Set to open its doors in December 2026, The Ashana promises to be a game-changer in Faro’s hospitality scene.
This boutique hotel, housed in a meticulously restored 16th-century building, is the brainchild of Terra International – a family-owned company with a decade of experience in the Algarve. Their vision is to create an “urban oasis” that celebrates Faro’s rich history while offering modern luxury.
The Ashana will feature 29 individually designed rooms, each blending historical elegance with contemporary comfort. Expect vibrant colours, intricate details, and premium materials that reflect the building’s heritage. The rooms will be equipped with super king-size beds, smart TVs, free minibars, Nespresso machines, and luxury bathroom amenities. While the hotel isn’t open yet, its ambitious plans for personalized service—such as dedicated hosts for each room—hint at an exceptional guest experience.
The architecture of The Ashana is a tribute to Faro’s Moorish and Portuguese heritage, combined with modern design elements. The rooftop pool and bar are set to be standout features, offering panoramic views of the Algarve and the distant ocean. The hotel will also include a holistic gym, meeting room facilities, and an Oasis Garden—a lush inner courtyard designed for tranquillity.
Dining at The Ashana is still under wraps, but the hotel plans to offer both indoor and al fresco options. While we can’t yet vouch for the restaurant’s quality, the emphasis on blending local and international flavours suggests a promising culinary experience.
Located in Faro’s historic district, The Ashana is perfectly positioned for exploration. Guests will be just steps away from Faro Marina, the Old Town, and the Ria Formosa Natural Park. Whether you’re strolling through cobbled streets, visiting historical landmarks, or taking a boat ride to the Farol Islands, Faro offers a wealth of activities.
Why consider The Ashana for your next trip? It’s not just a hotel—it’s a vision of boutique luxury that combines history, design, and personalized service. While we await its grand opening, the anticipation surrounding The Ashana suggests it will be a must-visit destination for discerning travellers. Keep an eye on this space—it might just redefine hospitality in the Algarve.
