Overview

 
Perched high on a Funchal hillside, Madeira Panoramico Hotel lives up to its name with widescreen Atlantic views, terracotta rooftops and jagged green mountains all in one frame. An infinity-style pool, calm indoor spa pool and quietly comfortable rooms create a relaxed base for exploring Madeira’s capital, while a handy shuttle whisks you down to the waterfront when you’re ready for cafés, gardens and cable cars.

Infinity-edge days above Funchal, glow-gold sunsets and a sea of terracotta rooftops below – Madeira Panoramico Hotel gives you that classic Madeira viewpoint without sacrificing comfort. Linger by the pool, head indoors to the spa-style pool on cooler days, then wander into town for gardens, markets and cable car views over the harbour. For couples or relaxed friends’ breaks chasing Madeira’s scenery and charm, Madeira Panoramico Hotel strikes a sweet balance: quiet hilltop setting, easy access to town and big ocean views from morning to night. It’s around 50 minutes from Funchal Airport (FNC). See more Madeira holidays.

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.
