Set in over three acres of subtropical gardens on Madeira’s south coast, the Porto Mare Hotel is a supremely luxurious base from which to explore the archipelago’s capital, Funchal. It offers access to five pools and restaurants, a spa and three bars, and fine, stately gardens that are home to more than 500 plant species to explore.
You’ll be spoilt for choice with things to do while staying at this resort, with the bustling lido promenade just 100 metres away, the famous Formosa beach a mile or so to the West and the fascinating Old Town just 10 minutes along the coast by bus or taxi. And once the day of exploring or poolside chilling is over, you can book a treatment at the spa or enjoy a glass of wine from your suite terrace overlooking the sea.
