The Forest

The Forest, also billed as Forest by Nude, is a gay lounge and nightclub on Avenida Sá Carneiro in the Montechoro area of Albufeira, run by the Nude group. It works in two stages: an early-evening lounge and terrace for drinks, then a club with DJs, themed parties and drag shows into the early hours. It sits on the same short strip as the group's other venues, so most nights out here involve moving between them. The crowd is mixed and holiday-heavy. Hours are seasonal and quieter outside summer, so check the venue's social media first.
