For Jamie Miles, editorial assistant at More magazine, the island of Flores, in the Azores, is one the world’s 18 most “exotic destinations for a sexy couple’s getaway.”

In broad strokes, Flores is described as “the western-most island in the Azores archipelago off the coast of Portugal. The island gets its name from the wild flowers (flores) that dot its landscape.”

Once there, those looking for love and romance will “get away from it all […] Sail the Atlantic, tour the quaint villages, or hike to the island’s seven natural inland lakes and numerous waterfalls.”

One of the nine islands of the Azores, Flores (area 143 km2/population about 4,000) is best recognized for its abundance of flowers.

Unspoiled and pristine, the island was chosen, in 2009, as one of several areas to be included on UNESCO’s list of World Network of Biosphere Reserves at the Man and the Biosphere Programme.
