Amazing hotel near Santana. The view from our room overlooking the ocean was breathtaking! Beautiful rooms, friendly staff, amazing breakfast. I would definitely book this hotel again! The pools and jacuzzi with views of the mountains and oceans were the icing on the cake. The restaurant is also worth a try.

The hotel was really great. It reopened the 21th of July 2025 and we were the first guest. The food was delicious. - Buffet for breakfast and a la carte menu for lunch and dinner. Really good coffee and nice cocktails also. It was fresh and top quality even ig i am very picky😅 The pools were gorgeous, sunbeds are also included. There was also a towel trunk to give you as many fresh towel as you want. The hotel is not crowed and childfriendly. The staff was so nice and helpful. After our stay i went to the Pestana for 2 days and the comparison was hard. I must say our stay with Navigator was much better than the Pestana next door and cheaper.

The location and its surroundings are absolutely stunning, the modern, clean room design is gorgeous, and the breakfast and restaurant are an absolute treat. Consider dining or waking up to the view of the Atlantic Ocean 300 feet below, and a small creek or waterfall running just outside of your room along your private garden or patio. It's not a dream, it's reality.

FAQs about hotels in Madeira Islands

The Island of Eternal Spring

With lush landscapes, brightly coloured flowers and a mild, year-round climate, it’s easy to see why Madeira is called the ‘Island of Eternal Spring’. Its interior is mountainous, so most resorts are coastal, many at the foot of steep cliffs.

One such resort is Paul do Mar, a fishing village known for whale watching and surfing, as is Jardim do Mar, on a plateau just east. Nearby Calheta has 2 white sand beaches protected by breakwaters.

The main resort is the capital Funchal. Cascading down slopes, it has the lion’s share of 5-star hotels in Madeira on Booking.com. A cable car ascending into the hills offers fantastic views towards the harbour where cruise liners and ferries from neighbouring Porto Santo island are berthed.

East, Caniço’s sandy beach is nestled between rocky cliffs, while Santa Cruz is the nearest resort to Madeira Airport. Machico is the 2nd biggest city and has the best nightlife outside Funchal, but the best Madeira hotels for families are in quieter resorts such as Porto da Cruz in the north.

Santana is home to the triangular-shaped, thatched houses typical of the island, and twisting mountain roads lead to São Vicente, an attractive hill town with red-roofed houses. By the north-western tip is the village of Porto Moniz whose offshore rocks shelter natural rock pools.

    The hospitality is perfect. • When arrived, you will be seated and can enjoy a passion fruit welcome drink. • The room is spacious and clean, with artwork of C Ronaldo.Right outside the room, there is an outdoor gym on grass, overlooking Funchal. As well as the swimming pool, sauna and hot tub. Be sure to arrive early to enjoy those facilities. • If you come back to the hotel late, the hotel restaurant is closed but there is also a seaside restaurant just beside the hotel that open until midnight. You can enjoy beer and meat for around 1x euros. • Breakfast at the hotel is excellent with many choices of hot and cold food. There is a chef for fresh omelette as well. Drinks included many juices and procecco, I made my own cocktail. • Luggage could be stored after check out. • Ask for a ticket if you do not have time to do the CR7 Museum Tour during your time, and do it after check out.

    I love Madeira but Funchal has limited activities and shops.

    I love Madeira but Funchal has limited activities and shops. To get the most out of Madeira you need to venture out of town, ideally in your own transport, and see the island scenery. Funchal feels European but isn't very trendy and offers limited food and shopping for seasoned travellers.

    Machico resort is not for the night clubbing holiday maker,...

    Machico resort is not for the night clubbing holiday maker, It was however for us a slow paced setting with a good selection of restaurants and supermarkets with walking routes for those who wish. The harbour offered boat trips, whale watching and surf lessons, the latter was enjoyed from the safety of a dry vantage point. Local bus into Funchal for 2-60 euro single was 50 mins away which opens up further opportunities for excursions and sight seeing like the red or yellow hop on hop off bus tours which operate from the promenade where the ticket is valid for 24 hours allowing to to spend time where the mood takes. Weather forecasting in resort will not take into account the drizzle from the mountains with can add a cooling break from the sunshine and occasional rain. Enjoy.

    Santana is a perfect location to explore the north coast. Not far away from airport and capital, but still on the north. Two hiking starting points are nearby: Queimadas and Achada do Teixeira. Santana also has an only large supermarket on the whole north coast, so you can buy delicious food right there. No such option in Porto Moniz or Seixal.

    Calhetta itself is small and the main part of it centres around the harbour. As you might expect this means that all the major activities are boat-based such as whale and dolphin watching, sailing, fishing, excursions etc. but there are also lots of restaurants and bars overlooking the harbour where you can get a great meal - especially if you like fish - or just relax for the evening and watch the sunset.

    This location is simply out-of-this-world beautiful.

    This location is simply out-of-this-world beautiful. I did a lot of driving around Madeira, 700km in a week, so I saw a lot of places. Sao Vicente is lush, green, mountainous and breathtaking. I'm definitely glad we stayed here.

    Great local place.

    Great local place. I am very glad I have not spend the time in Funchal. From here I could explore the whole island and had my peace in the evening but with vibrant Sunday as all the locals come to town for their coffee and markets.
