Azores

We feature a curated collection of holiday rentals on São Miguel, Pico and Faial, three of the most captivating islands in the Azores.

Located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal’s Azores archipelago consists of nine volcanic islands famed for their extraordinary natural beauty and a rich maritime heritage. As the legendary ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau famously said, “There is the blue of the sea, and there is the blue of the Azores!”

Though united by their raw natural beauty and deep sense of tranquillity, each island has its own distinct character and charm: from the emerald lakes and botanical abundance of São Miguel, to the vineyards and volcanic silhouette of Pico, or the cosmopolitan harbour of Faial. Be sure to check Condé Nast’s  Traveller Insider Guide to the Azores Islands. Regular ferries and internal flights make it easy to island-hop, allowing you to experience the landscapes, culture and personality that each island has to offer.
