Situated in the heart of the city, this stylish studio apartment really packs a punch. As soon as you step inside and set your suitcases down, your eyes will be drawn to the stunning sea views visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows. With walls of glass wrapping around the home and the sunlight bouncing off the water outside, this home is bathed in natural light. When you wake in the morning, roll out of bed, pour yourself a coffee and settle down on the sofa to drink in the vista as you plan how to spend your day. If you fancy a swim before heading out to explore, the shared pool offers the perfect respite from the Portuguese sun, or you could choose to soak up the rays beside it, holiday read in hand. 

Locally, you have a plethora of restaurants, bars and shops to enjoy or if you fancy a stroll in the sun, there’s a beautiful promenade that will take you to Funchal Marina and the CR7 museum, for those footy fans amongst you.

Up above the town of Ponta do Sol on Madeira’s south coast, this sugar-cube style apartment embraces traditional architecture on the outside and minimalist modernity inside. The view of Ponta do Sol – a series of orange-roofed buildings tumbling down the hillside to the deep blue sea – is framed by tropical plants, and settling into the beanbag-like chairs on the private terrace is the perfect spot to take it all in. A sparkling rectangle of infinity pool is shared with one other apartment, along with the hillside hot tub. Inside, the walls are kept pristine white without a hint of clutter, and the light-wood kitchen is brightened by sunlight streaming in through a wall of glass. It’s a six-minute walk into the centre of Ponta do Sol where there’s a handful of cafés, bars and restaurants and a local grocery shop. The larger town of Ribeira Brava is a 10-minute drive away. 

Set On The Sea

Lounge by the communal infinity pool and relax in the year-round heat of Madeira as you gaze over the inky blue Atlantic Ocean when you stay at this modern studio in the heart of Funchal.

You can also admire the fantastic sea vistas from this apartment's sofa and bed – we found the seascape here mesmerising. Prepare a prego sandwich in the kitchen for lunch and live like a local here.

Set on a clifftop, there's a small beach next to the apartment's building, while there's a bathing complex just two minutes away too. Or sample the restaurants, bars, and shops of the Old Town nearby, and then have a stroll around the beautiful Marina of Funchal. Other attractions here include the Madeira Botanical Garden (a few kilometres away), which has an impressive variety of exotic flowers and plants.

If you long for a quiet retreat in a quaint cottage by the sea, your search is over – this home will tick every one of your holiday boxes and more. Nestled in São Jorge on the northern coast of Madeira, this is seclusion at its finest. Mere metres away from the beach, your home looks out over the Atlantic with a mountainous backdrop. 

Step inside, and the open-plan space ushers natural light in from every angle. Small in size but still packing a significant punch, you’ll find everything you need for a memorable stay. We love the terrace area  – how could you ever tire of that view? Many happy hours will be spent here, tucked up on the sofa, the barbecue sizzling away in the background and the smell of the food mixing with the unmistakable scent of the ocean that wraps itself around you. As you listen to the sound of the waves lapping against the shore, pour yourself a glass of wine and simply enjoy the moment with your loved ones. They say time flies when you’re having fun – before you know it, the sun will have dropped below the ocean and a blanket of stars will have opened out above you. Weary from the fresh sea air and the pure bliss of a day doing nothing, you can head to bed with wonderful memories and the promise of more to come.

Rooftop Terrace

With a location dubbed 'the sunniest place in Madeira', it's little wonder this home is committed to letting so much of the outside in. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors flood the modern villa with light and, more importantly, give you front-row seats to breathtaking views over the ocean and hillside. The interiors are sharp and clean, with white-washed walls, cream colours and the occasional pop of teal. The large living space has enough room for your whole group, from dining at the glass table to chilling out on one of the luxury beanbags. Even the games room feels futuristic thanks to a white, curved pool table and matching foosball table. No matter how much you love the modernity of this spot, most of your time will invariably be spent soaking up the vista, whether from the infinity pool or one of the loungers. While restaurants and bars are a drive away, the back garden has its own bar and barbecue area for you to practise your grilling and mixology skills. 

