The designers of this contemporary hotel used huge, floor-to-ceiling windows and open spaces to make the most of the natural light.
It also means you get panoramic views of the sea and the nearby banana plantations.There’s a flight of steps at the edge of the grounds, which leads down to a dramatic dark-sand beach.
Take the coastal trail in the opposite direction, and you’ll see waves crashing into one of Madeira’s natural swimming pools.There are two pools at this place.
The main, outdoor one looks out over the coast, and it comes with a neighbouring bar.
The second pool is indoors, and has a whirlpool next to it.
Dining-wise, you’ve got a buffet restaurant with a sea-view terrace, plus a lobby bar that also has an al fresco seating area.
A spa* rounds off the facilities list – it houses treatment rooms, a sauna, a steam room, and a gym.
