Turim has incredibly comfortable rooms, nice beds, nice balconies, a wonderful pool and rooftop bay (Marco is the best!) and a huge and delicious breakfast. We loved Funchal and this hotel was a perfect home base for Madeira.

Although there were on-going renovations, we still enjoyed our stay. We had a magnificent room overlooking Atlantic Oceans and its natural pools. The bed was comfortable and we loved the big pillows. We recommend to book with breakfast. It is worth it and perfect to fill the stomach before heading for a road trip.

Amazing room, with a view to die for. The ocean was right under our balcony, and the room we were allocated allowed us to watch both the sunrise AND the sunset - never happened to me before! Just like other places I've stayed at in Portugal, half of the staff was lovely and the other half gave the impression they would rather be spending their time elsewhere. Strange...

The hotel was really great. It reopened the 21th of July 2025 and we were the first guest. The food was delicious. - Buffet for breakfast and a la carte menu for lunch and dinner. Really good coffee and nice cocktails also. It was fresh and top quality even ig i am very picky😅 The pools were gorgeous, sunbeds are also included. There was also a towel trunk to give you as many fresh towel as you want. The hotel is not crowed and childfriendly. The staff was so nice and helpful. After our stay i went to the Pestana for 2 days and the comparison was hard. I must say our stay with Navigator was much better than the Pestana next door and cheaper.

FAQs about hotels in Madeira Archipelago

The Island of Eternal Spring

With lush landscapes, brightly coloured flowers and a mild, year-round climate, it’s easy to see why Madeira is called the ‘Island of Eternal Spring’. Its interior is mountainous, so most resorts are coastal, many at the foot of steep cliffs.

One such resort is Paul do Mar, a fishing village known for whale watching and surfing, as is Jardim do Mar, on a plateau just east. Nearby Calheta has 2 white sand beaches protected by breakwaters.

The main resort is the capital Funchal. Cascading down slopes, it has the lion’s share of 5-star hotels in Madeira on Booking.com. A cable car ascending into the hills offers fantastic views towards the harbour where cruise liners and ferries from neighbouring Porto Santo island are berthed.

East, Caniço’s sandy beach is nestled between rocky cliffs, while Santa Cruz is the nearest resort to Madeira Airport. Machico is the 2nd biggest city and has the best nightlife outside Funchal, but the best Madeira hotels for families are in quieter resorts such as Porto da Cruz in the north.

Santana is home to the triangular-shaped, thatched houses typical of the island, and twisting mountain roads lead to São Vicente, an attractive hill town with red-roofed houses. By the north-western tip is the village of Porto Moniz whose offshore rocks shelter natural rock pools.

The quality of suites are more like a 4* hotel, a very nice large pool, plentiful breakfast and tasty coffee. The ladies in reception are very friendly, helpful and polite, and offered me to check out a few hours later. It was low season, so I got a really good deal. Make sure to watch the sunrise from the beach ( 3 minutes walk from the garden gate), people from surrounding hotels also come out in the mornings and take a dip in the water.

A very nice city, with lots of things to see and do. Beautiful gardens, interesting museums, a fantastic market, all kinds of restaurants and friendly people. Some of the old traditional shops are real marvels. Transport by bus or taxi is easy enough but walking around the old town is the best way to discover it. An excursion to Monte and its tropical garden and from there to the botanical garden by cable car is a real must.

Machico isn’t just a town—it’s the place that makes you fall in love with Madeira instantly. Machico is my favourite town in Madeira. Surrounded by mountains, it offers breathtaking views, a beautiful beach, a long seaside promenade, and a deep sense of history. Quiet and peaceful, yet rich in scenery, Machico is perfect for those who love incredible landscapes, relaxing beach walks, and scenic hiking routes. This place captured my heart from the very first sight—and I truly love this town.

Some good hiking nearby.

Some good hiking nearby. It is of course pretty steep even on the roads. We visited for the swimming but, it being December and just after a storm, the pools were closed. Our stay was for 5 days and we kept busy but the place is quiet in December. The amount of car parking implies the place is busy with day trippers when the weather is warmer - and the pools are open.

The town has a great location. It is about 30 minutes from the capital, and the main attractions in the north of the island are also nearby. Seixal beach is only a 15-minute drive, as well as the famous São Cristóvão viewpoint. The valley itself offers incredible views.

Ponta do Sol is a gem for exploring Madeira's levadas, offering both relaxation and adventure. The scenic Levada do Moinho/Nova is located in Ponta do Sol itself, and varied trails nearby cater to all fitness levels, from challenging Rabaçal hikes to leisurely Levada dos Cedros strolls. Ponta do Sol's tranquil atmosphere, lovely beach, restaurants, and relaxed pace allow for post-hike relaxation. The sunny climate enhances levada walks, and the town provides ample hotels, amenities, and tour operators. For a Madeira levada trip, Ponta do Sol's location, trails, atmosphere, and climate make it an ideal base.
