Very Spacious room with both a bathtub and a shower, balcony was also huge with a comfy sofa and a sitting area. The staff was professional and service-minded, especially our favourite bartender João. We've spent long evenings just sitting at the Navigante bar having a conversation with him. Very attentive and helpful, a true professional! The drinks were excellent, way better than what they usually are at all-inclusive hotels. Also thanks to the reception staff, we got to check-in earlier and spent the time waiting for our room to be ready at the hotel premises enjoying the all-inclusive benefits. Upon the checkout, we also got to keep our room for two extra hours while we were waiting for our pick-up. The hotel itself is under renovation so I imagine it will be even bigger and fresher when it's done.

Madeira Archipelago highlights

Hiking the Levadas

This network of irrigation channels serves as a walking path for charming-to-challenging hikes through forested countryside studded with waterfalls and lagoons.

Curral das Freiras

Tucked in a hidden valley, this charming village promises spectacular views of the surrounding mountainside and treats made with local chestnuts.

Pico Ruivo peak

Climb to the top of Madeira’s highest peak for stunning scenery and panoramic vistas over the entire island.

Cape Girão lookout point

Cape Girão is home to Europe’s highest cliff skywalk, which includes a thrilling lookout point with a glass-floored platform.

Laurisilva Forest

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 Saccharum is a big hotel, with many rooms, yet you'll feel extremely well taken care of. The rooms are beautiful and large, you'll find many pools, including a wonderful rooftop one with many places to sit, read, and relax. There are many bars and restaurants. We were warmly welcomed by the staff, that went the extra mile because it was my wife's birthday. We were offered a bottle of champagne in the room, there were rose petals on the bed, and we had a nice surprise dessert at the end of our meal in the Alambique restaurant. We were given the opportunity to enjoy the hotel amenities after we had checked out for our last day, which was really enjoyable. Everything was perfect from the breakfast to the cocktails in the rooftop bar. Many thanks to all the staff that we had the opportunity to be in contact with. I can only recommend for you to stay at least a few days here. Oh there's an artificial sand beach near the hotel, but I'm not sure you'll want to leave the Saccharum during your stay : )

Funchal is a small city with Old Town character and marina to enjoy. The best benefits of Madeira are the hiking trails all over the country. There are a lot of organisations based in Funchal where visitors can sign up to hikes and be picked up and returned to their property at the end of them. This is great for those who are not driving. Funchal also has other sights worth visiting such as Monte Palace and the Botanical gardens, both of which may be accessed by cable car or bus. I would highly recommend both of these attractions. I also visited the Madeira Story centre museum which although old fashioned, provides a chronological history of Madeira for those who are interested. The Old Town provides a wide range of good restaurants for tourists to choose from.

Machico is a very pleasant place to stay in Madeira. It’s relatively quiet compared to Funchal, but it is nice and peaceful. It has one of the best sandy beaches on the island, it has a nice town centre with plenty of bars restaurants and cafes. For anyone who likes walking, there are many hiking trails to discover close by.

The volcanic pools were closed due to high waves, We learnt at the reception that the best time to enjoy using them is May-October. Aquarium is fine but rather small. We've tried Rooftop Restaurant - great food but not the cheapest in the world. The Beerhouse is a great place in good weather. With rain you are forced to stay inside. Porto Moniz is small with the volcanic pools its main attraction.

Calhetta itself is small and the main part of it centres around the harbour. As you might expect this means that all the major activities are boat-based such as whale and dolphin watching, sailing, fishing, excursions etc. but there are also lots of restaurants and bars overlooking the harbour where you can get a great meal - especially if you like fish - or just relax for the evening and watch the sunset.

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.
