Aqua Pópulo - Eco Village

A heated rooftop pool overlooking the Atlantic on one side and São Miguel's volcanic peaks on the other sets the tone for this boutique eco-stay near Ponta Delgada. Seven self-catering apartments, designed by Nini Andrade Silva, sit in a single modern building a short walk from the Pópulo surf break. The feel is quietly luxurious without announcing it too loudly, which, given the view, seems like the right call.
