The Vila Galé Albacora hotel is the result of the refurbishment of the old Ferreira Neto Arraial, where the “people of the sea” linked to the tuna fishing trade lived from March to September.
This hotel in Tavira, in the heart of the Ria, is therefore an architectural testimony to the way of life of the fishermen and their families, when the typical Almadrava - the trap used to catch the tuna - was still used.
In the complex, the houses, workshops and warehouses have given way to 161 rooms, with inspiring views of the estuary. The existing chapel has been preserved and is now prepared for weddings and baptisms, as well as the school, which has been transformed into a club for children. And the old bakery has become a free museum open to the public.
Here you can see a model illustrating the great engineering feat that was the almadrava, as well as centenary documents from the Algarve Fishing Company. There's also a video showing the process of catching tuna.
Breathing the tradition of this region, this hotel in Tavira has also become an eco-hotel, whose sustainable environmental practices have earned it awards and distinctions.
Activities linked to ecotourism and the outdoors, such as birdwatching, boat trips or extreme sports, are a good way to enjoy the full potential of this destination.
With free Wi-Fi, the Vila Galé Albacora hotel has two bars and two restaurants where tuna and Algarvian specialities are a must. To relax, take advantage of the spa with indoor pool, sauna, turkish bath and massage rooms at this hotel in Tavira.
And if you're dreaming of the sandy beaches as far as the eye can see on the island of Tavira, just a few steps away is the pier at the Vila Galé Albacora hotel, where a boat* will take you to paradise in just a few minutes. Don't miss Praia do Barril, accessed by a picturesque tourist train, and boat trips on the tranquil waters of the Ria.
For more cultural moments, the centre of Tavira promises an authentic journey through time, with its traces of Arab influence. Take a look at the Ribeira Market and the Castle.
If you play golf, the challenge lies in the 18-hole greens of Benamor Golf, Quinta de Cima, Quinta da Ria and Monte Rei Golf & Country Club, all close to the Vila Galé Albacora hotel.

It was a surprise to find Tavira one of the best hotels I've visited in my life.
Location my beautiful with a boat that brings you to the beach every hour, the rooms are of good size and clean, the large pool with air-conditioned water or the pool with spa covered.
It ends with a good buffet or card restaurant.
With this money I didn't think I could find all this, it gives almost 5 stars

A few things let this place down. Room is a good size with fridge, balcony and bath, but also broken fittings and plastic mattress protectors that rustle. You have to book the spa (can usually do that for immediate use tho!) and women have to buy a swim cap for the pool (none of this is written down or explained anywhere, despite reception saying they did when I suggested they put this info in the room). Inside pool, 'jazzui' and 'turkish bath' (steam room) are included for guests. Breakfast had plenty of choice but only the fresh orange juice stood out - very average ingredients all round. Much cheaper to stay in Monte Gordo for the same facilities.

LLivinglifeThe hotel is a beautiful one, no doubt about it, but there are a few things that I wasn't happy with.
It is like most things you need to pay for. Needed to iron my clothes, I was told that I needed to pay for the service due to safety issues. Will get my stuff in 48 hours. If I wanted it earlier, I had to pay more. To get to the beach, I was i formed that I need to pay for a ferry to get me across... all this should have been said before a persons book. The hotel is a secluded, nice area. In order to navigate a taxi is a must unless one wants to walk for 30 minutes in the scrotching sun to catch the train or bus. Uber service is better than the taxi you would get from the airport as it is costly.
The food was good, in terms of variety ilI would say no, but it terms of taste yes great. Kudos to the chef. Staff are very helpful and understanding. Some drinks, however, are watered down. I love pina Colada, but wow, i had no clue what I got there.
Apart from that, I had a lovely stay, entertainment, the rooftop, top superb ( was there every evening).
AAnonymous UserNegative points:
The beds were not very comfortable for two people as they are not well bundled.
The showers are also improved, you need to press the button every three seconds to get water and have no tub, so the screw is fixed.
The room was very comfortable and was very comfortable.
Check In quite late.
Insonorization could also be better.
The positive:
Friendly at reception
Breakfast included
Quite good location, only a little complicated sometimes to park but have a garage space option
Shoes and common areas loan
GGuest UserGood location, very calm and relaxing place, with small houses scattered throughout the pine forest. Very good for those traveling with animals. The pool is a little far away for those staying in the furthest houses. Cleaning is very basic and the staff were not very friendly.
