Octant Hotels Furnas

Octant Hotels Furnas is a volcanic wellness retreat located in Vale das Furnas on São Miguel Island in the Azores, within the crater of a dormant volcano and surrounded by Europe's highest concentration of thermal spring waters. The Thermal & Spa Center features 10 treatment rooms and an extensive hydrotherapy offering including floatbeds, Shirodhara oil-flow massage, Vichy shower, hydromassage, sauna, and hamam, alongside indoor and outdoor thermal pools fed by the legendary Quente das Quenturas springs and accessible 24 hours a day. The treatment menu is deeply rooted in local ingredients — volcanic minerals, Azores-grown coffee, pineapple, and green tea — with rituals such as Terra Purra combining sea salt, olive oil, and basalt wraps. Paddleboard meditation and SUP yoga on Lagoa das Furnas complete this extraordinary nature-immersed wellness experience.
