White Exclusive Suites & Villas

The hotel is in a quiet yet convenient location to explore the island of San Miguel. There is a lovely infinity pool and patio area with opportunities for outdoor dining while listening to the crashing waves below. We were able to reserve a secluded jacuzzi which was a relaxing way to end our day of exploring the island. Joao was extremely helpful in giving us information and directions of where to go on the island, how to park and activities available.

THE STAFF! Sandra, Vincent’s and Joao went above and beyond during our stay! They gave us the best check in experience, ensured we were aware of all the amenities at the hotel (don’t miss out on the hot tub reservation after a long day of hiking) and helped us optimally plan our days. Their sincerity and service were unparalleled! The view and location are also incredible. Very easy to drive to several hikes, waterfalls, grocery stores and running trails. Not to mention the complimentary breakfast is outstanding!

Hotel was in a good location. Our room was very well appointed and had fantastic ocean views and spectacular sunsets.The property was very clean and modern in style. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The view was gorgeous and the shared amenities were beautiful. We ate several meals at the hotel; the food was very good, particularly the cheese plate and sparkling sangria. A short walk from the resort was a lovely paved walking/running path along the water. We appreciated the extra touches like the "hut" you could reserve for your own use to do what you liked, such as yoga, meditation, a nap, etc. It provided privacy with sliding doors that opened to a fabulous view of the water. There was also a heated spa that we reserved on another evening. All of the staff spoke excellent English and many of the other guests were American, as are we. This hotel was written up in the New York Times which is how we found it. It was reviewed as sleek minimalism which is accurate. I'd add the views are breathtaking. We visited Lisbon, Cascais, Barcelona and this resort in the Azores - the Azores were our favorite part of the trip - a must see.

Unbeatable view. Perched on the edge of the world. Utterly sublime.
