If you’re seeking a premium stay in the heart of Funchal, the VidaMar Resort is a dream come true. You’ll experience nothing short of 5 star elegance from its luxurious ocean-facing rooms to its trio of infinity pools and Thalasso Sea Spa. Better yet, did you know it’s home to Madeira's largest sea platform, leaving you footsteps from the Atlantic? Just think of those sunset views!
With 300 rooms spread across 10 floors, you’ve got your pick of deluxe spaces. Swanky superior options are not only contemporary but come with ample room to kick back and relax after exploring the island’s epic terrain. Whether that be from its plush double bed or on the oh-so-comfy sofa sprawled in front of the TV. As for facilities, rest knowing you have access to free Wi-Fi, room service, air conditioning, a kettle, and most importantly, fluffy bathrobes and slippers! Opt for a premium stay on the top floor for awe-inspiring views from your floor-to-ceiling windows, a pillow menu (how lavish) and complimentary access to the spa (please note that free, unlimited access to the hotel spa is not included in the premium family room category).
If you thought that was impressive, wait until you discover your Half Board offerings. The Ocean Buffet is open between 7:30am and 10:30am for breakfast. Here fresh omelettes are whipped up before your eyes at the show cooking station, while those with a sweet tooth can make a beeline for the American-style pancakes drizzled in syrup. Dinner is also served between 6:30pm and 9:30pm when you fancy stacking your plate with a hearty selection of meats, pizzas and pasta. For something more specialised, you can take advantage of the Italian, Madeiran, Japanese and seafood a la cartes. But we do suggest making a reservation at these themed restaurants to avoid disappointment. Trust us, you don’t want to miss out on the carbonara or blow-torched salmon.
For pre or post-dinner tipples, check out the Lisboa Bar. This chill-out spot is the ultimate place to unwind with a glass of local Poncha, flavoured gin or Portuguese wine. Meanwhile, the Ocean Bar mixes up the most delicious cocktails.
When you’re not overindulging, swim out to the horizon in one of the hotel’s zero-edge pools. Or while away the day on a padded lounger located on the sundeck. That’s when you’re not doing your best downward dog pose at one of the yoga sessions. After hitting the hotel’s Zumba class, the spa will relieve all those aches and pains. Think hot tubs, Turkish baths and steam rooms waiting to cleanse your pores. Travelling with little ones? Don’t worry, you can still grab a mud wrap or hot stone massage thanks to the action-packed kids’ club and childcare services.
The highlights don’t end there either. The VidaMar has a swoon-worthy location amidst exotic gardens, facing the Atlantic Ocean and offers panoramic views of Funchal Bay. Walk a few feet outside your complex and you’ll stumble across a string of shops, restaurants and bars. Choose a scenic 30-minute stroll or a 7-minute car ride to Funchal city centre to check out its iconic farmers’ market. And while you’re there, don’t forget to ride the jaw-dropping cable car to Monte which drops you just outside Madeira’s Botanical Garden. If you’re wondering how to get back down to the city, a 20mph toboggan ride is the answer!

Wonderful Stay.
We stayed for a week on half board basis at Vidamar. Our 9th floor room was fairly large with a lovely sea view and balcony. There was plenty of storage space and the maid did an excellent job. We found all the staff very helpful and professional. The buffet breakfast and dinner had plenty of choice and the quality of food was very good. Eggs and omelettes were freshly made and it was nice to have unlimited prosecco available at breakfast ! The Hotel had two outdoor swimming pools and a spa although we did not use either. The half board deal was excellent as there were 2 additional restaurants apart from the buffet in the hotel grounds. One was an Italian and the other was a Portuguese skewer restaurant. You could have the 3 course set meal at no extra cost ( lots of choice ) at either restaurant or have 15 E per person towards the a la carte menu. We eat at both restaurants and they were excellent. The hotel bar was not expensive and had really friendly staff. There is a bus stop outside of the hotel for the 10 minute ride to central Funchal but there were plenty of independent restaurants and bars near the hotel. A very nice stay. We would definitely return again. Thank you Vidamar.
