You could never tire of the ever-changing sea views from the private suntrap balcony of this exquisite apartment set in the pretty village of Reis Magos. Adored for its charming promenade and postcard-pretty pebble beach with crystal-clear waters for swimming (just one kilometre away), the pace of life is slower here than its neighbouring cousins, Caniço (five minutes by car) and a smidge further, Funchal – which is just how we like things. Soak up authentic Madeiran life within its charming streets, dotted with restaurants and bars, all just a few minutes from your door.

Back home, this place is all about alfresco living. Sunny mornings call for lazy breakfasts and endless rounds of coffee on that suntrap balcony with jaw-dropping views. But if the weather doesn’t behave (unlikely) those sea views are just as impressive curled up on those butter-soft leather sofas inside. A great choice for extended family or friends sharing, each bedroom offers up wonderful views and there are marble-clad bathrooms to kickstart your day when it’s time to get up and at 'em.

Hidden away in a quiet residential area of Garajau lies this beautiful little apartment, surrounded by vibrant local flora and with everything you need to make the most of your Portuguese holiday. Sit out on the private balcony to enjoy your morning coffee and plan your day as you look out toward the glittering ocean, or get some last-minute work done at the dining table. With full access to the private garden, complete with a terrace and sun loungers, let the kids play on the grass as you catch some vitamin D on the sun loungers with a good book and a cold drink.

You'll find yourself in the coastal town of Caniço, within walking distance of the Cristo Rei statue on the coast. Spend a day shopping around Funchal, a short car ride away, or visit the cultural attractions, whether at the marina or in the city centre. For those wanting a fun-filled holiday without sacrificing the ability to go home and get some peace and quiet in the evening, this place is ideal.

Set a five-minute drive from the basalt stones of Reis Magos Beach, this homely apartment is the perfect base for short sojourns and longer stays on Madeira’s south coast. Inside, soothing neutral tones take precedence – expect whitewashed walls, polished wood floors and greige textiles. The kitchen has everything you need for rustling up Portuguse-inspired dishes – enjoy your meals on the terrace with unfettered Atlantic Ocean views. 

After planning your itinerary from the comfort of the sofa, head out and explore your surroundings. Funchal, the island’s capital, is around a fifteen-minute drive away. Enjoy a moment of stillness in Santa Catarina Park before strolling around the charming Zona Velha. If you’d prefer to stay closer to home, check out the clifftop Cristo Rei monument.

The Edge of Time

Patio / Terrace

This home near Caniço is in a quiet part of the island, yet only a five-minute drive from all the shops and restaurants you could need. Set over three floors to make the most of the sea views to the rear, it's a smart, modern home with plenty of space for a group of up to six. The living area is bright and minimalist, with a comfy sofa and a few fun furnishings that younger guests might enjoy, while the bedrooms are cool and white, with stylish touches and comfy beds. The master gets a private balcony with fabulous views, and even the spacious dining room, set just off the kitchen, has its own balcony where you can sit with your cup of coffee each morning before the rest of the gang gets up. But the main attraction here is the large sun terrace just off the lounge. With a built-in barbecue, dining table and sun loungers, you could easily spend all day out here.

A View So Blue

Looking for a home with a dazzling sea view in Madeira? Then this newly renovated apartment set in the postcard-pretty seaside village of Reis Magos, fringing Funchal should do very nicely. A perfect choice for families and friends chasing a quieter side of Madeira life, there's a charming promenade and blue-flag pebble beach (just one kilometre away) that's perfect for swimming thanks to its crystal-clear waters. And you'll never go hungry here with a cluster of seafront eateries serving the freshest seafood imaginable, and plenty of bars and restaurants dotted about the village's charming streets. Or, if you're after something a little buzzier, there's always nearby Caniço (five minutes by car) and, a smidge further, Funchal.

Back home, you'll love this light-filled home's fresh and inviting interiors. But the clincher for us has to be that panoramic sea-facing balcony accessed from the main bedroom and living space. And if you're impressed now, imagine this spot at sunset with the boats bobbing back into shore. Rustle yourselves up some Poncha sundowners (you're on holiday, after all) and settle down for golden hour – it's quite the show.

Atlantic Pearl

Rain Shower

Vacuum Cleaner

Located in a quiet residential street in Garajau, this modern home has fabulous Atlantic Ocean views from its balcony. It's our favourite spot here, along with the pretty, private garden – relax with a glass of wine and totally unwind. You can enjoy the vistas from the living room, too, with its potted plants, giving this place a homely vibe. 

Funchal is around a ten-minute drive away if you prefer to go exploring. The capital of Madeira has a backdrop of beautiful hills, creating an atmospheric setting. The city is known for its harbour, Funchal Cathedral, tropical gardens and Madeira wine cellars. Other attractions include the São Tiago Fortress, which was built in the early 17th century and now houses the Contemporary Art Museum.

Set on a cliffside above Garajou beach and Canico's famous Christ the Redeemer statue, this luxurious villa offers panoramic ocean views. Boasting a sparkling swimming pool surrounded by leafy palm trees and lush green grass, you'll have your own private oasis here to enjoy slow mornings drinking coffee and lounging by the water. This home has everything you need to have fun with the whole family, thanks to a games room complete with a pool table and a PlayStation, should you fancy a break from the Madeiran sun. If you're keen to get out and explore (and we highly recommend you do), take a cable car to the beautiful beach and swim in the crystal clear sea. 

