Visit the Azores: everything you need to know about Azores holidays

Where to stay in the Azores

The Azores is the ultimate spot for an island getaway. Package holidays to the Azores from UK cities are a great way to explore this autonomous region of Portugal, located at the western tip of Europe out on the Atlantic Ocean. Here are some tips on where to stay in the Azores. 

  • Ponta Delgada: Located on the island of São Miguel, this is the Azores’ largest city. Home to an international airport, it's a great starting point for exploring magnificent nature and fascinating history across the archipelago. 
  • Ribeira Grande: Lovers of the great outdoors will enjoy a stay in Ribeira Grande, also on São Miguel and home to beautiful beaches and stunning volcanic landscapes.  
  • Povoacao: This is a great base to discover thermal hot springs and charming traditional churches.

How to find cheap Azores deals

Booking accommodation, flights, and car hire together in the form of Azores travel packages is a great way to save money on your break. You may even be able to save up to 27* on Azores trip packages. These are usually a more affordable choice for Azores budget holidays than booking the different parts of your break separately – and they're more convenient, too. Booking last-minute holidays to the Azores can also save money, as you might be surprised by a special discount or last-minute deal. And don’t forget to keep Expedia's search filters in mind: narrow down search results to different hotel ratings, flights and car hire options to find some of the best prices. Pro tip: if you're not in search of sun, January and February bring the coolest, rainiest weather to the Azores, making them less popular with visitors. If you're flexible about when to visit the Azores, opting to travel at the beginning of the year may be a good choice for your wallet.

We clearly went in the off season, mid January, so there were few guests, which we didn’t mind at all. Free Breakfast buffet was excellent as was the hotel’s service the entire time.
