The Hotel Pestana Porto Santo can be found on a charming little island located just off the coast of Madiera. Imagine traditional, white-washed buildings placed on beautiful cobblestone streets. It will feel like a million miles from the hectic day-to-day of modern life. The hotel itself is situated right on a glorious sandy beach and enjoys mountain views to the rear.
Highlights
All the rooms here are bright, and comfortable, are fitted with air conditioning, and feature either a balcony or a terrace. You may opt for something bigger and go for the two-bedroom suite which is ideal for families travelling with young children, or maybe the villas which feature kitchens.
There are two large pools, lined with swaying palms that offer pleasant shade from the Portuguese sun, and Bali- style sun beds that are the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail and a good book! There is a snack bar in the pool area that serves drinks, ice creams, and other light bites.
Two Kid’s Clubs run daily. One is ideal for younger guests and offers arts, crafts, and music workshops, while the other is geared up for tweens and teens and has gaming options and movie options.
