Octant Ponta Delgada Ponta Delgada (Azores)

Golf holiday at Octant Ponta Delgada – stylish relaxation in the middle of the Atlantic

If you are looking for an extraordinary golf holiday that combines nature, design and comfort at a high level, you should definitely consider the Octant Hotel Ponta Delgada on São Miguel, the largest island in the Azores. As a golfer, you will find the perfect balance between sporting challenge and a relaxed feel-good atmosphere here – with views of the Atlantic Ocean and close proximity to two of Portugal’s most exciting golf courses.

Octant Ponta Delgada – urban lifestyle meets island charm

The Octant is not a classic holiday hotel, but a stylish design hotel that perfectly matches the modern, nature-loving lifestyle of the Azores. It is located directly at the marina of Ponta Delgada – right in the middle of the action, but still quiet enough to relax.

The rooms are modern and puristically furnished, many of them with fantastic sea views. What immediately stands out is the attention to detail – from the high-quality bed linen to the well-thought-out lighting concept. After a round of golf, guests can enjoy the rooftop infinity pool, the small but exquisite spa area and the rooftop bar, which serves one of the best gin and tonics on the island.

Golf on São Miguel – a green paradise with a playful spirit

Ponta Delgada is the perfect starting point for rounds of golf on two spectacular courses:

Furnas Golf Course
About 40 minutes east, this 18-hole course is nestled in a volcanic landscape with hot springs, giant tree ferns and exotic plants. The course is hilly, varied and considered one of the most beautiful in Portugal.
Tip: Start early, then take a dip in the hot springs of Furnas – it doesn’t get any better than that.

Batalha Golf Course
This 27-hole course overlooking the Atlantic Ocean is only about 15 minutes from the hotel. Generous fairways, challenging doglegs and fast greens make Batalha a real highlight – especially at sunset, when the light dances across the Azores green.

Cuisine & atmosphere – enjoyment after a round of golf

The hotel’s own restaurant, À Terra, serves regional cuisine with a modern twist: freshly caught fish, local cheeses, sweet potatoes, pineapple, herbs – much of it comes directly from the island. Golfers appreciate good food, and here you will definitely not be disappointed. Accompanied by a glass of Pico wine or a gin made from local botanicals – the perfect end to 18 holes.

Stay flexible with a hire car

A hire car is recommended for golfers – not only to reach the golf courses, but also to explore the beauty of the island: crater lakes, hot springs, cliffs and volcanoes – São Miguel is a paradise for nature lovers. Everything is within easy reach of the hotel.

Conclusion: Octant Ponta Delgada for golfers

A golf holiday in the Azores is something special. The Octant Hotel Ponta Delgada offers the ideal base: stylish, comfortable and perfectly located. Combined with the spectacular Furnas and Batalha golf courses, it makes for a golf trip that will be remembered for a long time – varied, close to nature and with a real sense of discovery.
