The alarm was raised just before 7am on Wednesday, Correo da Manha reports.
An autopsy has already taken place but results have not been made public.
It’s understood Portuguese cops are not treating the death as suspicious.
Police have not said whether the Brit was staying at a hotel in Albufeira.
It comes after the body of a Scottish tourist who had been missing for seven days after vanishing on a night out in Albufeira was found.
Greg Monks, 38, from Glasgow, had gone out drinking after flying to the resort hours earlier with friends for a stag do.
He is thought to have jumped over a wall and fallen down a steep cliff after becoming disorientated as he tried to head back to his holiday hotel.
The plant mechanic was found by police at the bottom of a ravine on Wednesday.
Sister Jillian Monks, 36, told the Daily Record: “We are truly heartbroken. Everyone who knows Greg knows how much he will be missed and what an amazing guy he was.”
Greg’s sisters revealed the “alarm bells” moments after he vanished from the party hotspot.
Albufeira has increasingly shifted from a family-focused resort to a party town.
Brit tourists have been warned of plans to bring in fines of up to £1,250 if they are caught walking along the street in bikinis or swim shorts.
And Albufeira’s mayor Jose Carlos Polo said he wants to tackle street drinking and the problem of holidaymakers urinating in public by introducing new penalty fees.
