Hotel Verde Mar & Spa

The Hotel Verde Mar & Spa is a five-star seafront hotel, overlooking Praia Monte Verde beach on Sao Miguel’s secluded north coast.

One of Sao Miguel’s newest hotels, the Verde Mar & Spa opened it’s doors to the public in 2020. It’s 152 rooms are modern and spacious – we highly recommend their seaview balcony rooms, with their panoramic view of the island’s ultramarine Atlantic coast.

The hotel sits on the western edge of picturesque town Ribeira Grande – the largest town on the north coast of the island, famous for it’s charming eight arched Ponte de Oito Arcos bridge and the art-deco splendour of the Teatro Ribeiragrandense. Many of Sao Miguel’s must-see spots are also just a short drive away: the popular surf beach at Santa Barbara, the geothermal pools and hot waterfalls of the Caldera Velha, and Europe’s oldest tea plantation at Gorreana.
