Location & Accessibility

Portobay Santa Maria is located alongside Rua de Santa Maria, an historic street known for its art and culture, and is just 2 minutes from São Tiago Beach. Transportation options include local bus routes and the Funchal cable car, providing access to the wider area.

“In my opinion, this adults-only hotel stands out for its prime location in Funchal's Old Town, putting guests steps away from Rua de Santa Maria's vibrant atmosphere. I especially like the rooftop jacuzzi offering exclusive views and the balconies in every room. The hotel's dedication to live music and thematic dining creates a unique social experience, distinguishing it from typical resorts.”
