Vidamar Resort Hotel Madeira is perched above the Atlantic on the sun-kissed south coast of Madeira, offering breathtaking ocean views and lush, tropical gardens. The hotel is just a short drive from Madeira’s capital, Funchal, and under an hour from the island’s airport. The nearby Santo da Serra and Palheiro golf courses ensure guests have a selection of high quality golf courses to enjoy during their holiday.

This spacious resort features over 250 elegantly designed rooms and suites, with private balconies or terraces overlooking the sea or verdant gardens. Interiors are modern and comfortable, with subtle nods to the island’s heritage, ensuring guests feel the Madeira ambience from the moment they arrive.

Food lovers are very well catered for here. The hotel boasts multiple themed restaurants offering Mediterranean, Portuguese and international cuisines, plus seafood specialities drawing on fresh local catch. There’s also a buffet option with live cooking stations. To complement, several bars—including a beachfront-style terrace bar and stylish indoor lounges—serve up a range of cocktails, wines and lighter bites, perfect for unwinding with the sound of waves in the background.

For leisure and wellness, Vidamar Madeira does not disappoint. Outdoor infinity pools seem to merge with the ocean horizon; indoor pools and relaxing spa areas offer a range of treatments, steam, sauna and hydrotherapy options.

Other facilities include well-maintained gardens through which to take peaceful walks, shuttle access to the coastline or private access points to natural lava rock pools, and evening entertainment that captures Madeira’s culture through live music or themed nights.
