Graciosa Island, known as the White Island of the Azores, is a place of quiet charm and timeless beauty. Smaller and less visited than many of its neighbours, Graciosa offers a truly authentic experience where volcanic landscapes, fertile fields, and welcoming communities create an atmosphere of serenity and discovery.
One of the island’s most impressive landmarks is the Furna do Enxofre, a vast volcanic cavern with an underground lake, accessed through a remarkable spiral staircase. Standing inside this natural wonder is an awe-inspiring reminder of the island’s volcanic origins and one of the most unique experiences in the Azores.
Beyond its geological marvels, Graciosa is a destination of rolling hills, vineyards, and traditional windmills that dot the landscape. The island’s winemaking tradition is centuries old, and visitors can enjoy tastings of its distinctive white wines, perfectly paired with fresh seafood and local specialties.
For those who love the outdoors, Graciosa offers scenic walking trails with views of gentle valleys, rugged coastlines, and the deep blue Atlantic. Its calm atmosphere makes it an ideal place to slow down, explore at your own pace, and savour the essence of island life.
