Poça da Dona Beija is the most frequented and most well-known Hot Spring in The Azores, located in the Island of São Miguel, in the civil parish of Furnas.

It all started in a single well, which was used and frequented by people. Since it was not a space managed by any entity, the access was free.

The space was eventually closed to the public in the year 2007 as the conditions of safety and public health were not guaranteed. It was then in the year 2010 that, after works of intervention in the space and through a public tender, the management of this space was attributed to the company "Criações Naturais LDA."

Since then, it has undergone renovations once more in 2015.

Nowadays it contains 5 different hot thermal pools with different temperatures, all the way from warm to uncomfortably warm, denominated: Ribeira, Serena, Mística, Convívio Thermae and Meditação.
