Pestana Palms Ocean Aparthotel

The Pestana Palms Ocean Aparthotel boasts a priviledged location, right on the sea front and set within the beautiful tropical gardens affording stunning views over the ocean. The hotel is very close to fantastic restaurants, pubs and shops, just a 20 minute walk to Funchal city centre, 2km from the Marina and the Casino and 20km from Funchal International Airport. Madeira Island, where the hotel is located, is known as Europe's floating garden and all year round summer destination is known for unspoiled natural beauty and legendary hospitality. Activities vary, from underwater exploration, whale and dolphin watching, sailing, water skiing or fishing to activities on land, such as coach tours of the island, stunning hiking trails along cliff-tops and the popular Levada walks. The famous Flower Festival will dazzle you with exotic flower species and scents. Gastronomy Festivals will deliver taste and flavours you will never forget and the Madeira Wine Festival showcases many varieties of wines, especially Madeira wine, the same Madeira wine Shakespear refers to in Henry IV. You may not want to miss the famous New Year Fireworks, one of the largest fireworks displays in the world, either from your hotel, out on the street, on a great cruise ship off the coast or from a private yacht anchored on the Bay of Funchal.
