Facilities
Pool & outdoors
This is very much a “pool with a view” kind of stay:
Outdoor infinity-style pool – A freshwater pool that appears to blend into the Atlantic, bordered by a sunbathing terrace with loungers and parasols. It’s heated in some seasons and comes with those signature Funchal and ocean views.
Indoor pool – A heated freshwater pool in the spa area, ideal if the weather dips or you prefer a calmer swim.
Pool towels are provided free of charge, so you can travel lighter. Facilities and heating schedules may vary by season.
There is no direct beach access from the hotel, but Funchal’s lidos, seafront promenades and Praia Formosa’s pebble/black‑sand stretches are a short shuttle or taxi ride away.
