This Hideaway is a contemporary place and very suitable for people who like a bit more hustle and bustle. A lovely hotel with a lively restaurant as its beating heart where islanders also like to come for drinks and delicious (mostly Italian) dishes. Child friendly and bang on a beautiful tropical beach.
This Hideaway is situated in the southeast of the island… off the beaten track, away from all the tourist spots. Distinctive to this hotel is that it’s run with locals, offering them a chance to learn, work and integrate with guests in a positive way. That immediately makes this place unique and gives it a perfect African vibe. Great example of sustainable break-even travel. It has a spacious layout, great atmosphere, is situated right near the beach and has everything for a relaxing stay!
What a beautiful new addition is this Hideaway on Portugal’s west coast, just an hour north of Lisbon. In this brand new hotel, careful consideration has been given to what the contemporary and pampered traveller needs. Rooms that not only look very handsome but are also very comfortable with a great bed, a good power shower and a terrace/balcony for hot days. There is a good spa, a fine outdoor pool and the food by chef Alexandre Silva is a treat that people come over for even from Lisbon.
I finish my trip on São Miguel on the south side of the island, here is a small exclusive hotel hidden behind a long white wall. You cannot imagine from the outside what is hidden behind the door and it’s such a surprise when you have entered and see the fantastic view from the terrace at the back. WOW, this is sea view… the Atlantic Ocean seems to embrace you, as the hotel is located on top of a spectacular volcanic cliff right by the sea. This hotel is ‘adults only’, something that fits well with its small scale and exclusivity.
