The Azores are the perfect place to escape from the modern world. Verdant parks, gorgeous beaches and picturesque views form the idyllic tranquil destination, exacerbated by the relatively difficult accessibility. The fact that ferry is the only viable way to enter Sao Roque means it has remained fairly untouched by the relentless demands of the tourism industry – even in the height of summer it remains quite calm. Simplistic architecture and unscathed walking trails are a refreshing change from the increase of modernisation, and many choose to wander around the rugged coastline to bask in the charming scenery and serenity. The accommodation is basic, but when you wake up to a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean, having a high range coffee machine suddenly pales in comparison. Sao Roque really is a nature lover’s paradise. Instead of scanning your itinerary for the next attraction, just grab a book and rejoice in the mecca of bliss.
You can hire a car at one of the rental companies, and there is a bus system that covers the main villages. Walking is also a popular option due to the agreeable aesthetics and temperature.
Much like the rest of the Azores, Vila da Praia is an oasis of glorious views, gorgeous weather and hours of relaxation. Head there in the winter and the island will be deserted, however, in the summer it transforms into an oasis of tourists enjoying the sun and sea. As expected from an island in such an ideal location, the beaches gracing the coastline are covered in beautiful golden sands laying adjacent to crystal blue waters. The perfect place to while away a few hours whilst gaining a sun kissed tan. Little activity occurs around Vila da Praia, instead the lifestyle revolves around the small port and the desire to lead a laid back and stress free life. After a few hours lounging around the beaches, try some sumptuous seafood at one of the fine restaurants.
The region is so small that it can be covered by foot.
