Famed for its picturesque towns, luscious countryside and of course, the production of fortified wine, Madeira has long been a favoured holiday hotspot. The tiny Portuguese island charms with its friendly atmosphere and offers getaways to suit all, from city stays to beach breaks.
For unforgettable holidays to Madeira, base yourself at The Views. With three stunning four-star hotels dotted along the island’s south coast, the hardest part of your holiday will be choosing between them. Here’s our hotel round up to help.
1. The Views Monumental
Best for: An urban adventure in the heart of Funchal
Located in Lido, The Views Monumental is the perfect choice for those wanting to be in the centre of the action in Madeira’s capital, Funchal. This pint-sized city enchants with its picturesque architecture and bustling street-side cafes and you’ll be ideally situated to make the most of the entertainment and recreation activities on offer here.
Monumental itself wows with its contemporary interior, stylish pool and enviable views out to sea. Relaxing stays come as standard here with a variety of comfortable guest rooms and exceptional facilities including a spa centre and fitness gym. Guests will find themselves within metres of popular shops, restaurants, bars and markets, while the tourist hub of Lido Promenade is only a short walk away. And if that weren’t enough to tempt you, there are glorious beaches right on the doorstep too.
2. The Views Oasis
Best for: Secluded getaways with the family
If you’re seeking a tranquil escape with the family, look no further than The Views Oasis.
