Sandwiched between the Paul da Serra plateau, the ancient laurel forests of Madeira Natural Park, and the majestic North Atlantic, this spectacular Arco da Calheta offers a front-row seat to Madeira's stunning natural beauty. While away, your days curled up with a good book in the hammock, gently swaying in the breeze, soak up some sun on a poolside lounger and take in the endless sea views from your inviting infinity pool. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors offer seamless access to two king-sized bedrooms and a chic open-plan living area that combines modern tech with a hint of mid-century style. When you're not making the most of the glorious weather, sink into leather beanbag chairs, stretch out on the corner sofa in front of the TV, or enjoy a contemplative moment in the privacy of your bedroom. Away from your idyllic surroundings, Praia da Calheta – one of the island's few sandy beaches – is just a short drive away. For the active among your party, there are plenty of challenging levada walks along well-maintained paths. The nearby Vereda do Fanal is particularly beautiful, with open panoramic views, verdant vegetation and challenging terrain.
