Azores Holidays
Azores Holiday Guide 2025/2026
An archipelago of islands set in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the Azores are a truly unique destination. Lush green and dramatic landscapes, these Portuguese islands are the perfect place for a more adventurous holiday with lots of outdoor activities to try out.
Although not your typical beach holiday destination, the Azores attracts holidaymakers during the peak summer months when the weather is at its best and there's more chance of enjoying the sunshine out by the pool.

Getting To, From & Around The Azores
Flying to the Azores takes about four hours (just a bit shorter than flying to the Canary Islands) with two airlines currently running direct flights between the UK and Ponta Delgada, the main town on the island of Sao Miguel.
Once on the island, renting a car is a good option, allowing you to explore at your own pace. If you've booked your holiday through a package tour operator, coach transfers to your hotel may be included so it's worth knowing. They may also run day excursions so that you can easily explore more of the island.
