The Velas Natural Pool is located within the Balneário area, right in the heart of Velas village. Its seafront position gives it a direct connection with the coastal landscape. From this point, it is possible to enjoy wide views over the ocean, which provides a serene atmosphere and a unique perspective on the island's natural setting.
This bathing spot, now appreciated for its natural beauty, holds an interesting connection with the past. The proximity of an old convent in the village suggests that, in former times, this natural formation served as a bathing place for friars. This historical memory lends a certain charm to the site, blending the simplicity of nature with a fragment of monastic life from bygone days.
The pool is a unique geological formation, shaped by the force of the sea and the passage of time. The surrounding rocks create a natural barrier, resulting in a space of calm and clear waters. The constant renewal of seawater ensures a calm and naturally refreshing environment, making it a place where nature presents itself in an inviting and accessible way.
