Locally-sourced food

Whether you want to dine onsite for convenience or hit a different restaurant every night, this hotel’s choice of three board types lets you decide. Bed and Breakfast, Half Board and Full Board options are all available here. 

Lido Restaurant: Showcasing the island’s local dishes using the finest produce with some international options thrown in for good measure, this restaurant feeds guests around the clock, with its breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Come dinner, an a la carte option is available, while afternoon tea is served from 3pm until 5pm when you need to take care of those sweet cravings. 

Pool bar: When you’re not enjoying a dip, you’ll no doubt be perched at the pool bar whether you need a soft drink to cool you down, a local beer for that alcohol fix or you’re feeling peckish with sandwiches and salads served daily. 

360 Rooftop Bar: With 360-degree views of the Atlantic and a raised position on the hotel’s rooftop, there’s no better place to watch those last rays of sunlight hitting the lapping waves. Also, with a long list of cocktails on offer, your favourite tipple is bound to be on the menu.

Lounge bar: The clue is in the title – this bar was made for lounging. Escape the heat during the day or head here for a nightcap with its 11am to 11pm opening hours.

*Please note – prior reservations for afternoon tea are required. 

From daily workouts to spa days

Living up to its adults only status, everything in this hotel is centred around grown-ups. The rounded pool area is a fantastic suntrap, a great way to take advantage of the subtropical climate Madeira is celebrated for. There are ample loungers encouraging tanning sessions too, and there’s no distractions so relaxation is guaranteed. 

As much as you could easily spend all of your time kicking back in the sun, this swanky property also comes with a spa and gym. The small fitness centre has sufficient equipment for a good workout with exercise balls and free weights sitting beside a treadmill and cross trainer. It also comes with full length windows, so you can enjoy a pool view as you burn off some calories. If a trip to the spa is more your holiday style, enjoy a Turkish bath, massage and a trip to the sauna, all waiting to leave you feeling completely pampered.

A location to shout about

With a prime spot, just minutes away from Funchal’s Lido area as well as being close to one of the biggest shopping centres in Madeira, you won’t be short of things to do when you decide to leave your hotel. Of course, you can’t come to Funchal without heading into the centre. Just a short bus ride away, getting there couldn’t be easier.

Once there, you won’t know what to do first. Its botanical gardens are worth ticking off as is its farmers market and 15th century cathedral. Outdoorsy types, on the other hand, will love its Levada walkways a unique hiking experience ideal for scenic treks.
