Octant Ponta Delgada, nestled in the heart of the Azores on São Miguel Island, introduces five new room categories this April, including a Whale Watching Suite. Following the completion of an extensive renovation project led by award-winning Portuguese interior designer Nini Andrade Silva, the hotel elevates the guest experience by seamlessly integrating the verdant landscapes of São Miguel and Atlantic Ocean into the interiors.
Offering 123 rooms, Octant Ponta Delgada boasts a stunning coastal location with sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. Among the five newly renovated suite categories, the spotlight shines on a Whale Watching Room; a sanctuary where guests can observe the majestic blue whales with an in-room telescope and private balcony. With panoramic ocean views and thoughtful amenities, including exercise and yoga equipment and a minibar with local products, the new room promises an unparalleled connection with the surrounding nature of the islands.
From the Sea View Room, offering stunning vistas of the marina, to the spacious Family Two Bedroom suite, perfect for family getaways, every space reflects the island’s natural charm and elegance. Guests can also choose between a Premium Sea View Room, where luxury meets serenity, or experience the ultimate comfort and style of a Sea View Suite, complete with a bedroom, living room, and two bathrooms.
“Our goal with the renovations was to enhance the guest experience by celebrating the unique beauty of the Azores,” says Manuel Goes, General Manager of Octant Ponta Delgada. “The Whale Watching Room embodies this vision, offering guests a one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect with the ocean and create unforgettable memories.”
In August 2023, Octant Ponta Delgada unveiled a delicate transformation of its communal spaces inspired by the natural landscape and Azorean culture. The renovation included the opening of a new cheese and wine shop, featuring products from local artisans paying homage to the unique crafts of the region and connecting with local communities. Alongside the project, Octant Ponta Delgada launched a series of gastronomic experiences taking guests on a journey through the flavours of the Portuguese island as well as the introduction of a wine list highlighting the Archipelago’s varieties, known for their unique volcanic terroir.
Octant Ponta Delgada, nestled between the cosmopolitan lifestyle of the marina and exotic interior of the island of São Miguel, has sustainability and conservation at heart. With the À TERRA restaurant supplied by local producers, spa treatments infused with local ingredients such as Azorean milk and pineapple, and a panoramic outdoor pool, guests can expect a relaxing and authentic break. For the adventurous, Octant Ponta Delgada’s Experience Manager is dedicated to creating one-of-a-kind moments, from local culinary experiences, hiking trails and canyoning to whale watching from the hotel’s Whale Watching Bar and swimming with dolphins.
To celebrate the unveiling of the renovations, Octant Ponta Delgada is offering special perks for guests who book directly through the hotel website, including welcome amenities, discounts on spa services and dining, and priority check-in.
