Welcome to The Palace: a labour of love
A 16th-century dream meets 21st-century vision. Rising above a bustling working port on the glittering Eo estuary, Palacio de Figueras is a majestic historical palace topped with a buff central tower and flanked by two dreamy crenellated wings. Set in scenic Asturias, northern Spain, the palace is available for exclusive use for groups of families and friends to book the entire property for events, weddings and special occasions.
After a meticulous eleven year restoration, stepping inside transports you to the splendour of another era, seamlessly fused with every modern convenience you can imagine. Enjoy eleven spoiling en suite bedrooms, two lounges, library, TV room, games room, bar, and leafy orangery with sea views. With smart professional kitchens you have the option to choose breakfast, half or full board menus that cater for everyone in your party.
Outside, a fragrant set of garden terraces flow down to the shore, a private heated outdoor pool and pool house await and the green beauty of Asturias unfurls all around.
History is only the beginning. Standing proud on the hill above the boat-bobbing Eo estuary, Palacio de Figueras is a breathtaking sight to behold. You are treated to eleven elegant bedrooms including two sublime suites, comfortable and spacious shared areas, high-end kitchens and modern bathrooms, all available to your group on an exclusive basis. Surrounded by lush, landscaped gardens, the palace is a unique location for exclusive weddings, special events and unforgettable holidays. Following a dedicated restoration that paid homage to the past and breathed new life into this remarkable property, it has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in recognition of its architectural significance.
The painstaking 11-year restoration of Palacio de Figueras was undertaken with a deep respect for the building’s original structure and materials, as well as its status as an historic building. To honour the building we worked with craftspeople with rare skills, and the ability to recreate the beauty of the past whilst incorporating the best modern comforts for a relaxed stay.
Stripping back layers of paint, respecting the original layout and taking away any superfluous additions to reveal the true character and essence of this 500-year-old building was an arduous task. One we were proud to achieve to preserve the building for future generations.
Elegant guest rooms and suites
Spread across two floors, each accommodation is named after an historic royal figure from Asturias, adding a touch of noble charm. The double rooms and ensuite bathrooms offer a refined, elegant atmosphere, featuring contemporary décor, modern art and custom-made furniture that harmonises gracefully with the palace’s timeless character. On the first floor, the spacious master suites — Don Pelayo (100 sqm) and Reina Gaudiosa (70 sqm) — are bathed in natural light and offer delightful views of the gardens and ocean. For added convenience, an internal lift allows guests with limited mobility to easily access all rooms and suites.
Capturing the soul of a golden era. The exquisite Palacio de Figueras is an exceptional property for hosting special events, business meetings and memorable celebrations. With a selection of spacious lounges available, we can host presentations, talks and meetings, all depending on your needs. For larger celebrations, up to 200 guests can be comfortably hosted in a bespoke, integrated marquee that spills into the gardens. Inside, a cutting-edge professional kitchen is available for all your catering requirements, as well as cookery classes and chef’s demonstrations. Both the stylish interiors and the pretty gardens make the perfect backdrop for professional photoshoots.
Discover Asturias: the emerald jewel in Spain's crown
Asturias is wonderfully unspoilt and practically untouched by tourism. Every way you turn your eyes alight on soaring mountains and lush valleys, dense forests and golden beaches. Adventurers, food lovers and fans of history and architecture will all delight in discovering the region’s treasures. The palace is close to pretty fishing ports, one of the world’s best surfing beaches, Tapia, and only 1.5 hours from the ancient capital city of Oviedo, a haven for pre-Romanesque architecture. Inland you can discover the sheer cliffs, vast gorges and dramatic snow-capped mountains of the Picos de Europa, Spain’s most spectacular mountain region, where eagles soar and bears and wolves still roam. Alternatively, you might like to follow in the footsteps of pilgrims along the ancient Camino de Santiago.
