Saccharum
Wonderful west-coast spot with lots of extra activities
Blissful seafront escape at an elegant resort in Calheta, one of Madeira’s prettiest and sunniest spots.
A great option if you’re looking to explore more of Madeira than just its capital, this slick west-coast hotel is a stone’s throw from the marina and a little man-made beach. Sleek wooden floors, olive green panelling and a collection of preserved machinery pay homage to its history as a sugar cane mill and a fabulous infinity pool juts out over the sea.
Why we love Saccharum
-
Dedicated kids’ pool and an indoor heated pool.
-
The excellent spa features an ice fountain, sensory showers and a Turkish bath.
-
Upgrade to SPE rooms and suites for Premium Experience benefits.
-
Take the unique Banana Crop Tuesday tour and learn about everything from irrigation to selling.
