The hotel was absolutely lovely. Upon arrival, the staff welcomed us with a beverage, coupons for the restaurant, and tickets for the natural pools. The property is in a great location (literally right next to the volcanic pools), and they provided tickets for us to enter each day of our stay. The Seaview Restaurant was so good we ate there twice. Both times, I got the seafood pasta because it was damn good. Upon checkout, they sent us off with a card, a pen, and a little jar of apple preserves. If you're going to Porto Moniz, this is the best place you can stay.

The meals were so phenomenal we ate all our dinners there too. Loved the patio overlooking the sea where we could relax during the day with a drink or have our dinner/breakfast al fresco. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I love that it is a small boutique hotel. We had a room with a large veranda, which was great for listening to the waves and relax. It was great that we had access to local juices, beers in the fridge in our room

Pico Ruivo peak

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.

First of all, the garden was extraordinary. Jardim botanico da Madeira was nothing compared to this. The pool was although a little bit cold, but beautiful with the palm trees, and the night light. The snacks at the bar next to the pool were surprisingly good. And you have to try the poncha at the other bar during happy hour. The stuff was extremily attentive and kind. The breakfast was delicious, and the restaurant looked great with the pool next to the tables. We loved to start our days there. Our room was with oceanview. First thing in the mornings was to step out onto the balcony to get a view and taste of the ocean and the garden, and to listen to the parrot chirping. The interior design was cosy and really nice. The only thing wich came to our minds was the absence of a cool, signature scent at the hotel lobby. There are pharmacy and shops, plenty of bars and restaurants in walk distance - Il Basilico is the very best -, but if you'd like to get in to the center, I would recommend car or bus.

We had a fantastic stay at this all-inclusive hotel. The rooms were spacious and cleaned thoroughly every day. There was a wide variety of food available, and everything we tried was delicious. The food service staff were always friendly and helpful, always greeting us with a smile. Our daughter especially enjoyed the mini disco and the bouncy castle – a big hit for the kids! Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I will definitely be coming back.

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.
