Life at The Views Baía
Picture your arrival: your driver meets you at Funchal Airport, the luggage is taken care of, and before long you are in Funchal, where The Views Baía waits. Contemporary sea-view rooms between old Funchal and the marina.
Sea views and walk to the old town set the tone for the days ahead. Rooftop restaurant and bar with views over the bay. It is a stay we recommend especially for couples, longer stays.
Beyond the hotel, Madeira unfolds at your own pace. Madeira rises steeply from the Atlantic, its cliffs draped in laurel forest, flowers and terraced gardens. Known as the island of eternal spring, it has welcomed travellers since the 19th century, when British families came for the mild climate and the wine.
