Waka Sun Rise PICO AZORES

Waka Sun Rise PICO AZORES Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Waka Sun Rise PICO AZORES, honestly, the name says it all — this four-star property in São Roque do Pico really does capture those incredible Atlantic sunrises. The building sits perfectly positioned on Rua De Cima, and you immediately understand why recent guests rated the location a solid 9.2. There’s something about the way it’s tucked into the landscape that feels both secluded and accessible, if that makes sense.

Location & Island Life

You know what struck me most about staying here? The Azores have this raw, volcanic beauty that’s completely different from mainland Portugal, and this place lets you soak it all in. São Roque do Pico isn’t some bustling resort town — it’s authentic island life where you can actually hear the ocean and feel connected to the landscape. The free private parking might seem like a small detail, but when you’re exploring Pico Island’s dramatic coastlines and volcanic trails, having a secure spot for your rental car actually matters quite a bit.

The Accommodation Experience

My room had this understated comfort that I really appreciated — nothing flashy, but everything you need for a proper island getaway. The windows frame views that change throughout the day, from morning mist rolling off the Atlantic to those famous sunrises that give the place its name. I mean, waking up to that kind of scenery never gets old, even after several days. The space feels thoughtfully designed for couples especially, which explains why so many pairs rate this spot highly for romantic trips.

Island Exploration Base

What I loved about this location is how it serves as your launching point for real Azorean adventures. Pico Island’s volcanic landscape is right there — you can hike up to crater lakes, explore lava tube caves, or just wander the traditional stone-walled vineyards that UNESCO recognized as a World Heritage site. After a day of exploring those black volcanic beaches or whale watching (the Azores are incredible for that), coming back to Waka Sun Rise feels like returning to your own peaceful retreat. The island’s natural wonders are truly unforgettable.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.0 rating really reflects what this place does well — it’s not trying to be a flashy resort, but rather a genuine base for experiencing the Azores as they actually are. Couples consistently praise it because there’s something inherently romantic about being on a volcanic island in the middle of the Atlantic, watching sunrises that seem to stretch forever. The combination of that top-rated location, the authentic island setting, and the peaceful atmosphere creates exactly what you want when you’re seeking a nature-focused getaway that still offers proper comfort and genuine hospitality.
