An islandin the middleof the Atlantic
Voted one of Europe's most beautiful islands, São Miguel brings together volcanic lakes, natural hot springs, black-sand beaches and trails suspended over the Atlantic. A capital built to human scale, under two hours from Lisbon and a few hours from Europe's main cities — the perfect setting to live or invest.
World's Best Destination — World Travel Awards, three consecutive years.
Thermal Pools
The thermal waters lie deep underground, with a completely natural chemical composition. Through the interaction of water and rock, they take on therapeutic and dermatological properties — a bathing ritual only São Miguel can offer.
