The 4-star Octant Furnas is located in the village of Furnas and has an innovative design that blends perfectly with the natural hot springs and gardens that surround it. Guests can luxuriate in the spa facilities with a dip in the thermal pool, relax in the sauna and hammam (steam room) or be pampered at the full-service spa which specializes in Shirodhara (oil massages).
Furnas Valley is the centre of São Miguel's unique geothermal activity, with the highest concentration of hot springs in Europe. Here you will find two active volcanic sites with bubbling caldeiras where the famous local dish Cozido is cooked underground, as well as the fabulous Terra Nostra Botanical Park, multiple hot spring pools for bathing, and the stunning Furnas Lake.
