Palácio de Tavira: New Boutique Hotel Opening in Algarve 2025

If you're dreaming of a serene escape that blends Portuguese heritage, Moorish charm, and refined luxury, Palácio de Tavira may be your next destination. Opening in Summer 2025, this boutique hotel in Tavira, Portugal, is more than a place to stay—it's a celebration of culture, comfort, and timeless beauty.

Located just 30 minutes from Faro and a short drive from Spain, Palácio de Tavira occupies a restored 19th-century residence once home to the noble Tavares family. The hotel honors its aristocratic roots with a gracefully preserved façade, while a medina-inspired extension nods to the town’s rich Moorish past.

Wander through labyrinthine alleys and quiet courtyards that recreate the ambiance of ancient Tavira—where the line between past and present feels wonderfully blurred.

With only 36 rooms, Palácio de Tavira offers guests an intimate and deeply personal experience. Interiors reflect the natural tones of the Algarve, combining limestone whites, soft beiges, and locally sourced wood and stone. Each room is a serene sanctuary, whether in the historic palazzo or the modern medina wing.

Here, sleep isn’t just restorative—it’s ritual.

A Boutique Stay in the Heart of Tavira
