Azores: Elevated Wellness

Arrive in Terceira and begin your Azorean escape with a private group transfer to your exclusive retreat home, XHale. With the entire property reserved for your group, you’ll immediately settle into a relaxed, intimate atmosphere designed for connection and restoration.

After check-in, enjoy a welcome brunch at the hotel and time to unpack, explore the grounds, or unwind by the pool. Throughout today and tomorrow, guests will receive their Fit4Travel Jet Lag Relief Massage — a 30-minute personalized session scheduled in a relaxed staggered flow to support recovery from travel.

In the evening, gather for a beautiful welcome dinner featuring authentic Azorean cuisine and local flavors, the perfect way to connect with fellow travelers and set intentions for the week ahead.

Begin the day with a guided wellness session followed by breakfast at the hotel. Today’s highlight is a bespoke private island exploration for your group. Adventure at your own pace, you might forest bathe in moss-covered woods, descend into volcanic lava caves, breathe mineral-rich air near sulfur fumaroles, or simply soak in the island’s grounding energy.

Later, visit natural lava pools to swim, meditate on sun-warmed stones, or take in the Atlantic views. Enjoy a thoughtfully prepared picnic lunch in nature before returning to the hotel for gentle afternoon yoga. In the evening, relax over a Paella Night dinner at the hotel.

Start the morning with wellness and breakfast before transferring to the marina for a private whale and dolphin watching experience (weather permitting). Sail the Atlantic coastline alongside expert guides and observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat — a powerful reminder of the ocean’s scale and beauty. Depending on sailing times, a boxed breakfast or picnic lunch will be provided.

Return to the hotel for a restorative afternoon wellness session.

In the evening, head into town for a three-course dinner at a charming local restaurant, complete with wine or beer and relaxed island hospitality. Transfers are included.

After morning wellness and breakfast, depart for a guided coastal hike. Choose from two route options based on group preference, exploring dramatic cliffs, sweeping Atlantic views, and untouched natural landscapes.

Pause for a scenic picnic lunch along the coast before returning to the hotel in the afternoon for rest and personal time.

This evening, enjoy a relaxed BBQ dinner at the hotel — a casual, communal way to unwind after a day of movement and exploration.

Ease into the morning with wellness and breakfast before enjoying a full day at leisure. Redeem spa vouchers for massage treatments, relax in the spa circuit, or explore the UNESCO-listed town of Angra do Heroísmo with its colorful streets, cafés, and boutique shops. Lunch is at leisure.

Later in the afternoon, gather for an exclusive poolside sound bath (weather permitting), creating space for deep relaxation and integration.

As evening arrives, come together for a meaningful closing ceremony, including reflection, journaling, and grounding rituals by the fire when conditions allow. Celebrate the journey with an unforgettable farewell dinner featuring artisanal wood-fired pizzas made with garden-foraged toppings, local cheeses, and shared storytelling.

Enjoy one final morning wellness session followed by a celebratory brunch with mimosas. After check-out, transfer as a group to Terceira Airport for onward journeys home, refreshed, grounded, and deeply connected.
