Aqua Natura Madeira Hotel  

Perched on Madeira’s rugged north coast in the village of Porto Moniz, this cliffside beach hotel looks straight at the famous Porto Moniz Natural Pools and the nearby Lava Pools. About 66 km from Cristiano Ronaldo Airport and roughly 46 km from Funchal, it’s a scenic base for exploring the island’s northern highlights. Family-friendly and sea-facing, it’s perfect for travelers chasing dramatic Atlantic views.

The hotel blends modern comfort with island character across 25 individually decorated rooms. Expect private furnished balconies with ocean or pool views, minibars, LCD TVs, and bathrooms with rainfall showers; suites add a living area and triple rooms offer extra sitting space. The property sits between towering cliffs and the Atlantic, so the vibe is fresh, relaxed and a little bold.

Soak in a solarium Jacuzzi or unwind in the sauna and hot tub, then hit the gym or book a massage at the spa. There’s a diving center, gardens and tour assistance to get you into Madeira’s wild spots. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings, use the area shuttle (surcharge) to explore, and take advantage of free self-parking on site.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected. The hotel also offers a business center, meeting/conference facilities and express check-out for convenient work trips.

Sea View Restaurante serves pool-side meals with a bar/lounge and scenic outlooks. Buffet breakfasts are offered daily (fee applies), and limited room service is available for quieter nights in.
