The Forest

The Forest (also styled Forest by Nude) is an LGBTQ+ evening lounge and nightclub on Avenida Sá Carneiro in the Areias de São João / Montechoro area, the newest venue from Albufeira's Nude Group. It works in two halves: an early-evening lounge and terrace for relaxed drinks, followed by a nightclub with DJs, themed parties and drag shows running into the early morning. Together with Connection Bar and the cruising bar Dark by Nude it makes up the compact Sá Carneiro gay strip, and it keeps the mixed, party-minded spirit of the resort. Hours are seasonal, so check the venue's Facebook page before heading out.
