Development Strategy
We in Discovery Hotel Management have two hotels in Azores, São Miguel island. Our focus is the high-end Market, so that’s the reason that we invest a significant amount in promotion our hotels overseas in the luxury market.
Octant Furnas
History & Story
The Azores archipelago, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Portugal, is one of the last truly untouched places in Europe, with nine pristine volcanic islands, vast verdant canopies with every type of flora and fauna imaginable, thermal water springs, lagoons, and prismatic marine life. São Miguel, the largest and lushest of these islands, is now home to the Octant Furnas, Thermal & Spa, which affords its guests every opportunity to explore the island’s many wonders. Celebrated Portuguese designer Nini Andrade Silva works her magic in the hotel’s nature-inspired interiors with whimsical touches.

Main Strengths, Special Touch
The lobby market is the soul of the hotel with a reception, lounge, restaurant, and grocery store where local products are highlighted. Guests can avail themselves of a full wellness program at the hotel’s thermal and spa center.
Every Octant is a tribute to its location. They are places where you will find care and attention, peace and freedom, with no time constraints. As well as rare emotion, in-depth knowledge, and unique encounters and experiences that you will remember forever.
Here, in the Furnas Valley, the island’s ancient volcano is still bubbling hot. Here, at the place with the highest concentration of hot springs in Europe, the contemporary architecture blends harmoniously with the unique natural beauty arising from the quenturas beneath the surface. With hotel having dynamic thermal pools open round the clock; both indoors and outdoors, we give pride of place to well-being and a deep reconnection with nature. The 10 spa treatment rooms will be the ideal complement, especially after visiting the surrounding routes and trails. It’s just that while the views and local experiences will recharge your batteries, our treatments are the pinnacle of relaxation on this well-deserved vacation — and you do deserve it, don’t you?
Location
Endless spectacular green vistas here are punctuated by a volcanic complex of geothermal springs and three caldera lakes, including the bucket-list-worthy Lagoa do Fogo. If you’ve ever wondered what European forests looked like before the Ice Age, São Miguel is it. Millennia-old cycads and ginkgo trees abound in places such as the Terra Nostra Botanical Garden, where a muddy brown thermal pool will dye your toenails orange thanks to it rich iron content.
Key sites/activities in the area
The range of activities to choose from are dizzying, such as whale watching, hiking, scuba diving, and visiting the hot water springs to name just a few.

On the top floor of the hotel and with an incredible view of the garden in front, this room, whose project is signed by Nini Andrade Silva’s Atelier, is a tribute to the hotel’s privileged location, its green nature and the thermal complex that integrates the hotel.
In keeping with the narrative environment, all details have been carefully thought out to transform your stay into a trip through Furnas’ cultural and historical heritage.
The predominant tones symbolize everything you will find here – lush nature, volcanic ash, wood and the sea – and range from deep greens and browns to grays.
Harmoniously combining some pieces of contemporary design with vintage notes, we want to inspire you to have unique memories, through the experiences that the island of São Miguel has to offer.
In the late afternoon, returning from your Island tour, sit at your bedroom window drinking a coffee and take a deep breath. The Azores are a place without comparison, enjoy!

Restaurants & Bars
• This is a place for meetings and synergies, under the leadership of CHEF HENRIQUE MOURO. In the land of fire, we combine products from the countryside with those from the sea, and cooked them in a wood-fired oven, in a Josper or naturally in ovens dug out over the hot springs.. From the meats that come to us from local producers, to the fish from the auction and the freshest greens, we are passionate about the flavours of the Azores – genuine and rustic, cooked traditionally or in a more contemporary way. So it will be easy to travel through the immensity of the island, even without leaving your seat at the table.
Take the opportunity, too, to visit our Lobby Market and buy some of the products and utensils used at the À TERRA restaurant, or other local delicacies and items.
