Pestana Grand Premium Ocean Resort  

On Funchal’s oceanfront promenade at Rua da Ponta da Cruz 23, this cliff-top ocean resort sits steps from Formosa Beach and just a five-minute stroll to Centro Comercial Forum Madeira. Lido Bathing Complex and Madeira Casino are a short ride away, and the airport is about 35 minutes by car.

Opulent interiors meet 5,000 m² of tropical gardens for a luxe-yet-relaxed vibe. Rooms offer private balconies with sea or garden views, air conditioning, LCD TVs, safes, minibars (extra), hairdryers and bathtubs with bidets; some categories include bathrobes and slippers. Expect elegant finishes, sweeping ocean outlooks and plenty of space to unwind.

Salt-water outdoor pool, heated indoor pool and a hot tub/Jacuzzi set the tone for lazy days and spa nights. Sauna, Turkish bath, massage and full spa treatments are on offer, plus a fitness center, poolside bar, gardens, games room and library. Kids club runs during school breaks and onsite parking and airport transfers are available (charges may apply) — wake up to sea-breeze mornings on your balcony.

Business center, conference and meeting rooms plus complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout make this a practical pick for work trips and events. Concierge and event support available.

A main buffet restaurant serves breakfast and buffet dinners, while themed venues specialise in Italian, Moroccan and Madeiran cuisine (dinner reservations required and subject to availability). There’s a poolside bar, bar/lounge and limited‑hour room service; half‑board guests can choose lunch or dinner and may access nearby themed restaurants—drinks are charged locally.
