Fun Things to Do

Set on a top of a cliff, in the south coast of Madeira Island, just a 25 minutes drive from Funchal, the hotel results from the renovation of an old Quinta. Member of the “Design Hotels“ the Estalagem da Ponta do Sol is an excelent example of how arhitecture and nature can be seamlessly joined.

The best way to define the concept that lies behind the Estalagem da Ponta do Sol is the idea of an escape Hotel . Set on a top of a clif, a more spectacular location is difficult to imagine. All of the hotel´s sections divide hemselves along slate outcrops that tumble down to the sea. The Hotel results from the renovation of a old “quinta”, and the goal was simple : to integrate a distinct, comtemporay style with original buildings and the amazing location . The architecture enhanced the beauty of a beautiful place and the atomsphere is simple ,relaxed, yet sophisticated.
