Facing the Atlantic on Praia de Faro, this slick hotel offers unfussy accommodation with direct access to the beach and the protected landscapes of the Ria Formosa Natural Park. Built in a bold modernist style by Gomes da Costa, it features charming retro touches like marble staircases and a classic inglenook fireplace. Faro city is just a 10-minute drive away.
With a cool, contemporary decor, this longtime favorite in the heart of Faro has a sunny rooftop pool and top-floor restaurant with lovely views. Rooms are modern and comfortably furnished; ask for one overlooking the harbor area. The fitness center is fantastic; sprawling, sleek—and busy.
