Apartamentos Turísticos Alagoa Praia (often searched as Hotel Alagoa Praia Norte) sits in the Alagoa Praia Norte urbanisation in Altura. You get air-conditioned studios, T1s, and T2s with kitchenettes and balconies, plus an outdoor pool, garden, petanque, and a casual terrace bar.
The beach is a short walk or bike ride rather than lobby-to-towel, which suits you fine if you’d rather have village shops and cafes on hand than pay beachfront rates. Free parking is handy for day trips to Tavira or across the border into Spain.
Who it suits
Self-catering families who want a pool and an Altura address without resort half-board.
Skip it if you need a spa and a kids club – Ozadi Altura covers that instead.
Worth it?
Yes, for a practical three-star apartment week in Altura. And see where to stay in Castro Marim for how it lines up against nearby Praia da Alagoa hotels.
