We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club. The location is simply unbeatable — perched on the edge of the ocean with breathtaking views and easy access to both nature and nearby attractions. What truly made the stay exceptional was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was warm, professional, and genuinely committed to making our stay as pleasant as possible. Their hospitality exceeded all expectations. The tennis court, set against the backdrop of the sea, is very nice. The pool area down by the ocean is spectacular. It’s peaceful, beautifully designed, and feels like your own private retreat. Very good restaurant as well. We were lucky enough to extend our stay by two extra nights, and so grateful we did. It gave us more time to soak in the peaceful atmosphere and enjoy everything the hotel has to offer. We will definitely be back. This place is a true gem.

Whole apartament was clean and cosy. Garden was an excellent addition, we totally love using grill. Comunication with Owner was easy and He was realny helpful.
Airport is closer than you can think, but it wasn't that loud. You can hear it, but it wasn't a trouble for us.

Great place to explore the East of the island , Machico is a relaxed version of Funchal. Good beach for swimming and good restaurants. The east, except Sam Lauranco, is little explorer and all the better for that. It is our favourite part of Madeira, much like the island was when we first came 40years ago. Walk the small! Alvarez with no other walkers in sight, bliss.

Santa Cruz is a charming seaside town on Madeira’s east coast, known for its relaxed vibe, beautiful ocean views, and welcoming locals. With cozy cafés, a lovely promenade, and easy access to the airport, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy authentic Madeiran life by the sea.

Machico is a very pleasant place to stay in Madeira.
Machico is a very pleasant place to stay in Madeira. It’s relatively quiet compared to Funchal, but it is nice and peaceful.
It has one of the best sandy beaches on the island, it has a nice town centre with plenty of bars restaurants and cafes.
For anyone who likes walking, there are many hiking trails to discover close by.

if you like being somewhere rural and out of the way and quiet then it is a good place to stay. there only appeared to be 3 staff on duty at any one time. probably the best massage in the spa i have had. the pool is small but adequate and we never found it busy. if you are expecting a nice view from your bedroom, you won;t get it and the weather is colder than down on the coast!!!!

Gaula is convenient for Funchal and the airport.
Gaula is convenient for Funchal and the airport. But it is not the best part of Madeira. We much preferred the west coast and the middle of the island
The plant life and trees across the island are superb. And some of the scenery is breathtaking. A real gem of an island; we were pleasantly surprised over and over

Machico resort is not for the night clubbing holiday maker, It was however for us a slow paced setting with a good selection of restaurants and supermarkets with walking routes for those who wish. The harbour offered boat trips, whale watching and surf lessons, the latter was enjoyed from the safety of a dry vantage point. Local bus into Funchal for 2-60 euro single was 50 mins away which opens up further opportunities for excursions and sight seeing like the red or yellow hop on hop off bus tours which operate from the promenade where the ticket is valid for 24 hours allowing to to spend time where the mood takes. Weather forecasting in resort will not take into account the drizzle from the mountains with can add a cooling break from the sunshine and occasional rain. Enjoy.

2nd time we stayed here, first time the weather was great everywhere, this time as the hotel is up in the mountains the weather was worse at the hotel then on other location on the island
It's a great spot if you want to avoid crowded places and are there for the hiking experience
If you want to go to the beaches and city its not recommended

A pleasant little place to walk around with many bars and restaurants

You can make short bus or taxi trips to Machico and other nearby places and the Airport is about a 10 minute drive away.

A nice area to stay outside Funchal where I find it still preserves. We stayed in the best Modern Guesthouse, ate local foods in O’Gala and Massa Mia.
They have two beaches. The rocky area and the sand area.
