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.

VidaMar was perfect for us and we came aways very relaxed and more in love with the island of Madiera then when arrived. Staff were busy but always had time for us. Excellent location with fantastic seawater pools (just what we wanted). The Lisbon cocktail lounge became a regular haunt, and it's well worth the visit.

Staff were wonderful
05 Feb 2025
Our room was very good. The twin beds were comfortable. The bathroom well appointed with an opaque glass screen making the toilet fairly private. I didnt like discovering a cockroach in the bathroom but a chap was soon sent to deal with that. We really enjoyed the pool bar lunches - we swopped our evening meals for those lunches and were allowed 15 Euros to spend.

There many better places to stay in Funchal
10 Jul 2024
Vidamar Resort claims to be a five star venue. Sadly this was not our experience. The facilities are four star in my opinion and the service is two/three star depending on who you get. We went for the half board package and the food in the Mama Mia's was pretty good but the service was terrible. The Portuguese restaurant food was decent. The setting is fantastic and there are lots of great restaurants nearby. There were also several days when the rooms did not get cleaned and the rooms sold as junior suites are not great. On the positive the gym was excellent. The service from the Jet 2 staff was also lacking.
We have been to Funchal several times and it is a great place to visit with the family and having previously stayed at the Savoy Palace we know there are better places to stay. Perhaps it was just experience but we would not stay here again.

Lovely stay
05 Oct 2022
We stayed here mid September for a week
Positives:
Location was great for us, 20 minutes into Funchal.
Hotel was lovely and light, airy and very clean, we were up on the 9th floor with beautiful sea views.
All areas of hotel very clean.
Room was spacious and clean, comfy bed but awful pillows. Bathroom spacious with good facilities. Views from balcony stunning. Cleaning staff friendly and efficient.
Lovely to eat outside but no atmosphere inside restaurant, pool restaurant excellent.
Breakfast excellent.
Pools fantastic and no issues getting loungers, beach towel change facilities good.
Restaurant staff friendly and efficient, never a problem when speaking with them, also good at clear up of plates.
Evening meal food well presented and cooking staff friendly and helpful.
Reception staff friendly and helpful but also see negatives.
Negatives:
Some reception staff not smiley.
Wi-Fi very poor, if we needed it had to use in reception.
Food in evening could have been better with a bit more variety, red meats a little tough.
Rooms could have done with a makeover but understand that when used nearly all year around it is not easy. Dinks on wardrobes and furniture etc.
Coffee was absolutely shocking in restaurant at breakfast.
Overall very happy and would stay there again and would recommend.
Thank you Vidamar

VidaMar Resort Hotel Madeira
09 Sep 2022
We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the VidaMar Hotel. We had a sea view room on the top floor which was excellent with complimentary entry to the spa facility. Our room had a kettle for tea and coffee making and was spotlessly clean. The buffet restaurant was very good and we took advantage of the ability to also eat at the hotel's traditional Portuguese restaurant and pizza/pasta restaurant.
All of the staff were extremely helpful, polite and cheerful. I had a milestone birthday during our stay and the hotel provided a surprise birthday cake and bottle of bubbly in our room that day.
We will be returning!

Good choice!

Nice Hotel in good location on the shore. No beach but good pools. Nice rooms and friendly personal service from staff. Live entertainment six nights per week and lots of help to book excursions etc. Eating options from buffet to a la carte with several restaurants.

Fabulous hotel and staff
04 Jun 2019
Fabulous hotel and staff make it a good relaxing holiday.
Only one thing to improve and that is the coffee. At breakfast you help yourself from the coffee/hot water machine which is fine but the coffee has never been near a coffee bean. If you want coffee or tea with your evening meal, it is not included in half board and you will be charged for it.

Sea View room with dated decor
15 May 2019
The hotel was situated in a good location. Staff were friendly. Decor was dated and some repairs were needed to paint work . Dehumidifiers were left in the hallway for the whole week and we're a trip hazard and unsightly. Jacuzzi did not work in free spa. Food was ok but not as good as we have had at same star hotels. Dine around was at an extra cost although clearly all owned by hotel as same staff.

Superb hotel in all ways
30 Apr 2019
This is a beautiful modern hotel in an ideal location with excellent facilities, superb amenities, lovely food and caring, helpful and friendly staff. The location, looking out over the ocean, is ideal.

Very modern hotel, lovely setting.
19 Sep 2018
This was our third visit to the VidaMar in the last 18 months. Very good standard of hotel. One grumble since our last visit. We used to be served with our own tea or coffee pots at breakfast but on our last visit tea and coffee machines had been installed. A little inconvenient having to keep getting up and sometimes queueing for drinks. We prefer being served with the coffee pots, especially as it is a 5*.

Hotel very clean with friendly staff. the food was nothing special but OK. Tried the Mama-mia restaurant one night but would not recommend it as we had to wait over fifty minutes. Pools are a short distance from hotel, further than normal but plenty space.
