Where to stay in Funchal

Find the best Funchal areas and neighborhoods for the activities you enjoy most.

Imaculado Coracao de Maria

Perched on verdant slopes above Funchal, Imaculado Coracao de Maria offers a genuine slice of Madeiran life. The white church with its traditional Portuguese architecture serves as both spiritual heart and visual landmark. From here, terraced gardens and residential streets cascade down the hillsides with Atlantic Ocean views.

Small family-run cafés serve traditional Madeiran fare, letting you taste local flavors away from tourist crowds.

Authentic Madeiran tavernas serve island specialties alongside family-run restaurants with fresh seafood. The Holy Trinity Church and Quinta das Cruzes Museum showcase the area's rich cultural heritage. Steep streets reward walkers with unexpected ocean views and glimpses into lush private gardens.

São Roque

São Roque sits on a hillside above Funchal, offering travelers an authentic slice of Madeiran life. Traditional whitewashed houses with red-tile roofs cascade down terraced slopes. Cobblestone streets wind between stone walls draped with colorful bougainvillea. Mountain views frame modest homes amid lush subtropical vegetation. The neighborhood welcomes visitors with its friendly local atmosphere and scattered family-run tascas serving traditional Madeiran fare. While São Roque has limited tourist infrastructure, its proximity to hiking trails and mountain paths makes it ideal for nature lovers.

"Reid’s is a beautiful property with multiple pools and diving access to the ocean. Our stay involved changing rooms ( not the hotels fault), and not all rooms are the same. The first room had a walk in shower but the second room had a very slippery tub shower. There was construction going on during our stay that made for noisy afternoons. The food was really good and there are multiple restaurants, however, I would reserve a table in advance of your stay to guarantee your spot at dinner. The service was exceptional."
