The Shipyard Angra AZORES, PORTUGAL


Set in the heart of Angra do Heroísmo, a Unesco World Heritage city filled with maritime culture and raw Atlantic beauty, The Shipyard Angra offers a contemporary retreat inspired by centuries of shipbuilding traditions. Built on the grounds of a former shipyard, the property echoes the clean lines and sturdy geometry of naval architecture. Its prime location places guests steps from Angra’s marina, Prainha beach and the historical centre, where renaissance-era fortifications tell the story of Portugal’s Age of Discoveries. The property features 29 spacious apartments,


each designed with independence and flexibility in mind. Studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units have private terraces, fully equipped kitchenettes and living and dining areas. Built- in Bluetooth systems, USB ports and thoughtful amenities ensure comfort for both long and short stays, while the building’s industrial- naval aesthetic pays tribute to the island’s deep connection to the sea. The lobby installation, created by local artisan Renato Costa e Silva, mirrors the suspended wooden ribs of traditional


whaling boats once built on the shores, a symbolic reminder of Angra’s maritime resilience. Travellers will find a full range of on-site


facilities, including a 24-hour reception, rooftop terrace, gym and complimentary bikes, as well as versatile event spaces to accommodate celebrations and corporate gatherings. The hotel is within easy reach of Monte Brasil and Angra’s coastal trails, offering access to nature. The short walk to the São João Baptista Fortress, one of the largest sea fortifications in the world, rewards visitors with sweeping harbour views. A meal at A Oficina, the hotel’s signature


restaurant and bar, is a highlight of any stay. The menu blends contemporary comfort cuisine with the flavours and traditions of the Azores. Locally sourced ingredients showcase the island’s rich agriculture and fishing culture. Beyond the hotel, Terceira Island offers a wide


range of unforgettable experiences including whale-watching excursions, hikes around dormant volcanoes, diving in crystalline coves and exploring local craft ateliers.
