Sun on the Horizon

This thoroughly modern villa with sea views and an abundance of natural light is located just a ten-minute drive from the heart of Funchal and the black sand beaches of Praia Formosa. Watch daybreak through the living area’s floor-to-ceiling windows with a coffee in hand before rustling up a tasty breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen. After dining altogether on the terrace, float about in the pool as the little ones make a beeline for the play area.

If you’re in the mood to explore, head over to the Sacred Art Museum of Funchal, Fort of São Tiago or Cabo Girão Skywalk. When you’ve worked up an appetite, check out the traditional restaurants local to your area then whet your whistle with a glass of local Poncha. At dusk, visit the Miradouro da Torre for stunning sunset vistas.
