Dwell Azores is a coworking and coliving space located on a cliff with direct Atlantic Ocean views in Fenais da Luz, São Miguel Island. The space offers private rooms and loft spaces for up to 12 guests, combining accommodation with a creative coworking environment. Dwell provides a small but vibrant community where remote workers can stay connected while being productive, with weekly meetings and various activities organized by both hosts and guests.
Ania and Charles, the owners of Dwell, visited São Miguel twice before making a spontaneous decision to move to the Azores and start a business together in 2019. They took the leap and bought an old ruin that they renovated themselves, creating Dwell Coworking & Coliving. With a shared love for travel and community, they envisioned a place where individuals from all walks of life could come together, become friends, and create meaningful connections.
Dwell operates on the principle that guests ARE the community. The space provides opportunities for remote workers to stay connected while being productive, addressing the common issue of missing out on social activities around the workplace.
The community approach centers around weekly Monday meetings where guests contribute and suggest activities that interest them. Activities are often created by guests for guests, fostering a collaborative environment where residents take ownership of their shared experience.
Dwell emphasizes being part of a cool, laid back community of great people, with the philosophy that when individuals from all walks of life come together, they can become friends and create meaningful connections. The space serves as a platform for people to interact and grow with the digital nomad community in the Azores.
Dwell is perched on a cliff with direct views of the Atlantic Ocean in the small village of Fenais da Luz, on São Miguel Island. The setting is dramatic and peaceful — guests frequently describe the ocean views from the terrace and coworking space as breathtaking. The property sits on the official coastal trail, with nature and solitude accessible just a 5-minute walk away.
Fenais da Luz is a quiet, authentic Azorean village located about 15 minutes from Ponta Delgada, the island's main city. The village is sparse in amenities — there is a small mini-market for basics, and a gym in the neighbouring village — but this contributes to its tranquil, off-the-beaten-path character. Reviewers note that the location feels "in the middle of the island, close enough to all the attractions."
One thing to be aware of: the village hosts a local festival in August or September, during which evening noise levels can increase for a few days — a lively cultural experience, but worth keeping in mind when planning your stay.
