Map & location


Funchal, Madeira, Portugal

Enotel Lido Resort sits right on Funchal’s popular Lido seafront, a coastal promenade lined with cafés, lido bathing complexes and Atlantic viewpoints.

The surrounding area is one of Funchal’s most convenient districts, with supermarkets, bars and local eateries just a short stroll away, while Praia Formosa’s black-sand-and-pebble beach is a quick bus or taxi ride along the coast.
