This contemporary boutique hotel is situated in an unbeatable cliff-top location in the village of Lagoa. Has unhindered ocean views and exude a relaxed, barefoot style of luxury. True to its name, everything from the whitewashed walls and polished concrete floors to the stone terraces surrounding the pool are brilliant white, warmed by raw wood furniture and tactile fabrics. The terraces that run the length of the hotel and overlook the sea are spectacular. The white of the rooms and the azure of the ocean are reminiscent of a Greek island, but this converted 18th-century building also has intrinsically Azorean touches, with volcanic stone lintels and, in some rooms, stone beams and detailing.
