Our take
I recommend Castanheiro Boutique Hotel to travellers who want central Funchal and a proper spa in the same place. The spa centre is unusually complete, with a hydrotherapy pool, sauna, Turkish bath, massage rooms and even a hairdresser, and the outdoor pool and hot tub are open year-round. Rooms with a terrace or balcony are worth asking for. The marina is a short walk away, and the restaurant and bar save a trip out. A 9.2 rating across 499 reviews confirms a well-run stay.
- Make sure to explore the spa facilities; the hydrotherapy pool and Turkish bath are particularly rejuvenating.
- Consider a room with a terrace or balcony for extra space and to enjoy the Funchal climate.
- Take advantage of the hotel's central location to walk to Funchal Marina and explore the surrounding area.
