Santa Maria

At the southernmost tip of the archipelago, Santa Maria emerges as an oasis of warmth and luminosity. Between golden beaches and an unusual red desert, this was the first island to be seen by navigators and continues to fascinate with its own personality.

Long live the Sun of Santa Maria

Sun, sand and Ancestral soul

Santa Maria is the place where the Atlantic adopts warmer tones and the landscape defies expectations. Formosa Beach has clear sand that contrasts with the ochre lands of Barreiro da Faneca, while fishing villages reveal stories of faith and sea. Here, the weather moves slowly and each sunset is a celebration of the senses.

Barreiro da Faneca

A rare landscape in the Azores, marked by warm tones and arid texture. Known as the “red desert”, it creates an unexpected contrast with the ocean.
