Scott Dunn Choice Perks
-
Set within one of São Miguel’s most atmospheric regions, the hotel is surrounded by steaming hot springs, lush botanical gardens, and volcanic terrain
-
A defining feature is the hotel’s access to naturally heated geothermal pools, complemented by a serene spa that draws on the restorative properties of the island’s mineral-rich waters.
-
The culinary offering celebrates Azorean flavours, including dishes inspired by the region’s famous cozido das Furnas, slow-cooked using geothermal heat.
Nestled within the lush, misty landscape of Furnas Valley, Octant Furnas offers a deeply restorative escape shaped by the elemental forces of the island itself. Surrounded by botanical gardens and naturally heated springs, the hotel feels quietly immersed in its environment, with contemporary interiors that draw on the tones and textures of the volcanic terrain. Soft lighting, natural materials, and expansive windows create a sense of calm throughout, while the ever-present steam rising from the earth beyond serves as a gentle reminder of the region’s geothermal energy.
Life here is centred around wellness and slow immersion. Guests drift between thermal pools, spa treatments, and peaceful garden spaces, or venture out to explore Furnas’ crater lake and walking trails. Dining is equally rooted in place, celebrating local ingredients and age-old cooking techniques unique to the region. With its tranquil setting and thoughtful design, Octant Furnas offers a more introspective side of the Azores—where nature, comfort, and wellbeing exist in perfect harmony.
