Overview
A contemporary cubical hotel on a prime spot overlooking the Atlantic, White Exclusive Suites & Villas brings a slice of Santorini to São Miguel with a sweeping oceanfront terrace and panoramic infinity pool. Yet its crisp, white interiors are distinctly Azorean: stone-vaulted arches and slabs of basalt reveal the original stone manor house within. Light-filled suites celebrate their showstopping oceanfront setting with driftwood furniture, sea-themed wall hangings and textiles. Then there’s the restaurant – a triumph of local flavour showcasing Azorean surf and turf. Outings curate all that’s wondrous about this one-of-a-kind island, from sunset drinks on the hotel’s motorboat to trips with dips in São Miguel’s thermal baths.
Highlights:
Peace, space & privacy
Oceanfront setting
First-class Azorean fare
Smith extra
A bottle of Azorean wine and a plate of local delicacies including cheese and charcuterie

Mr and Mrs Smith reviews
Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this coastal hotel on São Miguel and unpacked their pumice stones and pineapple jam, a full account of their beach break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside White Exclusive Suites & Villas in the Azores…
An incredible oceanfront setting one hundred metres wide on São Miguel’s south coast is the foundation for a luxurious stay at White Exclusive Suites & Villas. A sweeping terrace between hotel and ocean secures the Atlantic’s starring role; a hot-tub and infinity pool, alfresco bar at one end and a handful of suites opening onto the deck at the other create a variety of ways to savour it. Foundations alone, however, do not a luxe hotel make: attentive service, deftly planned days out (whale watching, a sunset cruise, forest hike or geothermal dip) and a gem of an Azorean restaurant cement White Exclusive’s first-class credentials. Suites are light-filled and sleekly dressed in white, softened with maritime macramé screens, driftwood furniture and patterned rugs – some with window seats, some with private terraces, and all with mesmerising ocean views. Only the A lister-worthy private villa, La Maison, looks onto the garden – although its four bedrooms, private pool and ample outdoor spaces more than compensate. White Exclusive’s most covetable quality, however, is its prized exclusivity – its raft of modern comforts enjoyed at any time by at most 20 (lucky) guests.

Dining information
Restaurant:
Wooden tables and rattan lamp shades bring warmth to the monochrome-modern dining room at Cardume, where white walls are punctuated with slabs of São Miguel basalt and offset by a charcoal-grey ceiling. Chef William Blake celebrates produce from the farm (at its sister hotel), Azorean pastures and of course the Atlantic in what he terms a ‘disruptive’ cuisine. Ornately presented plates are informed by a liberated mix of international influences: start with dry aged beef tartare or salt-baked cauliflower, followed by Azorean hake with periwinkles and pil-pil sauce or roasted lamb with fava beans and marjoram bearnaise. Leave room for strawberries in szechuan pepper syrup or chocolate and roast banana tart.
Top Table:
Cardume is an intimate space comprising tables for two – none in a bad spot, whether snug against the wall in front of the bar or nearer the oceanfront.
Last Orders:
The restaurant is open all day: for breakfast, 7am–11am; lunch runs through until 7pm, then dinner, 7pm–10pm.
Room Service:
A dedicated menu of small plates and snacks is available from 8am until 10pm.
Hotel Bar:
Choose between easy chairs in a vaulted space adjoining the restaurant or a covered bar of driftwood tables and stools outdoors where you can drink in the ocean views. An extensive wine list groups bottles by character, featuring plenty of Pico whites, Azorean rosé and Portuguese reds with an international exception made for Champagne.
