The Vine
Unwind at this modern hotel in the middle of Funchal, where the decor is inspired by Madeira’s tradition of producing fortified wines. The spa is also influenced by winemaking, with several wine-themed treatments available. When it's time to relax, head to the rooftop pool with Bali beds, cushy loungers and stretching panoramas over the city and Atlantic Ocean.
The Views Baía
This adults-only, cosmopolitan hotel is perched about 195ft (60m) above sea level with sweeping views of the bay of Funchal. With nine floors and 238 stylish rooms, it offers fine décor, a bay-view outdoor pool, and handcrafted cocktails in a modern, sustainable setting. For further relaxation, there's a games room, spa, and heated indoor pool.
Worth knowing
Tailor your trip: Extend your adventure by securing extra hotel nights before or after the main itinerary. Speak to your sales representative to book.
Private rooms: Like most tour operators, we room solo passengers together. If you’d prefer to have a private room, it’s normally possible to do this for a supplement. Speak to your sales representative to book.
We stay at The Views Baía on the 14 June 2026 and 18 October 2026 departures, the other departures use The Vine.
