The Algarve is among the most popular destinations for Portugal holidays. This wonderful area offers something for everyone, from lively bars to spectacular scenery. Your choice of resorts here is wide, with Albufeira a perennial favourite thanks to its great nightlife along the coastal strip and the excellent marina where you can hire boats for dolphin-viewing or diving. There are some lovely apartments here, many just a stone's throw from the beach, making Albufeira a superb option for sun holidays where you can take advantage of the weather to do more than just lazing on the beach.

For another side to the Algarve try Alvor, a historic fishing village with quiet lanes and superb seafood restaurants. Another resort with both charm and buzz is Lagos, with a characterful centre and plenty to do after dark. This varied range of attractions, plus the choice of low cost holidays, makes it a great option for a family holiday in Portugal. Yet another excellent Algarve town for cheap holidays in Portugal is Vilamoura, a modern resort with many self catering villas and facilities ranging from golf courses to sports clubs. Or try Praia da Rocha, the party animal's favourite with heaps of clubs but also exceptional beaches. 

Looking for another idea? Try the Lisbon Coast, a wonderfully convenient stretch close to the country's capital that boasts both fine weather and fine beaches! Cascais is among the most popular Portugal holiday destinations from Ireland; as one of the classiest suburbs of Lisbon, it offers the chance for a true luxury holiday without breaking the bank. It's a fabulous place to go shopping, with everything from designer clothing to jewellery available in its boutiques. Estoril is another place that's always up with the latest trends – and it's particularly good if you like to explore the local cuisine.

Many people taking cheap holidays to Portugal from Dublin choose the island of Madeira, off the coast of western Africa, which offers a slice of subtropical paradise without leaving Europe.

This is an alluring place on Madeira's south coast, with sunshine levels that rival anywhere in Europe and an Old Town that could have been made for exploring. The promenade to the west of town is where you'll find some of the most impressive hotels – check for all-inclusive offers!
