Luxury Short Break at White Exclusive Villas & Suites
At this amazing boutique hotel, the brilliant whitewashed walls and azure ocean are reminiscent of a Greek island. However, the volcanic stone lintels, raw wood furniture and tactile fabrics are all Azores. The combination of that laid-back Hellenic atmosphere and charming Azores style results in pure luxury.
Here, breakfast is excellent and includes delicious local fresh fruit, home-made bread, yoghurt and of course the island’s renowned cheeses. During the day take the chance to pick at yummy grilled garlicky prawns, and in the evening enjoy cocktails on the terrace watching the sunset over the Atlantic.
If you can tear yourself away from the mesmerising sea views and the delicious local food, then the island of São Miguel is just waiting for you to get out and explore it by car.
