Quinta da Rochinha 9360-529 Ponta do Sol /Madeira (Madeira|Portugal)
Due to its unique architectural style and spectacular views of the ocean, this hotel is practically an island inside an island. Perched atop a rocky sea cliff, 20 minutes by car from Funchal, the hotel boasts its position as a watchtower under the sun. Time ago, this was a country home owned by a wealthy family from Madiera, and when it was renovated into a hotel, three new buildings were added on. The grouping of boxes that now form the hotel complex take full advantage of the sloping grounds to open the building up to ocean’s horizon with windows, terraces and outdoor spaces. In front of the Atlantic there are dinning room tables enclosed in a glass structure conceived by the architect Tiago Oliveira. The pool is like an overflowing cup, creating an impression of harmony between the land and sea. Likewise, the bedrooms also feed from the tireless sunlight on the terraces, which are large and luminous. They feature a minimalist aesthetic and are repeat with domestic details. Looking onward to the sea, alongside a banana grove.

Ponta do Sol is a little town south of Madeira with a population of 8,000 inhabitants lived off its banana trees until recently. The main attraction here is the house of Jean d´Esmenault, a sailor who was with Christopher Columbus for a time while he was studying on the island.
Jardim do Sol, the surf mecca, is just 20 minutes from the hotel.
