Key Information
Hotel Vila Galé Santa Cruz sits right on the waterfront in the small town of Santa Cruz, just a few minutes from Madeira Airport. The location is a big plus—you’ve got the ocean in front of you, a seafront promenade for easy walks, and local cafés and restaurants nearby, while Funchal is only about 15 minutes away by car.
The hotel has a modern, practical feel rather than boutique charm, but it’s comfortable and well set up for an easy stay. Rooms are bright and spacious, many with sea views and balconies that make the most of the coastal setting. There’s an outdoor pool overlooking the water, an indoor pool, spa facilities, and a gym, so you’re covered whether you want to relax or keep active. Dining is straightforward, with buffet and à la carte options, plus a bar for evenings. Service is friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe is relaxed and low-key—more about convenience and views than luxury frills.

Rooms are bright, modern, and well sized, with balconies that make the most of the ocean setting. The promenade just outside invites morning walks or an easy stretch after travel.

Great Service!
The deal offered was cheaper than the usual companies that we travel with. Daniel was quick in all his responses and very patient and helpful with our queries.
How to get what you want for your holiday
Very prompt response to our initial enquiry about our golf holiday. Came back later on the same day with a range of options. Lots of information, which made it so easy for us to make a group decision about all aspects of our holiday. Phone calls returned and polite, sociable and courteous staff.

I was dealing with Nick and I found him very helpful. Everything was just perfect and organised to the last minute and so I am going through Nick for next year’s golf holiday.
Dealt with Luis and he really looked after us
Dealt with Luis and he really looked after us, was my first time booking a golf package and everything was great and looked after. I shopped around and GTC were by far the best value as well. I’m only back and I’m booking same package for Feb. Highly recommend thanks again Luis
We have booked with this company... simply really GOOD
We have booked with this company multiple times, both home and abroad. I am not going to write endlessly, but to simply say it would be hard to find better! A particular mention to their representative Nathan who all ways goes the extra mile in an attempt to satisfy or resolve any needs of your group. He is the best!
Second year booking a trip
Second year booking a trip with with Dan at Golf Travel Centre. Really straightforward and happy with the price. We also had a couple of last minute changes on our first trip due to a flight issue and Dan sorted the transfers and managed to get the times amended at the last minute so overall a great service.
Fabulous service as usual!

The team was outstanding & very informative
The team was outstanding & very informative. They gave us good information on alternative hotels, courses, prices and very fast and personal responses.














For golfers, this hotel works well as a practical base with space to unwind. You can head out to Madeira’s courses during the day, then return to sea air, open views, and a quieter town setting. Many guests enjoy the slower evenings here, with relaxed dinners and sunset walks rather than busy nightlife. Being close to the airport keeps transfers easy, while Funchal is close enough for variety when you want it. It suits golfers who value comfort, scenery, and a low key atmosphere between rounds.
