Our Favorite Hotels in Madeira

Madeira is one of our favorite destinations ever, home to dramatic cliffs, mountain trails, and sunny seaside towns. Every corner feels like a new adventure, and the stays are just as special. From boutique hotels in Funchal, resorts in Calheta to lodges in the mountains, there’s something for everyone. If you’re wondering where to stay, Funchal (south) is the most popular, and the north is a lot quieter but can also be cloudier.

Our favorite hotels in Funchal

Outdoor cafe seating with white umbrellas and green chairs sits in front of a three-story building at Viola Market Studios in Funchal. A street lamp and bronze statues enhance the charm of the cobblestone plaza.
