Fabulous hotel 10 mins from the port. Large hotel with large rooms/bathrooms and great sea views. Check in was a breeze, extremely polite and helpful reception staff, very happy to share their knowledge and experiences. They have a great rooftop bar by the pool (too cold to swim when I was here), but I did go to the rooftop bar several times. Staff was amazing, made great drinks (try the Poncha!) and always made me feel welcome. Breakfast was phenomenal, huge breakfast room with hot, cold, veggies, local fruits. Competent and polite staff...always very clean, delicious!! Highly recommend this hotel!! 10 stars!

On arrival, staff took our luggage and gave us a keycard to access the private parking. Our bags were then taken to our rooms after checking in. The view from our room was amazing, however it does not compare to view from the rooftop bar! Breakfast was amazing and the staff were exceptional. Overall 10/10 stay.

First of all - the amazing view from the balcony. Simply breathtaking. We didn't even switch on the tv while staying there for 3 days, we just stared at the waves... The room was spacious and super clean, nicely decorated. The food!!!!! We got halfboard option and it was the best decision. Both restaurants were amazing, the dinner for me was a day ending adventure of itself every day.

Navigator is definitely the best hotel in Porto Santo! The staff are incredibly helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable. The rooms are spacious and very clean, and the whole place has such a peaceful vibe — perfect for total relaxation. In the future, I’d suggest making it adults-only, as the only downside was the noise from children in the dining area. The hotel has great potential. We noticed it opened before being completely finished, with a few details still missing, but I’m sure they’ll continue improving and adding the final touches.

Madeira Archipelago Highlights

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.

My stay at Pestana CR7 Funchal was an incredible experience from start to finish. The hotel has a vibrant, modern vibe with stylish interiors and a sporty touch that reflects Cristiano Ronaldo’s personality—perfect for fans and non-fans alike. The location is fantastic—right on the marina with beautiful views, close to Funchal’s old town and key attractions. The room was clean, cozy, and well-designed, with great amenities and a super comfortable bed. Breakfast was one of the highlights—fresh, varied, and served with a smile. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly, professional, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The rooftop area was also a gem—great for relaxing or grabbing a drink after a day of exploring. Whether you’re visiting Madeira for adventure or relaxation, Pestana CR7 offers a perfect blend of comfort, location, and unique flair. I’d definitely return!

Machico resort is not for the night clubbing holiday maker, It was however for us a slow paced setting with a good selection of restaurants and supermarkets with walking routes for those who wish. The harbour offered boat trips, whale watching and surf lessons, the latter was enjoyed from the safety of a dry vantage point. Local bus into Funchal for 2-60 euro single was 50 mins away which opens up further opportunities for excursions and sight seeing like the red or yellow hop on hop off bus tours which operate from the promenade where the ticket is valid for 24 hours allowing to to spend time where the mood takes. Weather forecasting in resort will not take into account the drizzle from the mountains with can add a cooling break from the sunshine and occasional rain. Enjoy.

Santana is a perfect location to explore the north coast. Not far away from airport and capital, but still on the north. Two hiking starting points are nearby: Queimadas and Achada do Teixeira. Santana also has an only large supermarket on the whole north coast, so you can buy delicious food right there. No such option in Porto Moniz or Seixal.

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.
