Nestled on an upscale gated resort, complete with three shared swimming pools, a gym, a games room, and access to Praia Formosa, this home is a gem. But the luxurious location and amenities aren’t even the best thing about this beguiling apartment. It’s the 480 sqft terrace that takes the cake. With marvellous views across the Atlantic Ocean, it’s truly special. Waking up is a lot less of a struggle when you know you’re going to be met with the sparkling sea view. Spend lazy mornings reading in the hanging egg chair, chatting on the boho-chic cushion sofa, and tucking into breakfast around the outdoor table. You could even roll out your yoga mat for a satisfying stretch, inspired by the zen of the flourishing plants. And at dusk, the views are unforgettable – nothing beats watching the fiery sun dip into the sea, glass of local wine in hand. The terrace is undoubtedly the showstopper of this home, but the interior is a strong contender. It’s been thoughtfully decorated to exude elegance and luxury while maintaining warmth. The homeliness is thanks in part to the plush sofa, tempting you to settle in for an afternoon nap. And for those cooler evenings, the chic mid-century dining is the perfect place for group dinners, with the funky low-hanging light fixture casting a warm glow. The apartment is gorgeous, but you’ll want to make use of your shared swimming pools. The infinity pool is especially beautiful, take dips in the glassy water to cool off from the mid-day Mediterranean sun. There are plenty of restaurants around in Estrada Monumental, but if you want to explore more of the city, hop in a car and you’ll be in the mix of Funchal’s city centre and its cultural landmarks, museums, and wine bars in just seven minutes.

About Madeira
It might always be sunny in Philadelphia, but it’s forever spring in the archipelago of Madeira. Made up of three main islands (Madeira, Porto Santo and Desertas), this geographical marvel flung out in the Atlantic is regularly voted Europe’s best island escape. And with its deliciously temperate climate year-round, extraordinary tropical flora and fauna, dramatic forested mountains and hilltop villages, it’s easy to see why. Start by exploring Madeira’s capital...
