The Concept

Conscious tourism in the heart of Pico Island

Atlantic Peak was born from a clear vision: to create a space where tourism and landscape preservation coexist in perfect harmony. Located in Canada da Borracha, in Criação Velha, the development is part of the protected landscape of the Pico vineyards.

Inspired by the basalt corrals that order the Azorean landscape, the volumes of the accommodation units emerge from the terrain like natural elements, with green roofs and red window frames that evoke the vernacular architecture of the island.

"A tourist and educational attraction, where the tranquility of the landscape blends with history and local heritage, combined with the irreverence and adventure of those who climb the peak."
