At the Hotel Pestana Carlton Madeira you barely have to take your eyes off the sea – you can swim, dine and drink without losing sight of it.
The sea views come thick and fast at the Hotel Pestana Carlton Madeira. The property is set at the top of a slope and it overlooks the Bay of Funchal and the Atlantic Ocean.

Some of the best vistas are served up by the side of the Garden Pool, which is surrounded by sunloungers and palm trees. If you’d rather see the sea close-up, you can head to the Atlantic Pool, which is located at the foot of a cliff side and filled with sea water.

There is an indoor swimming pool at the hotel which is part of the Magic Spa. This pool also boasts a Jacuzzi, a sauna, a Turkish bath and treatment rooms close to the water.

There’s a choice of eateries here. Buffet breakfasts and dinners are served in the Arcos. The Garden Pool Restaurant serves light meals in view of the sea during the day. Plus, there’s a Taverna Grill, which is open at weekends.

Your guide to Funchal, Madeira

“A landscape covered in blooms and greenery, and a cobbled old town filled with boutiques and wine bars – that’s the scene in Funchal.”

Madeira’s capital city is sprawled across a pea-green hillside and framed by jagged limestone cliffs. And, just like the rest of the island, it’s covered in a blanket of bougainvillea and jacaranda trees.

Down by the waterfront, a palm-lined promenade runs the length of the city, backed by grassy lawns, fountains and restaurants. Local artists spread their work out on blankets along the floor, while musicians entertain al fresco diners, while they soak up the views of the marina.

Away from the seafront, yellow taxis line up along the leafy avenues, and holidaymakers sip wine in the sunny, cobbled squares of the old town. Funchal’s terracotta-topped buildings are some of the prettiest around, too – they’re accessorised with green window shutters and flower-wrapped balconies.

As for things to do, you’ve got everything from art galleries to high-end shops to keep you busy. And you can’t visit Funchal without seeing its covered market or experiencing its top attraction – a cable car that takes you up to the mountain village of Monte. From here, you can hurtle back down towards the city in a toboggan.
