This pearl north of S. Miguel Island is the perfect place to host an intimate incentive for 100 people, where every needed is within its confines.
About Ribeira Grande
Ribeira Grande is the second biggest city on the island, about 25 minutes from the airport by car. It’s a small but rich town, picturesquely located on a volcanic plateau above sea level. The town’s charming historic center, deserves a morning exploring its narrow streets with urban architecture from 17th and 18th century, aligned with the magnificent specimens of the New Zealand Christmas trees.
Where to stay?
There are two staggering five-star hotels offering privileged views of the Atlantic Ocean, incredible amenities for your stay, as well as well-equipped meeting rooms. Hotel Verde Mar & Spa has 152 rooms, whereas Hotel Pedras do Mar 125 rooms and they’re only 10 mins away from each other. Another interesting property is Santa Barbara Eco Resort with 14 luxurious rooms, featuring direct access to the sea and was the first eco-friendly property in São Miguel.
Unforgettable Traits
How about using the local theatre in Ribeira Grande for a cocktail followed by a dinner in a 1933 building with eclectic architecture. This location can also have meetings or private shows for 146 people. The most recommended restaurant to taste the local gastronomy is Silva, opened its doors in 1979 and is still a reference, and can be the perfect location for informal farewell dinner for 100 people.
Cultural Vein
Apart from its prosperous times of the flax and wool spinning mills in the 18th century that enriched the county, it has a few more up its sleeves. Starting with the Gorreana and Porto Formoso tea plantations, it’s the only plantation in Europe, safeguarding its costumes and definitely worth a visit! On the other hand, Ribeira Grande has a modern and contemporary vein, as it has the Contemporary Art Center of the island, showcasing temporary exhibitions and a diverse cultural agenda. Finally, you must visit Mulher do Capote to taste a few of their unique fruit liquors, but they produce other alcoholic beverages like brandy.
