The Azores for families

The Azores are currently one of the largest whale sanctuaries in the world, where you can find 24 different species. This represents a third of the total existing species. Thanks to the fact that the Azores is a migratory route for these animals, it is possible to observe them throughout the year. Take the opportunity! The trip to the sea lasts approximately 3 hours and there are several companies that carry out this excursion. It is an activity for the whole family, but keep in mind that the recommended minimum age is 5 years. If it becomes a family-friendly activity, then we recommend you also book a family-friendly villa in Azores for the best experience with the ones you love the most.

The Azores for big groups.

If you book a villa in Azores don't miss the local gastronomy. As a good island in the Azores, you can enjoy excellent fish and seafood cooked in different styles. It is curious to know that the only clams in the archipelago grow in San Jorge. You can also enjoy good meat. The cow has a Protected Geographical Indication and some dishes are the Terceira "alcatra", meat "molha" or the regional fashion steak. If you want to try it, you can make this barbecue in the forests of Serreta.

Located on the island of La Graciosa, the thermal baths were discovered in 1750. Today they are part of a small thermal centre that offers therapeutic baths with the properties of the water.

A different place, to say the least. You don't always have the opportunity to visit a volcano from within. It is essential if you go to the island of Terceira.

Approximately 3 hours long. Come and visit this majestic place!
