Farol Hotel

About the hotel

Set on the dramatic cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Farol Hotel occupies one of Cascais’ most privileged waterfront locations. Just moments from the marina, historic centre, and picturesque beaches, the hotel combines the tranquillity of the coastline with easy access to one of Portugal’s most elegant seaside towns.

Originally the private residence of the Count of Cabral, the property has been transformed into a contemporary luxury hotel while preserving the character of its 19th-century heritage. Today, personalised service, exceptional gastronomy, and an intimate atmosphere define the guest experience, creating a refined retreat by the sea.

The hotel’s identity is shaped by the dialogue between old and new. A restored historic mansion connects seamlessly with bold contemporary architecture, while individually designed rooms, many overlooking the Atlantic, feature clean lines, curated artwork, and interiors created by renowned Portuguese fashion designers.

What distinguishes Farol Hotel is its spectacular oceanfront setting combined with its design-led philosophy. Mediterranean dining at The Mix Restaurant, cocktails overlooking the sea, a saltwater swimming pool carved into the coastline, and curated experiences throughout Cascais allow guests to discover the destination from a uniquely privileged perspective.

Today, Farol Hotel is best suited to couples, design enthusiasts, and travellers seeking an intimate luxury escape on Portugal’s Riviera. Its combination of historic character, contemporary architecture, and uninterrupted Atlantic views makes it one of Cascais’ most distinctive boutique hotels.

Creator experience

Gonçalo Graça

“What stayed with me most was the constant presence of the Atlantic. Whether I was looking out from my room, relaxing by the pool, or enjoying dinner, the ocean was always part of the experience. Combined with the incredible food, the warmth of the team, and Farol’s unique setting beside the iconic lighthouse, it felt like one of those places where the coastline becomes the true luxury.”
