With the Atlantic Ocean on the horizon, this stunning apartment is blessed with a sweeping panorama over the coast from its private roof terrace. In Funchal, you'll have access to the bustling promenade and the pristine sand of Praia Formosa, as well as world-class restaurants, and so much more. Be sure to bring your camera along as you'll be passing by many of the city's historical sights with its typical lavadas and mountainous backdrop in sight, while out embracing the sunny lifestyle of Madeira.

Back at home, you'll be waking up each morning in a calming bedroom with direct access onto the terrace – the perfect place to assemble the group for a lively breakfast, before heading down to the infinity pool for a refreshing dip. Curated with stylish furnishings, macrame decor and verdant green houseplants, the living area is also wonderfully bright and open, so you can quickly make the space your own.

When you're not soaking up the relaxing atmosphere of your pad, stagger down to the poolside decking, complete with lounge chairs and beautiful sea views, for a sun-soaked afternoon working on your tan. You'll also have access to the state-of-the-art gym, pool table and manicured gardens. But while you could spend the entire day enjoying your resort's fabulous amenities, do take some time to explore this gorgeous archipelago from your prime location.
