We in Discovery Hotel Management have two hotels in Azores, São Miguel island. Our focus is the high-end Market, so that’s the reason that we invest a significant amount in promotion our hotels overseas in the luxury market.
Octant Furnas
History & Story
The Azores archipelago, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Portugal, is one of the last truly untouched places in Europe, with nine pristine volcanic islands, vast verdant canopies with every type of flora and fauna imaginable, thermal water springs, lagoons, and prismatic marine life. São Miguel, the largest and lushest of these islands, is now home to the Octant Furnas, Thermal & Spa, which affords its guests every opportunity to explore the island’s many wonders. Celebrated Portuguese designer Nini Andrade Silva works her magic in the hotel’s nature-inspired interiors with whimsical touches.

Main Strengths, Special Touch
The lobby market is the soul of the hotel with a reception, lounge, restaurant, and grocery store where local products are highlighted. Guests can avail themselves of a full wellness program at the hotel’s thermal and spa center.
Location
Endless spectacular green vistas here are punctuated by a volcanic complex of geothermal springs and three caldera lakes, including the bucket-list-worthy Lagoa do Fogo. If you’ve ever wondered what European forests looked like before the Ice Age, São Miguel is it. Millennia-old cycads and ginkgo trees abound in places such as the Terra Nostra Botanical Garden, where a muddy brown thermal pool will dye your toenails orange thanks to it rich iron content.
Key sites/activities in the area
The range of activities to choose from are dizzying, such as whale watching, hiking, scuba diving, and visiting the hot water springs to name just a few.
