After a day walking the levadas or exploring Funchal, sink into a lounger by the pool or unwind in the spa’s indoor infinity pool and whirlpool.

Map & location


Funchal, Madeira, Portugal

Enotel Magnolia sits in Funchal’s attractive hotel district, slightly elevated above the coastline for grand ocean and garden views. A short walk takes you to a handy cluster of shops, cafés and local restaurants, while the famous Lido promenade is within easy reach for coastal strolls and natural sea pools.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Step outside to a peaceful sun terrace with well-kept gardens framing the main freshwater pool. There are plenty of sunbeds and parasols for laid-back afternoons with a book, plus complimentary pool towels to save packing space.

When the weather is cooler – or you simply fancy a spa-style swim – head indoors to the heated infinity pool with whirlpool in the wellness area. The coast here is mostly rocky with Lido-style bathing complexes rather than classic sandy beaches, but the sea is easily accessed via the nearby Lido and coastal promenade.
