Lidos and lilos
In town there’s a famous lido complex, with separate children’s pools. Walk 25 minutes out of town and you’ll come to Praia Formosa – four black sand and pebble beaches. Stop at one of the restaurants or cafés here or stroll back to town along the prom.
The garden of Europe
Winston Churchill was a big fan of Madeira, calling it the ‘floating garden’. On your Funchal holiday, you’ll find some of the world’s most exquisite floral displays, and there are six public gardens worth checking out. There’s even a famous Flower Festival that takes place every year.
An upbeat nightlife
Funchal might be an old city, but it’s also a modern capital, with stylish tapas restaurants and café bars. Head down to the marina or Old Town and you’ll find cocktails and modern Portuguese dishes on the menu. And there are discos and clubs downtown, where DJs keep the crowd going until the early hours.
Experience Madeira in bloom and celebrate spring as parades, markets and exhibitions take over the island, normally in April or May. The Float Parade, held since 1979, is a true spectacle. You’ll see...

Madeira holiday
08 Jul 2019
The hotel was situated above the rocks about 40 minutes walk outside Funchal. It was a quiet hotel with good pool and gym facilities.
The rooms were quiet and our view to the ocean was as requested. The breakfast buffet and dinner buffets were consistently very good. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Our one criticism was that the towels for external use were threadbare and some of the walls needed painting / upgrading.

Excellent hotelHappy with zexperience and will use Jet2 holidays again.
Just a note: We paid extra for a full front sea facing room with full balcony, when we arrived at the hotel we were given a front facing room facing the sea with very limited sea view as you could only see the ocean if you were standing up. We spoke to the front desk and as they were full we stayed that night in the room and was moved and upgraded to another room.
Hotel was beautiful!

Pestana Grand is a lovely hotel with good choice of breakfast food. Friendly staff, clean with beautiful sea views.
Only criticism I have is that water should be included with the evening meal if gone as half board choice.

Perfect Pestana Grand
01 Aug 2017
We came for a girlie relaxing weekend, 6 of us, which consisted of 2 70 year olds (mums) myself and my best friend us being in our late 40's and our daughters 21 and 15. So a big mixed age range and the Pestana catered for all of us. What a little gem. Rooms beautiful, very clean, showers worked a treat, The food was amazing , all the staff were very professional and nothing was too much trouble for any of them. Madeira is a beautiful island, 3 must to do's are Monte Toboggan, botanical gardens and a catamaran trip out to see the dolphins. There is a shuttle bus that is free from the hotel into Funchal, however where you get dropped of, it is quite a walk to harbour, restaurants etc, so best to get taxi, cost us 15 - 20 euros for six of us from door to door. Will definately be coming back, according to the taxi drivers the Pestana is one of the best hotels on the island. So go ahead and book this hotel, with no hesitation, and of course you have to use Jet2Holidays absolutely the best airline, will not be using anyone else - used all the other well known budget airlines plus others and they are not a patch on Jet2. Impeccable airline everyone from check in staff, stewardesses, meet and greeters, reps are fantastic and the pilots well what can I say, Madeira one of the hardest airport and shortest runway in the world to land a plane - he did it without a hitch!!!!
Definately going back with my husband and have already recommended friends that are going to visit also. Thank you for a lovely time had by all.

Had a great break at the Pestana Grand, location was ok a little to far out to walk in the evening, but as we just wanted to chill, then it was great, lots of local restaurants, great views. the hotel staff were great and happy hour twice a day was also good,

Excellent facilities and service. Good food and very relaxed by pool. Courtesy buses get busy - suggest the early ones to get to Funchal. Hotel provided taxis when full - nice touch. All staff speak good English and most helpful. Try the island tours if you have a good head for heights.