Dragonfly Flutter

Cosy and romantic, this classical cottage is located just a short drive from Funchal, the vibrant capital of Madeira. As such, it's the perfect base to explore sightseeing in the city, swimming and sunbathing at the seaside, and places of natural beauty in the countryside.

As soon as you set eyes on this tiny home, you'll see just how special it is. It's covered in leafy plants and lush flowers, and sits in an elevated spot, so you can enjoy dreamy sea views beyond the flowers. Outside, there's a covered terrace where you can relax with a good book or sip sundowners in the evenings. Inside, you'll find lots of character – from wooden beam ceilings to exposed stonework. It may be small and the kitchen is best suited for light bites, but you can't deny it has oodles of charm.

Beyond the Bougainvillea

Juicer

Ideally located in the sunny Ponta do Sol area of Madeira, this home is the perfect choice if you're a lover of a good view. Here, panoramic sea vistas envelop both the pool deck and the raised terrace, and both spaces feature spots to dine and recline while you admire the sights. Inside, you'll find two separate living areas, both with kitchen and dining areas, giving everyone loads of room to relax. When you're ready to venture out, the quaint seaside village of Madalena do Mar sits just a short drive away.

The Island Bird

Fireplace

We adore this contemporary home due to the unique characteristics sprinkled throughout. Spacious and drenched in sunlight, imagine yourself cooking an all-day breakfast in the kitchen. While looking through the circular window to the amazing view outside, you spot your children having fun by the pool, excited for the day ahead. The breakfast bar is also the perfect spot to chow down. Heading upstairs, you'll find the three bedrooms all have direct access to the balcony, allowing you to breathe in the fresh air and admire the surrounding vista.

In the evening, check out the outdoor kitchen area and cook up a delicious meal on the barbeque. The tantalising smell of food will surely bring your family outdoors in no time. If eating out tickles your fancy, there's a plethora of options nearby, such as a bakery, cafés, and restaurants. The capital of Madeira is also a short drive away, and it has a wonderful botanical garden that includes a handy cable car.

Botanical Days

You can take in balmy blue views from almost anywhere in this apartment – although our favourite spot to gaze out at the never-ending seascape is the main bedroom. What could be more calming than waking up here each morning? After a big stretch staring out at the bobbing waves, pour yourself a cup of coffee and soak it all up amid the fresh air on the balcony.

The modern interiors nod to the natural environment – think neutral hues and tasteful touches of blue. Meanwhile, minimal designs create a laid-back, serene ambience that makes switching off and chilling out all the easier. 

Perched in the Old Town of Funchal, you'll be within close walking distance of an array of bars, restaurants and shopping opportunities. Yet, the apartment's quiet location, somewhat surprisingly, makes you feel as though you're set back from the action. However, stroll just 400 metres down to Almirante Reis Beach for more swoon-worthy landscapes and a serene sunbathing setting. 

Infinity of Blue 

You’ll find this practical yet homely apartment in the heart of Funchal, no more than 400 metres from cafes, bars, restaurants and the La Vie shopping centre. Visit the Sacred Art Museum and the Gothic-style Funchal Cathedral before finding a spot to picnic in the peaceful Santa Catarina Park. If a day at the beach sounds like a good idea, take the short drive to Praia Formosa and stretch out on the sand. 

Back at your abode, an open-plan living space invites you to kick off your shoes and make yourself comfortable. Rustle up something tasty at the fully-equipped kitchenette or fall back onto the sofa with a good book. Outside, there’s a large terrace for barbecues on balmy afternoons and glasses of traditional Poncha come nighttime. And when you’re ready to get some rest, the king-size bed guarantees a restful slumber.

