Madeira Panoramico Hotel ★★★★

Soak in the warmth on the sun-kissed terrace with Madeira's signature cocktail: Poncha. This simple blend of zinging lemon, sweet honey and sugar cane rum will tickle your taste buds and leave you feeling refreshed. Sit back on a lounger and take in the gorgeous views of the expansive Atlantic Ocean while sipping your drink or cool off by diving into the crystal-clear outdoor pool.

Grab a snack from the poolside bar or head over to the air-conditioned restaurant for a delicious buffet style meal featuring fresh seasonal produce. With an abundance of vegetarian options, chefs place a focus on reflecting the picturesque surrounding nature through heavenly plant-based dishes. There are plentiful other gastronomic delights awaiting you at the vast buffet in the morning, as the sun begins to rise, and at night when the stars fill the sky.

There are a number of facilities at the hotel for entertainment and relaxation purposes. Lawn tennis and squash courts provide the perfect place to exercise while table tennis and billiards offer leisurely play. If you want to unwind, soaking in the Turkish Bath before indulging in a therapeutic massage is the best way to soothe aching muscles.

Nestled in a quiet region of the island, the hotel offers a peaceful retreat with connections into the city centre. The surrounding flora thrives in the Portuguese climate, so taking a 30-minute stroll into the old town of Madeira is often preferred to a drive. However, if you want a quick transport link, a complimentary shuttle runs from the hotel daily into the lively capital. This historic centre is not to be missed during your stay as it offers an insight into the local culture and gastronomy.
