Our Venue
Tucked into the lush hills of São Miguel Island, our Ocean View Surf Villa is a peaceful island hideaway surrounded by green mountains, wild nature, and views of the Atlantic.
The house is comfortable and spacious with a relaxed boho surf vibe, featuring shared and private bedrooms, beautiful gardens, and cosy hangout spaces. It will feel like a warm home where we gather, share meals, connect, and slow down.
After long hiking days across the island, the villa becomes our sanctuary to rest, restore, and unwind.
