Reviews

An easy going and well-equipped hotel for an active break on Funchal’ coastline.

Below manicured lawns at this sparkling hotel three stylish saltwater pools look out over nothing but the Atlantic. Prefer the thrill of a sea swim? You’ve got direct access into the ocean. Rooms are modern, the spa features a Thalassotherapy pool and restaurants serve up seafood, Italian and Madeiran dishes.

Why we love VidaMar Resort Hotel Madeira

Fresh pasta, crackling pizza and sparkling sangria in a casual setting at Mamma Mia.
Oceanfront Sabor A Mar for locally caught black scabbard fish and fresh limpets with a view.
Aquatica Kids’ Club and an exclusive kid’s pool.
Spa massages can be booked on a private balcony towering over the ocean.
