Pestana Vila Lido Madeira is a five-star hotel with direct access to the sea and very near to the centre of Funchal. Built in the Lido district, one of the most elegant parts of Madeira’s capital, it is, at the same time a modern and a traditional space.
An extraordinary cylindrical building houses the rooms, each one with a balcony. The former country house, a huge chalet that evokes the sophistication of tourism at the dawn of the 20th century, conserves the charm of the origins of Vila Lido which go back to 1938. It also houses the common areas. Between both buildings, a splendid garden and the swimming pool alongside the ocean.
Pestana Vila Lido Madeira close proximity to the Atlantic is an immense privilege. The steps that lead down to the sea, were built to ensure total safety, and they are the only way to access the warm, calm waters and enjoy a swim. In the background, on the horizon, there is a spectacular panoramic view of the Desertas Islands.
Madeiras’s Internacional Airport is just 23 km away.

LOCATION AND DESTINATION
Madeira, at any time of the year is magnificent. The subtropical climate of this Portuguese island guarantees 365 days per year of irresistible weather and nonstop excitement. Known as the Garden Island, and for good reason: it is a perfect botanical garden, celebrated annually in the month of May, in the Flower Festival, with the streets of Funchal covered in flower carpets and a dazzling procession. In June, things really take off with the Atlantic Festival, a cultural and music event that also takes in the neighboring island of Porto Santo. And later on in the year, of course, there is the world famous New Year’s Eve Party from Funchal, an unforgettable spectacle with a firework display that will leave you amazed.
You can use up all of your pent-up energy on hikes along Madeira’s paths and trails, or you can use it taking brisk swims in the middle of the Atlantic. If you go out on a boat in search of whales and dolphins, you will probably stop off at a bay and dive into the contrasting greens and blues.
Discover also the district of Santana, with its original traditional houses, and the incredible natural pools of Porto Moniz. Explore the Curral das Freiras, where the breathtaking view over the forest reveals Madeira in all its glory.
Pestana Vila Lido Madeira is the ideal hotel for setting out to explore. It is a 20 minute-walk from the centre of Funchal and the airport is a 20-minute drive by car.
