Start your morning with a fresh breeze at the Atrio buffet restaurant, or spend your evenings exploring the world through food. You’ll find authentic local flavours at the Cabo Girão restaurant, rustic Italian dishes at Trattoria de la Fontana, and exotic spices at the Moroccan-themed Au Tagine. It is a true sensory delight to dine just steps from the refreshing sea breeze on the outdoor terraces.

Pools and Spa

The centerpiece of the resort is the massive outdoor saltwater pool—one of the largest on the island—where you can float while gazing at the horizon. If you prefer a quieter dip, there is a heated indoor pool available too. For those seeking a deeper level of relaxation, the wellness centre offers a range of professional massages and beauty rituals. Please note that the use of the Spa centre, including the sauna, steam room, and specific treatments, is subject to additional charges.

Beach

The hotel is situated approx. a 10-minute walk from Praia Formosa, a unique volcanic pebble beach known for its clear waters. You can easily reach it via the public promenade that runs directly in front of the hotel grounds, offering a scenic walk along the coast.

Sport and Entertainment

Keep up your fitness routine in the well-equipped gym or enjoy a gentle stroll along the coastal path. In the evenings, the atmosphere shifts to a more sophisticated pace; you can enjoy live music or a quiet cocktail at the Coast Bar while the sun sets over the Atlantic. For those who enjoy a bit of competition, there is also a library and a games room available.

Family Amenities

Families will appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and dedicated features for younger guests. Kids will love the separate outdoor paddling pool, providing a safe space for them to splash around while you lounge nearby. The spacious gardens also offer plenty of room for family walks and spotting the local flora.
