Octant Furnas

Rooms are housed in a sleek, low-slung building that blends in with the natural landscape. The color palette is inspired by nature and embraces sulfuric yellows and lava stone gray as well as leather furniture for an earthy touch. A few vintage accessories complement the contemporary furniture.

Fire is at the heart of À TERRA restaurant, which showcases the bounty of the land and the sea. Don’t miss the signature Cozido à TERRA, a stew of sweet potatoes, local sausage, beef brisket, and vegetables cooked in a hot spring. The restaurant’s Lounge is decorated with a nod to nature, with leather couches and plenty of greenery.

A visit to the spa and its two thermal pools here is a must. One is housed in a black barn-style building with a glass roof and a waterfall massage jet. The other is outdoors and surrounded by greenery. For the full experience, try the thermal circuit which includes a Turkish bath, sauna, and pools. Massage, reflexology, and scrubs with brown sugar and pineapple are available.
