ESG Values Blended in Unforgettable Program

ESG Values Blended in Unforgettable Program

Imagine a 3-day incentive program where performance meets purpose for 28 guests. Located on the north coast of São Miguel, Santa Barbara Eco-Beach Resort combines premium comfort with sustainability, creating a three-day experience that rewards, inspires, and aligns with corporate ESG values.
From the moment guests arrive, they’re immersed in an environment designed with low-impact architecture, energy-efficient systems, and locally sourced materials.

Day one begins with a guided walk along Santa Bárbara Beach, showcasing protected ecosystems, followed by optional surfing or beach activities. A farm-to-table welcome dinner highlights seasonal ingredients from the resort’s organic gardens and local producers.

Day two takes the group inland to Sete Cidades, where volcanic landscapes meet conservation efforts. Lunch in a local village supports small businesses, while the afternoon visit to Ponta da Ferraria, a natural ocean hot spring heated by geothermal energy demonstrates sustainable use of natural resources.

The final day celebrates São Miguel’s heritage and renewable energy practices with a visit to Furnas Valley and a traditional Cozido das Furnas, slow-cooked underground using geothermal heat. Time in thermal pools and botanical gardens emphasizes wellness, biodiversity, and reflection before a farewell at Santa Bárbara Beach.

This program offers more than a reward, it’s a conscious travel experience that strengthens team bonds, supports local communities, and reinforces your company’s ESG commitments, all within the breathtaking beauty of the Azores.
