Azores
Quiet, understated luxury
that’s profoundly local.
Azores with Pura Aventura
"Seeing the Sete Cidades crater lakes from the viewpoint was amazing. But knowing you can walk a trail away from the crowded part to have the view to yourself was what made it truly special - thank you!"
—Sue Lamberton, Pura traveler
Our Azores Vacations
From volcanic peaks to quiet harbors, the Azores invite you to travel at your own pace - island hopping with ease, exploring as a family, or slowing down for a winter escape.
"Pico's wine is such a highlight - it tastes of the sea, but in a good way! You could spend hours sat with a cold glass watching the view across the lava vineyards down to the ocean."
—Sarah Wightman, Pura Aventura
Places That Stay With You
Pico
Perched in the heart of the lava vineyards, with Pico Volcano behind and the ocean below, this little place feels quietly extraordinary.
Faial
After a day exploring Faial, few things beat settling into a quiet corner with a book and the ocean for company.
Pico
Families find their own slice of paradise at a two-bedroom villa by the ocean, with time for a swim in the pool and a swing in the hammock.