Sun on My Mind

Step-Free Access

Perched high above the ocean, facing west so the sun hits the terrace most hours of the day, this villa’s position is the envy of the island. Huge glass doors slide open to the wrap-around terrace where sun loungers make the most of the daily rays and a neat blue swimming pool waits for its surface to be disturbed during the heat of the day. There’s outdoor dining, with a barbecue ready to grill up fresh fish from the local market. Inside, it’s all on one level and both bedrooms have sliding door access to their own seating on the terrace. Take in the sea view from the cool of the living room where the open-plan layout means the chef of the group can still join in the conversation. If you fancy dining out of an evening, the restaurants and shops of Calheta, or for a day at the beach Jardim do Mar is just a 10-minute drive.

Majestic scenery, steep valleys and picturesque beaches – Ribeira Brava sits like a gateway to the natural beauty of Madeira. And perched on its glistening shoreline, this modernist home welcomes you to experience the magic of coastal living. 

Inside, you’ll find the simple design allows the views to shine. And with ample living space (both inside and out), you’ll find it easy to sit back and soak up the refreshing spirit of the sea. 

Enjoy leisurely days by the pool or make the short drive down to the beach. You’ll also find it’s just a twenty-minute drive from the centre of Funchal – providing the perfect opportunity for sightseeing, seafront strolls and sipping glasses of local wine. 

By sunset, you’ll love retreating to this hilltop home – it’s the perfect setting for golden hour drinks, barbecue meals and stargazing. 

Music of the Sea 

Courtyard

Perched on the hills of Arco Da Calheta, this home perfectly embodies the laid-back ambience of its coastal setting. And with views across the surrounding countryside and toward the sea, this is the perfect location for an idyllic island retreat. 

Set across one floor, every detail of this space has been thoughtfully designed to fill your stay with comfort and ease. From the natural hues and tones to the minimalist styling, there’s a wonderful sense of simplicity here. It’s the kind of space that invites you to slow down and savour the magic of coastal living. 

Step through the doors and you’ll find the terrace sets the tone for a truly rejuvenating stay. From serene mornings lounging by the pool to dreamy sunset drinks and al fresco dining, there’s everything you could need to feel connected to the beauty of this environment. 

Outside, you’ll find a minimarket within walking distance, while the shimmering coastline and beaches of Madeira are only a short drive away. There’s also easy access to the spectacular walking trails through the Rabaçal nature reserve and its majestic waterfalls – less than a thirty-minute drive. 

Villa Azure

Extra Pillows and Blankets

This fabulous Funchal Bay pad, adjacent to the historic Palheiro Gardens make the perfect couple’s retreat. Boasting interiors designed by a well-known Portuguese interior architect, not to mention a beautiful balcony and breath-taking ocean views at every turn, this heavenly home really does have it all. As if it couldn’t get better than that, you’ll also have access to a range of resort facilities including indoor and outdoor pools and a health and fitness centre.

You’ll love waking up to endless Atlantic Ocean views and taking your morning coffee out onto the balcony for more of the same. While away hours reading, reclining or simply gazing out to sea before whipping up a light lunch and dining alfresco around the glass-topped table. At chillier times of year, you’ll relish retreating inside and cosying up on the sofa by the fireplace. 

Alternatively, why not start the day with a little light cardio before lazing on loungers in the sun or taking the plunge in the outdoor pool. If you fancy more of a pamper session get your sweat on in the sauna before luxuriating in the indoor pool or treating yourself to a well-earned massage. Golf-lovers are sure to round up a day spent out on the 18-hole course with a celebratory meal at the on-site club house or the resort’s gourmet restaurant.  


Magical Madeiran Dream

EV Charger

Cue swoon-worthy panoramic views, cocktails on the terrace, and an all-around lavish experience at this waterfront villa inviting guests to enjoy Funchal in a truly luxurious setting. You'll be able to take in the crystalline ocean views from pretty much wherever you are in the home. Still, our favourite spot, without a shadow of a doubt, is the infinity swimming pool (preferably with a cold beverage in hand). Relish in the open air, with the manicured gardens, alfresco dining areas and secluded balcony corners for moments of reflection – all while pinching yourself that this is real. 

