Tranquility by the waterfront

Set just footsteps away from the Atlantic Ocean and the promenade, this adult only hotel is in the heart of Funchal. Gaze out over the exclusive views over the harbour right from the hotel and walk along the promenade whenever as the hotel has direct access to the waterfront. With the perfect mix of culture and pleasure, you’ll be right next to the Old Town and its many museums.

The hotel itself is set in a subtropical paradise with an exquisite variety of botanical flowers and plants. In addition to the outdoor and indoor pool, find whirlpools nestled in sanctuaries of tranquility either on the rooftop, in the gardens or inside. There’s nothing like getting in the holiday vibe by chilling out in a hot tub while looking out over stunning views and basking in the sunshine. Indulge yourself in pure relaxation with a luxurious treatment from the hotel’s spa centre, which features a sauna and two treatment rooms where you can enjoy a soothing massage.

Find out more about Funchal

Madeira’s capital city spills down the hillside in a sea of terracotta rooftops, fronted by the Atlantic Ocean below. A popular destination for cruise liners, most passengers head up from the port and along the seafront promenade, which ticks off open-air cafes and bars, and comes with a string of street performers and market sellers. It’s also where you’ll find a statue and museum dedicated to Cristiano Ronaldo, the star footballer native to the island. In the town itself,
