Sentido Galomar
Caniço, Funchal, Madeira
Overview
This is a contemporary, adults-only hotel designed to make the most of the waterfront location. You’ll find a saltwater lido, an outdoor pool that looks out across the Atlantic, a restaurant and bar with floor-to-ceiling windows, and modern rooms with furnished balconies.
Wellness revolves around yoga sessions, fitness classes, and holistic treatments at the Ashoka Spa. Rounding off the highlights are the hotel’s green credentials – this is the first hotel in Madeira that runs off of 100% self-sustainable energy.
