The man, whose name has not yet been released, was found by friends at the popular resort of Albufeira where they were staying. It is understood he had been out socialising the night before he was discovered.
He was staying at the Alto do Moinho apartments in the holiday resort.
An autopsy is due to take place in nearby Faro.
