Pestana Bahia Praia sits in a bay beside Praia de Água d'Alto on São Miguel, with direct access to the beach and views across the Atlantic. Walking trails and the volcanic lakes of Lagoa do Fogo and Lagoa das Sete Cidades are among the island landscapes within reach, as are Furnas’s hot springs. For company gatherings, the hotel has meeting rooms and space in the grounds for a marquee. The 9 Ilhas restaurant hosts private events, while Lugar da Praia serves Portuguese and international dishes, with light meals extending to a sea-view terrace. Aqqua Bar pairs drinks and snacks with a terrace overlooking the water, and has live music on selected days. Away from the meeting spaces, guests can use the outdoor pool, tennis courts, games room, sauna and Turkish bath; private parking is available on site.
