In the small seaside resort of Calheta and across the seafront promenade from the beach, modern style, all inclusive Calheta Beach Hotel offers attractive accommodation including spacious apartments which are ideal for families.

Guest bedrooms are presented in warm colours and each has a private balcony with either mountain or sea views. Should you choose to upgrade your stay to a suite you'll benefit from separate sleeping and living spaces. Some suites also feature a kitchenette, handy for younger families.

The Calheta Restaurant is the go-to selection for buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. At Onda Azul, the richness of Madeiran cuisine meets inspirations from around the world offering a delicious, fusion à la carte experience. For snacks and refreshments by the pool choose Por Do Sol.

The outdoor pool is a delightful spot to while away sunny days, and the sandy manmade beach is mere footsteps from the hotel, as is the marina. There's a small spa with a couple of treatment rooms, sauna, Turkish bath and heated indoor pool and a fully equipped, bijou gym.

There's a daily programme of activities and entertainment, a shuttle service to and from Funchal daily and for children, a mini club and small outdoor pool.
