Furnas Lake Forest Living

As the first Eco-resort on the island of Sao Miguel, Furnas Lake Forest Living embodies the mantra that being close to nature is a positive and restorative experience. Our resort is located in a forested setting with plenty of hiking and walking trails along with a 5-mile round-the-lake walk of beautiful Furnas Lake, which is directly across the road from the property.

We are also within easy driving distance of numerous attractions including vista points, overlooks, hiking trails, and seaside villages.

Lovers of thermal bathing will appreciate the diversity of natural hot springs in the nearby village of Furnas, which are known throughout the world for their healing properties. A swim in the ocean is a short 20-minute drive to Ribeira Quente with its crescent-shaped black sand beach and charming fishing port. For stargazers, there are very few places better to view the night skies as we have no light pollution to interfere with your enjoyment of the heavens.

The Azores are often referred to as the "Hawaii of the Atlantic". One visit to Sao Miguel and will you understand why.

The property has 103 acres, where guests can relax and enjoy some quiet time. There are several hiking trails, fruit gardens, an outdoor swimming pool, and it is just across the street from Furnas Lake.

All houses are equipped to guarantee the comfort and safety of our guests and offer heating and air-conditioning, high-speed wifi, telephone and cable TV, as well as fully equipped kitchenettes.

Note: During the Covid-19 pandemic indoor areas such as the reading and family playroom areas are restricted. The restaurant and bar are closed, but we will offer room service.
