Camels lookout Whale Watching Tower

Fonte Hotel - Aldeia da Fonte located over the "Bay of Pigeons" in the south of Pico island, Azores, and next to Pico Mountain is just in the center of one of the best world sanctuaries of whales and dolphins. These cetaceans live here all year round and it is possible to see them in the middle of winter. Because we are a Bio and Nature Hotel we want to offer our guests the best of our environment we decided to build a private Whale Watching Tower (as you can see on the picture) according to the traditional layout of the old towers. From there our guests can and do watch plenty of sea birds, dolphins and whales. Tipically they spend hours observing the sea and enjoying a very powerful experience full of positive emotions. Our watching tower as become a landmark and a symbol of our hotel contributing to our policies of health and wellness and boosts the natural capacities of the Azores Islands.
Travel to Azores is going back to unspoiled nature and staying in our hotel, a Green Lodging facility is a lifetme experience.