Inside, wonderful artwork selections and finishing touches create an atmospheric space dripping in antique Madeiran elegance. The home's central hub extends upwards with two-story ceilings and a large salon – perfect for hosting receptions or social affairs. Meanwhile, marble archways lead out to the wrap-around balcony, which frames the spectacular seascape like a painting on the wall. Each bedroom and bathroom suite provides guests with blissful privacy and the opportunity for moments of solitude when needed. 

Only two minutes from the beach, you'll be within convenient reach of many quality restaurants, bars and shops, alongside the city of Funchal's fabulous cultural hot spots and picturesque harbour. 

By the Crystalline Ocean

If you're looking for a rustic rural retreat in Madeira, evocative of years gone by, then this stone casa between the sea and the mountains in the Santana World Biosphere Reserve fits the bill. The home overlooks the sea and is surrounded by forests – it really is an enchanting setting. Enjoy the ocean and lush landscape vistas from the balcony with a glass of Madeira and truly unwind. Or get the barbecue going and enjoy a feast in the garden.

Inside, exposed stone, old wooden beams, and a farmhouse style prevail – we love the log burner here – perfect for warming up on chillier days.

Next to this home is a restaurant where you can sample local delicacies or take advantage of some wonderful walking trails on your doorstep. The famous Quinta das Rosas, nearby, has different varieties of roses from all over the world – ideal for those with green fingers. Santana, with its colourful houses and white, baroque-style Igreja de Santana church, is twenty minutes by car, while Funchal is a fifty-minute drive away.

Just a ten-minute drive from the centre of this island's beautiful capital city, this stunning home is high on a hillside overlooking the glittering Atlantic. With large spaces for socialising both indoors and out and enough luxurious bedrooms for a big group, it's stylish, comfortable and comes with a wow-factor pool terrace built out over the slope. If you're coming to Madeira for the sea views, it's got some of the best around. Inside, it's a modern home with mainly white and grey tones and anthracite-framed windows and doors. The kitchen is sleek and high-spec, with a huge island breakfast bar, an indoor dining table and sliding glass doors out to a dining terrace with fabulous views. Several of the bedrooms have balconies and there are private outdoor spots for evening stargazing or morning coffees in peace. Dive into the huge pool to wake yourself up each morning or enjoy relaxing sunset swims before dinner. From here, you're just a short drive from the shops and restaurants of the city, but we suspect you'll spend most of your evenings grilling your meals on the barbecue – the views here are just too good to be missed.

Blue Altitude

Hammock

Located in a quiet area on Madeira's western coast, this contemporary villa is your very own slice of Portuguese paradise. Step outside and you'll be greeted by a private pool as blue as the ocean that surrounds it, plus a lush green lawn with bean bags and a swinging egg chair – the perfect spot to sip a cup of coffee and watch a sunrise each morning. If you consider yourself a bit of a sun worshipper, you couldn't be better placed for catching some rays, as this part of the island has the highest sun exposure.

While it we wouldn't mind spending the whole day in the garden, a walk along the Levada Nova footpath that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the area's beautiful landscapes. From waterfalls to farmland, this picturesque hiking trail is a must if you're keen to discover natural, unspoiled beauty. 

When you get home, head down to the lower kitchen (yes, there are two kitchens) to cook dinner on the barbecue. Take your food out to the terrace to enjoy an alfresco feast in the warm evening breeze. Post-dinner, get comfy in the hammock on the balcony and admire the changing sky before a long soak in the Jacuzzi bath. 

Slice of Sunshine

With sparkling sea views stretching out before you, relaxing in this sleek, modern villa is not hard. Floor-to-ceiling windows usher in abundant natural light, making the whole space bright and welcoming. Dressed in white and grey, the home has an air of tranquillity about it, and with stunning vistas outside every window, it paints a perfect picture of Madeira. 

