What is hotel revenue management consulting in Algarve?
Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Algarve. The Algarve is a British and Irish villa market first. Late July and August school-holiday weeks are the most valuable, golf fills spring and autumn, and long-stay winter guests keep villas earning from November to February. Most villas turn over on a fixed day. I focus on getting the summer weeks right early and building strong golf and winter offers around them.
For Algarve owners I look at how each summer week is priced, how golf and winter long-stay demand is handled and whether AL compliance is in place. The plan usually prices peak weeks individually, builds golf packages for spring and autumn, and creates monthly rates for winter.

Algarve at a glance
Busiest
June to September, with UK school holidays in late July and August the highest, and Easter.

How I price it
My Algarve calendar, and what I do in each period
January to FebruaryLow
Long-stay winter guests are my focus, so I offer monthly rates, keep a steady floor and highlight almond blossom walks and quiet golf courses.
March to MayShoulder
Easter, golf groups and the first sun-seekers bring demand, so I price Easter weeks individually and offer four to seven-night packages near the courses.
June to mid-JulyHigh
Early summer brings couples and families from continental Europe, so I price by week and let rates climb steadily toward the British school holidays.
Late July to AugustPeak
UK and Irish school holidays fill every villa, so I price each week individually, keep fixed changeover days and stop discounting once the week is close.
September to OctoberShoulder
Warm seas and golf season bring couples and golfers, so I keep weekly rates firm in September and offer shorter stays as October progresses.
November to DecemberLow
Winter sun visitors and Christmas families give some demand, so I price Christmas and New Year as premiums and offer monthly rates for long stays.
Where I price differently in Algarve
Lagos and the western Algarve
Cliffs, beaches and a lively old town; I price for families and couples, with a premium on homes near Praia Dona Ana and Ponta da Piedade.
Vilamoura and the Golden Triangle
Golf, marina and luxury villas around Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo; I price for high-end families and golfers, with strong spring and autumn shoulders.
Tavira and the eastern Algarve
A quieter, traditional town near the Ria Formosa; I position it for couples and long-stay winter guests, with monthly rates from November to February.
What I check first in Algarve
Whether each summer week is priced individually, because the gap between early July and the peak of UK school holidays is large and flat rates leave money behind.
How the villa's changeover day matches flights into Faro and the habits of British families, since the wrong day can leave awkward gaps in peak weeks.
Whether the AL registration number is shown on every listing and the tourist tax handled correctly in municipalities that charge it, because compliance must be settled before pushing rates.
