The Arnel Lighthouse, located at the edge of Arnel, in the extreme northeast of the island of São Miguel, came into operation in November of 1876, being the first lighthouse established in the Autonomous Region of the Azores.
It was built at the end of the 19th century in a context of modernization of the municipality, by the great worker of the Northeast, António Alves de Oliveira. The Arnel Lighthouse has undergone several improvements and adaptations over the years, which have allowed it to reach the present day while maintaining its functions and constituting a landmark in the heritage of the Northeast municipality.

This was our second visit to the hotel (we were here last year) and we were equally delighted with everything! The view from the property is perfect. The facilities are excellent, and breakfast is very good indeed. It’s a great retreat from a hectic world; in a lesser-known corner of this magical island. Perfect!"
