Recognised for its natural beauty and diverse programming, the region offers unforgettable experiences for those who want a memorable New Year's Eve.

The main promoters of the end of year festivities are the 16 municipalities in the Algarve, with the main attraction being New Year's Eve in Albufeira, which last year brought together around 350,000 people. The iconic Praia dos Pescadores will be the stage for Albufeira Carpe Nox 2025, with shows by Dino D`Santiago, on December 30th, and Xutos & Pontapés, on the night of December 31st. The countdown to the New Year will be marked by a laser show, drones and aquatic pyrotechnics, which will culminate in an all-night party to the sounds of DJ Diego Miranda.

“The Algarve is increasingly a natural choice for those looking for a special place to celebrate the New Year. The combination of tranquillity, through nature and unique hospitality, and entertainment, with the countless organised events, makes the region the ideal destination for all tastes. We want to provide unique moments for both our visitors and our local community,” says André Gomes, President of Turismo do Algarve.
