This private after-hours access allows guests to soak in the warm, iron-rich waters under the stars, with no crowds.

The hotel's restaurant specializes in Azorean cuisine, using locally sourced ingredients and regional wines guided by an on-site sommelier. Breakfast is included and offers an à la carte continental spread with fresh local produce, cheeses, and pastries. The Gardener's Bar serves tapas-style meals and cocktails with live music performances several evenings per week.
