommend. 🍹🔥
Would you ever take a ski lesson as an adult? Or are you already carving up the slopes? Drop a 🏔️ in the comments if you’d try this! ⬇️❄️