As the Portuguese sun shines down, you’ll soon be tempted outdoors. Lazy days at the villa will be well spent here, soaking up the scenery as you enjoy a swim. For a quiet moment to yourself, snuggle down in the egg chair and get lost in the pages of your holiday read for a while, as the breeze gently rocks you. When you’re keen to get out to explore, a short drive will take you to Calheta and the golden sands of its man-made beach. For those who love to surf, five minutes away by car you’ll find Jardim do Mar and Paul do Mar – if surfing’s not your thing, settle down at one of the cafe bars and treat yourself to a mojito as your loved ones enjoy the water. 

Blue Reflection

Playground

This thoroughly modern villa with sea views and an abundance of natural light is located just a ten-minute drive from the heart of Funchal and the black sand beaches of Praia Formosa. Watch daybreak through the living area’s floor-to-ceiling windows with a coffee in hand before rustling up a tasty breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen. After dining altogether on the terrace, float about in the pool as the little ones make a beeline for the play area.

If you’re in the mood to explore, head over to the Sacred Art Museum of Funchal, Fort of São Tiago or Cabo Girão Skywalk. When you’ve worked up an appetite, check out the traditional restaurants local to your area then whet your whistle with a glass of local Poncha. At dusk, visit the Miradouro da Torre for stunning sunset vistas.

Sun on the Horizon

Indoor Pool

With breathtaking panoramic views of the picturesque fishing village of Câmara de Lobos, this brand-new 2 bedroom apartment offers an unforgettable holiday experience. Immerse yourself in the vibrant local culture and enjoy the famous 'poncha' drink while taking in the stunning surroundings. The apartment boasts a spacious open-plan living area, fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, and a full-length balcony overlooking the bay. Revel in the charm and tranquility of your private escape, complete with air conditioning, rooftop swimming pool, fitness room, and secure parking. Explore the narrow winding streets, indulge in delicious cuisine at local restaurants, and take leisurely walks along the seaside promenade to Funchal. Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, Bayside Bliss provides an idyllic seaside retreat for an unforgettable vacation.

Seaview Hideaway

Gated Community

Hidden away in an exclusive and luxurious condominium in Funchal, Portugal lies this sleek, ground-floor apartment. Enjoy your own balcony surrounded by lush greenery, and go swimming in the communal pool or work on that perfect bronze tan on the sun loungers, surrounded by spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea. Large glass doors ensure the sunlight fills this space throughout the day, so whether you're getting some last-minute work finished on your laptop at the dining table or you're curled up on the sofa with a good book, that holiday feeling isn't going anywhere. You'll have access to your host's app which will give you plenty of useful information about this home, as well as local recommendations you can use to get the most out of your stay.

This home will ensure you easy access to amenities including beaches, gardens, tennis courts and local gyms, as well as necessities like supermarkets and shops. You'll have a whole host of restaurants, bars and cafes at your fingertips, so the hardest decision you'll have to make will be where to go first. Enjoy a romantic stroll on the Promenade as the sun sets, or visit one of the many cultural and historical sites that Funchal has to offer, including the Cathedral of Funchal and the cable cars up to Monte, from where you can meet the friendly locals and enjoy toboggan rides. At the end of the day, watch the sunset from your balcony and enjoy a drink in the warm evening air, and plan your next great day.

Sacred Palm Leaves

Rain Shower

If Atlantic views are at the top of your wishlist, we think this seafront apartment is sure to impress. Sunrise or sunset, the two balconies are the perfect place to bask in the salty air and watch the tide ebb and flow. Enjoy an alfresco breakfast on one, then toast your getaway with a glass of Madeiran wine on the other. 

The light-filled living space is also a big hit with us, especially with the doors open wide and the coastal breeze flowing through. Snuggle up for an afternoon snooze on the sofa before heading into the kitchen to show off your culinary skills. Come dinnertime, gather the whole group around the table and dig into a delicious meal made with the freshest produce and seafood. 

