Take a break from your tour of Sao Miguel with a relaxing swim at Poca Da Dona Beija, a small spa featuring three natural pools of iron-rich water known for its therapeutic properties. Fed by a series of hot springs, the small pools remain at about 39 C (102 F), an ideal temperature for soothing tense muscles and easing pains associated with chronic rheumatism. On-site facilities include restrooms, showers, and changing rooms, as well as a small gift shop selling handmade jewelry. Keep in mind that the yellowish water can leave stains on your clothes, so wear an old bathing suit for your swim.

Overall good value for money. You don't stay there too long because..... how long do you actually want to be in a 39° bath? So we spent around 1h, but it was a very well spent hour. We somehow managed to get there at a time with no queue, which was nice in retrospect. Worth visiting.

So fun, more beautiful than any artificial spa. Relaxing, although busy. They provide baskets to put towels/things or charge for lockers. There was one colder pool in the back which was nice. Cold showers included but need to pay for hot. We went during the day but I'm sure it's exquisite at night too !
