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!

Found cheap flights to Calgary, booked a long weekend, and ended up at the stay with the most incredible view I’ve ever had, and I’ve stayed in a lot of places, so that actually means something. 🏔️
I stayed in one of the new Skyglass at Skyridge Glamping in Kananaskis.
Floor-to-ceiling windows all around, mountains reflecting right outside, coffee on the deck in the morning with that view. I genuinely didn’t want to move.
If you’re in Ontario and you’ve been sleeping on cheap flights to Calgary, this is your sign. Kananaskis is only about an hour from the airport and it is so worth the trip.
Save this for your next long weekend. 🍂

We all speed through the 401 trying to get somewhere… meanwhile we’re missing all of this 👀
All of these stops are 20 minutes or less from the highway (between Toronto & Kingston), so you don’t have to go completely out of your way to make your road trip feel a lot more fun ✨
Some of these are quick, easy stops you can do in under an hour…
others are more “okay wait, let’s turn this into a full day trip” kind of spots
…but every single one is 100% worth getting off the 401 for 🚗
From alpaca farms and spa days to lookouts and cute small towns, this stretch is way less boring than people think
Save this for your next road trip (future you will be very happy you did)
And tell me… do you want me to do more of these for other sections of the 401? 👀👇

I’ve lived in Kingston for 10 years and I still find new reasons to love it every season, but spring might be my favourite time to be here.
The limestone buildings, the waterfront, the little cafés that finally open their windows again. It just hits different. ☀️
If you’re thinking about visiting this spring or summer, watch this reel. I planned the whole day for you so you don’t have to figure it out yourself.
Save it for your next trip.
