Where can I bathe in hot thermal waters in the Azores?

Answer updated 18 October 2026Independent guide
Short answer

You can bathe in hot thermal waters at Furnas (Terra Nostra Park and Poça da Dona Beija) on São Miguel, and at Caldeira Velha and Ferraria (ocean-fed) also on São Miguel. Other islands like São Jorge and Graciosa have natural pools and thermal spots. Water temperatures and access vary; check locally for opening hours, fees and safety conditions.
