Adult nightlife in the Algarve: Albufeira, Vilamoura, Portimão and Faro
The Algarve has two seasons: winter, when half a dozen houses serve residents, and summer, when Albufeira becomes the stag party capital of the UK and Ireland. This article says where legal adult nightlife is in the region, what it costs and what to avoid.
Albufeira
Oura and the centre hold the strip clubs: Angel's Club Algarve (a gentlemen's club since 2000, with lap dance and burlesque nights), Club Voyeur and Sultão Strip Club. In high season, June to September, entry passes 30 euros with a drink, queues are long and the houses open every day. Off season, half the price and doors shut on Monday and Tuesday.
Vilamoura, Quarteira and Loulé
Korpus has both houses at the same address in Quarteira: a gentlemen's club and the Algarve's only swinger club with a public address. Vilamoura marina is where the stag party boats leave from.
Portimão and Praia da Rocha
Bar Lux Gentlemen Club and Royal Teaser are the western strip clubs, with the same seasonal price pattern.
Faro
Coyote Strip Bar, downtown near the bars, and Fox Gentlemen's Club. Cheaper and with fewer tourists than Albufeira.
Stag and hen parties
Portugal Rocks, Mundial Eventos, SHH Algarve and Algarve Fun organise the day and the night for groups: boat parties, bar crawls, club entries, villas with pools. Each listing on the stag and hen page has contacts.
What to avoid
The ads for "massages" and "escorts" that fill Albufeira's streets in summer: that is procuring, a crime in Portugal, and the tourists who hire them are the easiest targets for theft and extortion. Bars with no licence on display. And driving after drinking: the GNR runs checkpoints every night on the EN 125.