Of course, with the sea on your doorstep, who can blame you if you spend all your time exploring? Head down to the small sandy beach and swim in the ocean waves, grab a bite to eat at the local restaurants or wander along the promenade towards Funchal's thriving city centre. Don't feel like walking? It's also a short drive away – good thing this pad comes with an on-site parking space.

Pineapples on the Promenade

Facing an impressive mountain backdrop, this hillside villa overlooks the charming town of Ribeira Brava. Set back from a black-sanded beach and the cafe-lined promenade, we recommend stopping by the historic Mother Church of São Bento – beloved across the region for its collection of 16th-century paintings. Nearby lies the sun-soaked Ponta do Sol, but you couldn't be in a better place to explore the island, with easy access to the highway.

Surrounded by a wealth of natural beauty, this observatory home lets you enjoy a bird's eye view from the secluded terrace. Just imagine flicking through a local newspaper beneath the shade of an umbrella or admiring sunsets from the comfort of the infinity pool. We think the summer kitchen serves as a great hangout spot, inviting you to sit atop carved barstools and try a glass of Madeira wine. After an all-day adventure, how about firing up the smoky grill and serving your loved ones an alfresco supper?

Edge of Forever

How about spending a vacation in a country house that is very close to the city and all tourist activities? While in the center people live a normal and fast city life, in the high zones, near the mountains, the calm and country atmosphere is a reality. In this small villa composed by three nice properties, you can enjoy all the calm and serenity with a wide view of the Atlantic Ocean and Funchal. This small 'farmhouse' has three stone-walled houses, each named after a tree on our island. The Cedro boasts a bedroom with two single beds, a bathroom with shower, and a fully equipped kitchenette. With its rustic charm and panoramic views, it offers maximum capacity for two people. Located in Santa Maria Maior, Madeira, this enchanting haven is nestled amidst lush gardens and offers tranquility while being just a short drive from restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, and the city center.

Misty Mountain Lodge

Brand new apartment with a modern and minimalist style, featuring two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The property boasts abundant natural light and an airy living room with a comfortable sofa bed and a dining area seamlessly integrated with the fully equipped kitchen. Step out onto the balcony to discover a picturesque pool and be captivated by the breathtaking city view of Funchal. This tranquil haven comfortably accommodates up to five guests. Wi-Fi is available throughout, and private parking is provided. Immerse yourself in the vibrant São Pedro neighborhood, close to historic landmarks, beautiful gardens, shopping centers, supermarkets, and an array of cultural attractions. Experience the best of Madeira Island, from exhilarating adventures to serene nature escapes. Your dream holiday awaits!

Celestial Retreat

Carbon Monoxide Detector

On a lush green hillside sits this stunning modern villa, with views down the cascading slope all the way to the Atlantic. A refurbished and extended old stone cottage, you'll find a luxurious space with huge floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors providing panoramic views. A high-tech kitchen means self-catering won't be a chore, and there's a wine fridge to make sure your glass of fizzy is served at just the right temperature. Slide open the doors to blur the lines between the indoors and out, with meals taken on the terrace. And if you'd rather cook in the open air, that's an option, thanks to the barbecue and outdoor kitchen area. There’s plenty to keep the kids entertained, with a separate games room with table football, TV, and a Playstation 4 games console all ready to go when they’ve had enough time in the sun. A real highlight of the home is the pristine swimming pool, with a range of loungers set around it so you can spend your days basking in the sunshine and enjoying the view of the ocean. If you can tear yourself away then the sandy beach at Calheta, along with a selection of cafes and restaurants, is only a ten-minute drive away.

