Our take
Our verdict on Pestana Vila Lido: a 5-star ocean hotel whose private beach access and sea-view pool set it apart in Funchal. Balcony rooms with soundproofing, a spa, a restaurant serving all three meals and a bar make it easy to stay on site. Guests rate it 9.1 over more than 1,200 reviews. I would book it when the sea matters more than being in the old town.
- Make sure to book a room with a balcony to fully enjoy the sea views and fresh air.
- Take advantage of the private beach area for a more exclusive seaside experience.
- Explore the spa's sauna and hammam for a truly relaxing afternoon after a day by the water.
