Faial is the island that seems to contain the whole world, with what is called “the smallest cosmopolitan city in the world” and much more. Between fields covered with blue hydrangeas, traces of volcanic activity, the vast ocean, and the imposing view of Mount Pico, the island offers unique landscapes that cannot be missed on your family vacation itinerary in the Azores.

Whale watching - Faial offers ideal conditions for seeing whales and dolphins throughout the year, including sperm whales, common dolphins, and bottlenose dolphins, with the possibility of sighting rare species such as blue whales and humpback whales at specific times of the year.

Beaches and natural pools - Porto Pim beach, with its crystal clear waters and framed by Monte da Guia, is the most popular on Faial, but the island offers many other options, such as Almoxarife beach and the natural pools of Varadouro, perfect for exploring with the family.

Capelinhos Volcano - Site of the last volcanic eruption in the Azores; the lush vegetation characteristic of the island of Faial gives way to the inhospitable landscape of this volcano, which today, from a volcanological point of view, is still active. A climb to the lighthouse will provide you with a magnificent view of the volcano.

Horta Marina - The most important marina in the Azores and one of the most important in the world, it is the fourth most visited marina on the globe. Inside, you can see the countless paintings that yachtsmen leave on their walls, providing a true open-air art exhibition.
