Location

Beach holiday on Madeira! This popular hotel is situated next to a small marina, directly on the golden sandy beach (man-made) of Calheta. A rarity on Madeira, as only a few hotels on this beautiful island can offer direct access to a sandy beach. It is about a 10-minute walk (1 km) to the town. Funchal is approx. 35 km away and Madeira's international airport is about a 40-minute drive (approx. 50 km) from the hotel. We recommend booking a rental car (EDV-Code: FNC012A) to easily explore the island.
