Inhale. Exhale. For a moment, forget the hustle and bustle of your day-to-day life, the stress from work, the hustle and bustle that excites you but exhausts you at the same time, and imagine yourself enjoying the peace and silence that some magical islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean have to offer. Like the idea?

We know that you want so much more than a stereotyped vacation. We get you… It’s the unforgettable experiences you’re looking for, meeting genuine people, exploring untouched nature, feeling truly renewed with the smell of the sea.

We are pleased to inform you that these islands – the Azores – are not that far away and that we can comfortably take you there whenever you want. Also, because here there is always something to see or do, at any time of the year.

It’s always a good idea to visit the Azores. During the summer months, admiring the lakes and landscapes on bright days, stretching out on the several beaches of black sand or golden sand – in the case of the island of Santa Maria -, enjoying the bathing areas in the middle of basaltic rocks or diving in the clear and much warmer waters than in areas of the same latitude in Western Europe, largely due to the warm current of the Gulf of Mexico that spreads to the Azores, may be the most desirable activities.

However, on less sunny days, the countless experiences that the Azores offer and, above all, its lush landscapes, gain an inexplicable grandiosity and a mystique that can only be understood in loco. It seems that the mysterious legends that are told here come to life when the sky is gray.

A cycle touring activity, mountain biking or a simple walk on one of the trails of the vast network that you can find in the Azores are often toasted by the drizzle, so typical most of the year and which gives a pleasant earthy smell and an unexpected refreshment.

And, if a rainy day on vacation seems unpleasant to you, don’t forget that the rainy climate of these islands gives them the lush nature that offers wonderful views each place you visit and creates unexpected opportunities.

A relaxing bath in the warm waters of Terra Nostra Park, in Poça da Dona Beija, in Termas da Ferraria, in Caldeira Velha (São Miguel island), or in Carapacho (Graciosa island) takes on a unique ambience with the steam released by the hot water and the rain that runs through the tree branches.

As the air and water temperatures are mild all year round in the Azores, you will easily find opportunities to carry out a range of adventure and nature activities, with the advantage of finding even fewer tourists than you would expect in the high season. Furthermore, the costs associated with flights, accommodation and activities may be significantly lower.

Another advantage of the low season will be to be able to enjoy the comfortable hotel resorts and local accommodation and to delight in the local cuisine in the most famous restaurants, which are much less crowded at this time.

This rich cuisine, this wide range of accommodation, these breathtaking landscapes or these baths in thermal waters in the most beautiful natural settings also lead us to say that the Azores are an excellent choice for those who want to experience romantic moments. These islands are also capable of providing wonderful and unforgettable moments for two!

To travel in this low season, please take note that you can find out, in advance, what the weather will be like in several spots through SpotAzores app, which has cameras placed in many parts of the islands, and plan your activities accordingly.

Whenever you like, go from imagination to action and fly to this Atlantic paradise. We are waiting for you!
