And when we say close, we mean close. The Monica Isabel Beach Club hotel is right next to the beach. So if you fancy a change from lounging by the pool, a day by the beach isn't far away. And if you fancy even more of a change of scenery, the main town of Albufeira is just a short walk along the beach.
With children's pool, indoor pool for winter months, a kid's club in the summer and a playground with slides and swings, keeping the kids occupied on holiday will be easy.
If you're planning a holiday in 2025/2026with the family but you're on a budget, the Monica Isabel Beach Club Hotel is definitely worth considering. With the pool being located right next to the beach and a short walk from the main area in Albufeira, the location is ideal. A free shuttle service into town is also available from the hotel.
Book yourself a studio or 1 bedroom apartment and enjoy a holiday in one of the most popular areas of the Algarve. Three pools are available including a children's pool and an indoor pool (for the cooler months of the year), plus there's a kid's club in the summer to help keep them entertained.
