Beatiful hotel, outstanding facilities. Rooftop infinity pool with awesome view. Extremely comfortable bed, luxurious bathroom with high quality toiletries. Nespresso machine in room, good sized safe. Awesome ocean view. Beautiful decor, lots of cosy sitting places. Lots of good restaurants around within 5 mins walk. Av. do Infante is a nice area of Funchal -- in comparison, Estrada Monumental feels a bit like "tourist hell." Staff was polished and very friendly and helpful overall.

The time we’ve spent at THE NAVIGATOR COLOMBUS PORTO SANTO this last AUGUST/2025 was simply:  -- PHENOMENAL! -- - If you want a PEACEFUL, SIMPLISTIC yet COMPLETE, PARADISE-like experience, this is the hotel of choice in Porto Santo Island.  Exceeding customer expectations, warm communication, effective problem resolution, consistency,, all in a package of timeless memories of EXCELLENCE, PEACE and COMFORT, deserves our RECOGNITION.  Note: This Evaluation is (even) after experiencing a "soft-opening" context. 1) The EXAMPLE comes from the TOP!  GENERAL MANAGER MARCO LISBOA is a DEDICATED PROFESSIONAL, always an EXPERT in daily EXCELLENCE. 2) Room Division Manager PEDRO MARTINS has a MAGIC way of finding the best room solutions! And room cleanliness is second to none. 3) FRONT DESK follows through: Miss ANA and all her colleagues give the very BEST every day! 4) FOOD EXCELLENCE - ALWAYS!  No hotel is worthwhile without excellent food.  Professionally trained staff prepare and serve ALL-INCLUSIVE SERVICE throughout the DAY.  Never a boring meal, with thematic days and lots of CHOICE. 5) Portugal's Golden BEACH is 1 minute walk away! Inner and outdoor POOLS are well cared for.  Even a toddler's pool helps parents and even the younguest of customers enjoy the best playful of times. Keep FIT at the GYM. 6) Entertainment (live music and other performances) is a simple JOY,, that is never a nuisance for customers. 7) Last but not least: We had the best experience, even surpassing our expectations! A BIG "THANK YOU" TO ALL!!! Hope to meet you SOON. --- O tempo que passámos no THE NAVIGATOR COLOMBUS PORTO SANTO em AGOSTO/2025 foi simplesmente: -- FENOMENAL! -- - Se procura uma experiência TRANQUILA, SIMPLES mas COMPLETA, PARADISÍACA, este é o hotel para escolher na Ilha do Porto Santo.

Curral das Freiras

Tucked in a hidden valley, this charming village promises spectacular views of the surrounding mountainside and treats made with local chestnuts.

Pico Ruivo peak

Climb to the top of Madeira’s highest peak for stunning scenery and panoramic vistas over the entire island.

Cape Girão lookout point

Cape Girão is home to Europe’s highest cliff skywalk, which includes a thrilling lookout point with a glass-floored platform.

Laurisilva Forest

FAQs about hotels in Madeira Islands

The Island of Eternal Spring

With lush landscapes, brightly coloured flowers and a mild, year-round climate, it’s easy to see why Madeira is called the ‘Island of Eternal Spring’. Its interior is mountainous, so most resorts are coastal, many at the foot of steep cliffs.

One such resort is Paul do Mar, a fishing village known for whale watching and surfing, as is Jardim do Mar, on a plateau just east. Nearby Calheta has 2 white sand beaches protected by breakwaters.

The main resort is the capital Funchal. Cascading down slopes, it has the lion’s share of 5-star hotels in Madeira on Booking.com. A cable car ascending into the hills offers fantastic views towards the harbour where cruise liners and ferries from neighbouring Porto Santo island are berthed.

East, Caniço’s sandy beach is nestled between rocky cliffs, while Santa Cruz is the nearest resort to Madeira Airport. Machico is the 2nd biggest city and has the best nightlife outside Funchal, but the best Madeira hotels for families are in quieter resorts such as Porto da Cruz in the north.

Santana is home to the triangular-shaped, thatched houses typical of the island, and twisting mountain roads lead to São Vicente, an attractive hill town with red-roofed houses. By the north-western tip is the village of Porto Moniz whose offshore rocks shelter natural rock pools.

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.

Santana is a perfect location to explore the north coast.

Santana is a perfect location to explore the north coast. Not far away from airport and capital, but still on the north. Two hiking starting points are nearby: Queimadas and Achada do Teixeira. Santana also has an only large supermarket on the whole north coast, so you can buy delicious food right there. No such option in Porto Moniz or Seixal.

Calhetta itself is small and the main part of it centres around the harbour. As you might expect this means that all the major activities are boat-based such as whale and dolphin watching, sailing, fishing, excursions etc. but there are also lots of restaurants and bars overlooking the harbour where you can get a great meal - especially if you like fish - or just relax for the evening and watch the sunset.
