Portimão is located in the sunny Algarve region where it started out as a fishing and shipbuilding center. The port city has now grown into a famous tourist destination visited by locals, humble travelers, and aristocrats from the southern part of the country and Andalusia. It has already transformed many of its houses and chalets to be rented out to visitors in the area. However, the influx of people has grown exponentially, and thus, small-town establishments and houses were turned into buildings, hotels, and casinos. People enjoy the pristine beaches and other bodies of water where you can go sailing, skiing, surfing, or simply sunbathing on the sandy shores. If you’re looking for the most ideally located hotels, check out this list of best hotels to stay in Portimão, Portugal.
