"Thanks to hotels like Santa Bárbara Eco-Beach Resort, the Azores might be on their way. By the laws of natural beauty, ocean waves, and convenient flight paths, this place should be as popular as Hawaii. With better direct flights and an explosion of Instagram influencers, the last half-decade has seen this archipelago at last fulfilling its trendy destiny. In businessman and passionate surfer João Reis they have a vanguard for responsible luxury development. Reis’s Santa Bárbara Eco-Beach Resort and his smaller property, the White Exclusive Villas, prove that tourism and sustainability are compatible here." - Mitchell Friedman

"Santa Barbara Eco-Beach Resort is an example of sustainable tourism in The Azores. It began with a green pasture and was developed into a resort that respects the land with its modernist villas, natural materials, and sustainable practices like rainwater collection and an on-site farm. Guests can enjoy yoga with a view, small kitchenettes, living rooms, balconies, and private terrace jacuzzis in some villas. The resort offers nature-tourism experiences and encourages guests to participate in sustainability workshops." - Mitchell Friedman