Atlantic Bound

Stay in the charming seaside town of Canico de Baixo, not too far from Funchal. Enjoy the best of both worlds from your enviable location – lazy days on the pristine beaches, and nights in the bustling capital city. It's not just the location that makes this apartment special. The tiled balcony presents you with an awe-inspiring view of the Atlantic Ocean, stretching far beyond what the eye can see. 

Savour those laidback mornings of reading, coffees, pastries and fresh fruit at your balcony table, with the salty sea breeze hanging in the air. After a day of exploring, be sure to make it home for dusk – nothing beats watching the fiery sun lower into the sea, a glass of Madeiran wine in hand.

Days can be spent lounging on the nearby beaches – Reis Magos beach is just a five-minute drive away – and exploring the old village of terracotta-roofed houses. No trip to Madeira is complete without a hike or two – when you're among such a gorgeous landscape, you'll be itching to see it up close. 

A Drop in the Atlantic

Hidden away on the western coast of the enchanting island of Madeira, this contemporary villa stuns with breathtaking sea views that instantly assure you that you made the right choice. The light-filled living and dining area welcomes you with neutral tones and pops of colour added by contemporary furnishings, which sit seamlessly alongside a 70s bamboo swivel chair that's got 'afternoon siesta spot' written all over it. Sliding glass doors lead straight out onto the stone terrace and tranquil tiered garden – which is where you'll want to be spending most of your time under the Atlantic sun. At the end of a long day of exploring the island – either on four wheels, two legs, or wicker sledge – we can think of nothing better than coming back and cooling off in the plunge pool, firing up the barbecue for an alfresco dinner on the terrace, before soothing your aching muscles in the Jacuzzi as you take in the view, drink in hand. Then, when your eyelids get heavy, the minimalist decor of the bedrooms creates the perfect ambience to clear your mind and enjoy an unbroken night's sleep in the comfortable beds.

Pearl Of The Atlantic

Nestled in hilly Monte, this picture-perfect home is steeped in Madeiran charm. Unwind in the open-plan living area or slide open the glass doors and head onto the deck, where you’ll be able to soak up uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean from the comfort of a poolside sun lounger. You might feel as though you’ve stepped straight into a glossy travel magazine, but it’s not all style over substance here. From the home lift to the outdoor kitchen’s electrically adjustable cover, you’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay, so why not pour yourself a glass of wine and toast your coastal oasis? 

This is the kind of place you’ll be more than happy to linger in, but if you fancy a change of scenery, there’s plenty to keep you busy nearby. Wander down to the local bakery and treat yourself to a fresh pastry or two, then make your way into Funchal’s old town (2.2 kilometres away) to mingle with the locals. Snap a selfie by the city gates, savour a cocktail or two next to Funchal Bay, or simply soak up the atmosphere as you meander the cobbled streets. 

In Camera

Desk / Workplace

We adore the city and ocean views from this stylish apartment in Funchal. There are two balconies to enjoy a glass of Madeira wine on, or have breakfast while taking in the breathtaking vistas. Inside, we particularly love the bedroom with its macrame wall hanging, mustard throw and doors out onto the outdoor space – relax on an Acapulco chair with the first coffee of the day. When you're ready to explore, it's a five-minute drive or a thirty-minute walk to chic Funchal Marina, as well as the Sé Catedral with its stunning Mudéjar ceiling. For dining out, there are an array of eateries just over 200 metres away, or if you want to enjoy some Portuguese pastries – there's a bakery right next to this lovely home.

Tropical Flowers

This is a bright and spacious duplex apartment in a historic building, located close to the city centre and the tourist attractions of Funchal.

Sleek and elegant, this Funchal apartment is an ideal base for a small family or two couples on a Madeira stay. We love the private balcony with sea views – just the spot to start the day, coffee and pastel de nata in hand. Suitably nourished, you’ll find plenty to occupy your time in the local area. With shops, cafes, restaurants and bars a stone’s throw away, authentic Portuguese food is always on the menu. Fancy cooling off in the heat? Formosa Beach and the Lido promenade and pools are within easy reach.
