This may seem a contradiction in terms, but it's not.

Porto Santo Maria is located at the water's edge with direct acces to the sea front promenade. Behind the hotel lies the old centre of Funchal, the renound "old town".  Its close relationship to the sea, the outstanding and exclusive views over the harbour where the cruise ships dock, its picturesque surroundings and the unique flavours of its cuisine result in genuine urban tranquility. The Porto Santa Maria´s location is fantastic for both the actively inclined and those who would prefer to relax and listen to the braking of waves
A congenial hotel offering 146 rooms, restaurant, bars with terrace, direct access to the promenade, outdoor pool, indoor pool, SPA, gym, parking... all in the heart of the city.
