Directions

Escape to a stunning set of natural swimming pools carved from volcanic rock, right on the sunny south coast. For a small entrance fee, you can spend the day swimming in the crystal-clear Atlantic waters that naturally fill these unique formations. It’s a more intimate and equally beautiful alternative to the more famous pools on the island, offering breathtaking views of the sea cliffs. After a swim, you can relax on the sunbathing platforms. To reach the pools, you'll take a short walk down a flight of stairs from the main promenade.
