Make the Most of Your Povoacao Stay

A gateway to geothermal wonders

Povoação sits in a volcanic crater on São Miguel's southeastern coast, surrounded by 7 hills that earned it the nickname "Vila das Sete Lombas." As the island's first settlement where Portuguese navigators landed in 1432, this quiet municipality features traditional calcada Portuguesa pavements and maintains an unhurried pace that contrasts with busier tourist centers. The nearby Furnas Valley draws visitors to Terra Nostra Park's 200-year-old botanical gardens and iron-rich thermal pool, plus the crater lake where locals cook traditional cozido stew underground using volcanic heat.

Refined experiences in a natural setting

Business travelers seeking wellness-focused retreats will find properties like Octant Furnas and Terra Nostra Garden Hotel offering upscale accommodations with geothermal amenities and meeting facilities. The dining scene centers on regional flavors, from Pic-Nic's authentic Azorean steak to Hotel do Mar's refined oceanview restaurant. The Pico do Ferro viewpoint provides sweeping panoramas of Furnas crater from 570 meters, while Ribeira Quente's Praia do Fogo offers swimming in ocean water warmed by underwater thermal vents.

Exploring the eastern island

Renting a car from João Paulo II Airport in Ponta Delgada, 60 km away, remains essential for navigating this region. The coastal cliffs of Nordeste and Salto do Prego waterfall trail make rewarding excursions. SkyMiles Members can maximize their journey by booking accommodations in this historically significant area.
