Adults-only clifftop getaway
In a dreamy, clifftop location overlooking the Garajau Underwater Nature Reserve – and the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean beyond – adults-only Sentido Galomar gets top marks for setting. And its perch above the nature reserve feels rather apt, as this place has got major sustainability chops. From sea cleaning activities in the reserve and a real focus on local product to more sustainable décor, facilities, and packaging choices, this place’s commitment to going green is clear.
And they’ve made it easy to be as involved – or not – as you like. If you’re keen to join in the eco fun, why not tag along on an outdoor guided jog where you can learn about local flora and fauna protection? If you’d rather while away an afternoon in the sunshine on the other hand, make a beeline for the seawater pool and plonk yourself on a sun lounger – pure bliss.
The things to do don’t end there, either. Water babies can head down the cliff to the beach, where swimming and stand-up paddle boarding await, while zen bodies can soothe mind, body, and soul with a yoga session in the garden. If it’s a spot of proper pampering you need, whisk yourself off to the spa, where an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, steam bath, and ocean-view saunas are at your disposal. There’s a well-stocked gym, too.
With all that activity, you’ll no doubt have worked up quite the appetite. Generous buffets are laid out in the main restaurant for breakfast and dinner, with a mix of local and international cuisine. Then there’s an à la carte spot that deals in Madeiran eats, complete with a sweeping sea view. A pair of swish bars are the cherry on top, with tempting menus of light bites and cocktails, served overlooking the ocean.
