"The Azores are a beautiful place to visit, and Quinta Minuvida is a beautiful place to stay! The owners, Rimi and Joao are amazing - welcoming, gracious and kind. They are extremely attentive but also give you space. Their knowledge of the gardens and the island including the amazing local food is fantastic. They led our group on a few lovely hikes and gave us lots of options for the other days that we were venturing out. The rooms are gorgeous - and surrounded by the beauty of the grounds."

OUR DRIVING FORCE

ELEVATE CONSCIOUSNESS THROUGH TRAVEL. ​
Encourage a Journey of Discovery through meaningful experiences.
Enable responsible, sustainable travel.

We thrived for centuries in the Azores, the breadcrumbs of the Atlantic, through ingenuity, resourcefulness and sheer determination. We have tamed volcanoes and stormy seas to find sustenance. A simple, fulfilled life. At Quinta Minuvida we honor generations of sturdy Azoreans as we redefine hospitality through the lens of tradition, simplicity, creativity and authenticity. We aim to have the least possible impact on our resources. We bring you accommodation that balances comfort with sustainability principles, nourishing breakfasts that draw from local ingredients that generations of Azoreans have relied upon, and even immersive experience opportunities where you can learn more about this lost Noah's Ark of the Atlantic. Let's elevate travel together by engaging in a more gentle, respectful, and regenerative kind of leisure travel. ​> Read our full VISION and MISSION statement > Read (Y)OUR SUSTAINABILITY PLEDGE

We felt in paradise with everything around us: The freshness of the locally sourced food, the room with an inspiring morning view, the strategic location, the lushness of the garden. Most of all, the conversations and the contagious happiness of the entire team.
