Caloura Essence

There are places you visit. Caloura is lived. Welcome to Caloura Essence.

Located in the exclusive Quinta do Mirante, one of the most prestigious condominiums on the Island of São Miguel, Caloura Essence is an elegant contemporary residence designed for those seeking space, comfort, privacy and an authentic connection to nature. Set on a plot of over 600 m², it combines modern architecture, spacious outdoor areas and a tranquil setting, where the green of the landscape merges with the blue of the Atlantic.

Inside, its generous 180 m² have been carefully designed to prioritise natural light and fluidity between the different spaces, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere at any time of year.

The ground floor welcomes the main areas of the house, with a spacious living and dining room, fully equipped kitchen and two bedrooms prepared to ensure a relaxing stay. Outside, a spacious covered porch naturally extends the social area of the dwelling, becoming the perfect place for peaceful breakfasts, family meals or long evenings outdoors.

Next to the garden, a generous barbecue invites you to prepare fresh fish just arrived from the Azorean seas, seafood from the region or the renowned meat from the lush pastures of São Miguel, transforming each meal into a special moment of conviviality.

On the upper floor, a spacious mezzanine offers a versatile space dedicated to leisure and rest. Equipped with a sofa bed, games area and access to a pleasant terrace, it is the ideal place to read a book, relax at the end of the day or simply appreciate the serenity of Caloura. At night, the reduced light pollution reveals a magnificent starry sky, whilst the characteristic call of the shearwaters reminds you that you are on an island where nature continues to set the rhythm of the days.

With the capacity to comfortably accommodate up to six guests, Caloura Essence is the ideal choice for families or groups of friends seeking to enjoy São Miguel with space, privacy and tranquillity.

The surroundings are as special as the house itself. The ancient basalt stone walls, built to protect the vineyards from the force of the wind and sea spray, continue to shape the landscape and preserve the identity of this Atlantic coast. Walking through these quiet streets, feeling the aroma of fig trees warmed by the sun and hearing the sea breaking against the rocks is an experience that remains in memory long after the journey ends.

Just a few minutes’ walk away are some of the most beautiful spots on the southern coast of the island, such as Porto da Caloura, ideal for diving in crystal-clear waters, the Natural Pool at Ponta da Galera (Cerco) and Praia da Baixa d’Areia, one of the most appreciated sandy beaches on São Miguel. In the vicinity you will also find excellent restaurants, diving centres, coastal trails and various sea-related activities.

Despite the tranquillity of the location, Caloura Essence is only about 20 km from Ponta Delgada and João Paulo II Airport, allowing you to easily explore some of the island’s most emblematic sites, such as Lagoa do Fogo, the Furnas and Sete Cidades. If you visit São Miguel during August, you can also experience the traditional Festas de Nossa Senhora dos Anjos, in Água de Pau, one of the island’s most genuine celebrations.

Caloura Essence was designed for those who appreciate tranquillity, comfort and authenticity. A place where every detail invites you to slow down, breathe in nature and experience São Miguel in a truly memorable way.
