Melia Madeira Mare

This spacious and contemporary hotel is set right at the heart of the Lido area. It has spectacular panoramic views across the ocean and a range of impressive facilities including an excellent spa.

After a generous breakfast, wander down to the small pebble beach for a dip in the ocean or find a spot by the lagoon-style pool with underwater sun beds and fabulous views. For a relaxed lunch, enjoy pizza and fresh salads at the pool bar while you plan your afternoon. Unwind in one of the delightful cabanas on the upper level for some welcome shade, or spend some time in the spa. There are two great international dining options here – buffet dishes at Mare Nostrum, with a live cooking station, or à la carte cuisine at Il Massimo. After dinner, head up to the terrace for an evening of cocktails and conversation.

The rooms are comfortable and modern. Standard Side Sea View Rooms have a balcony and there’s the option to upgrade to a Standard Front Sea View Room for full sea views. For more space and wonderful ocean views, book a Premium Sea View Suite with a separate living room and sofa bed.