However you spend your days, dinner time will always be something to look forward to. Experiment with your favourite local flavors and cook alfresco feasts on the built-in barbecue, then tuck in on the terrace. Make sure you catch the sunset from the balcony, preferably with a glass of fizz in hand. 

The Canico Cliffs

Parking On Street

Balcony / Patio

Stay in the charming seaside town of Canico de Baixo, not too far from Funchal. Enjoy the best of both worlds from your enviable location – lazy days on the pristine beaches, and nights in the bustling capital city. It's not just the location that makes this apartment special. The tiled balcony presents you with an awe-inspiring view of the Atlantic Ocean, stretching far beyond what the eye can see. 

Savour those laidback mornings of reading, coffees, pastries and fresh fruit at your balcony table, with the salty sea breeze hanging in the air. After a day of exploring, be sure to make it home for dusk – nothing beats watching the fiery sun lower into the sea, a glass of Madeiran wine in hand.

Days can be spent lounging on the nearby beaches – Reis Magos beach is just a five-minute drive away – and exploring the old village of terracotta-roofed houses. No trip to Madeira is complete without a hike or two – when you're among such a gorgeous landscape, you'll be itching to see it up close.

Perched on a clifftop overlooking rolling ocean swells, this spectacular villa offers a breathtaking location, awe-inspiring 180-degree views and easy access to all the amenities you could need for an unforgettable stay on the Pearl of the Atlantic.

On entry, you'll be greeted by an open layout living area with several seating areas, a stylish dining table, and jaw-dropping panoramas, courtesy of double sliding doors that lead out onto a balcony that gives you the feeling of being suspended above the sea. Elsewhere, leather sofas set up around a fireplace offer a lavish location to relax on cooler evenings, while the wicker set is best placed to make the most of the scenery.

Thanks to its south-facing aspect, you can look forward to long sun-soaked days lounging by the pool, cooking in the outdoor kitchen, and eating on the terrace. And once you've had enough of topping up your tan for the day, there's a vast games room on the lower level, complete with a Playstation, pool table, table tennis and table football – plenty to keep everyone entertained throughout the day. Alternatively, keep up with your regular fitness routine in the on-site gym, which features a cross-trainer, exercise bike, weights and yoga mats for that all-important post-session warm-down.

On your doorstep, the quiet residential neighbourhood of Garajau guarantees a peaceful stay. Follow the path down the hill to the statue of Christ. It bears more than a passing resemblance to Rio's iconic Christ the Redeemer, though it actually predates it by four years. From here, board the cable car for a gravity-defying ride down the cliff to the pebble beach, which offers a stunning spot to swim in the sea or enjoy a bite to eat in the seafront restaurant.

For a greater choice of eateries, plus boutiques and museums, the compact capital of Funchal is a ten-minute drive, while Palheiro Golf Course offers challenging terrain to novices and veterans alike, approximately 10km away.





The Endless Blue

Shared Pool

Paid Parking On Street

It's been said that this modern apartment near Caniço has one of the best views in this part of the island – and we can quite see why. Bright, spacious and thoughtfully designed, it's a perfect choice if you're keen to stay in a quieter area on the coast, but still within easy reach of Funchal. Just fifteen minutes from the airport, it's got everything you need – from super comfy beds and a parking space to a shared outdoor pool. And vistas like these deserve a balcony so you'll be pleased to hear there's not one but two here. One is reached via one of the bedrooms and is the perfect spot for sunbathing, while the other is set up for dining alfresco. Even the kitchen manages to look out over the ocean, so a breakfast bar has been cleverly built into a nook with windows to three sides – just imagine sitting here with your morning cup of coffee. It's just a short walk or a five-minute drive into the centre of Caniço, with all its shops and restaurants, and roughly the same to Reis Magos Beach.

Gaze For Days

Situated in the residential neighbourhood of Garajau, this home has wonderful views of the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy the vistas with a glass of Madeira on the private balcony or from the modern living room. This place is ideal for friends or families as there’s a shared children’s play area, ideal for keeping the kids entertained.

The district has restaurants, shops and supermarkets, and there is a small trail for your morning walks right next to the Cristo-Rei monument. When you fancy a day at the beach, there’s one within a five-minute stroll from the apartment or explore nearby Funchal, a ten-minute drive away. There are plenty of attractions to see here, including Funchal Cathedral, the harbour, tropical gardens and Madeira wine cellars. Or art lovers can head to the São Tiago Fortress, which was built in the early 17th century and now houses the Contemporary Art Museum.

It feels as though you could float away at this contemporary villa sitting right on the cliff edge in Garajau. You'll smell the salty air as soon as you arrive, with views of the Atlantic being this home's focal point. Inside, it's a chic space with plenty of room to enjoy each other's company. There's a brightness to the open living space, thanks to the sea reflecting on the cool white walls, and a fabulous double-height ceiling with two seating areas. Wall to wall glass opens the rear of the home to the outdoor terrace, allowing indoor and outdoor living to blend as seamlessly as the sea and the sky. Spend your days by the private pool or exploring the nearby area before heading home to rustle up a meal in the glossy, high spec kitchen and enjoy long, lazy meals as the sun goes down.
