A Cliffside Legend in the Heart of Funchal

Pestana Carlton Madeira sits in a prime spot just outside Funchal’s city centre, right on the Atlantic with direct sea access and wide ocean views. It’s a large, established hotel with a traditional feel rather than a boutique look—comfortable, dependable, and well suited to relaxed breaks.

Rooms are spacious and well kept, many with balconies overlooking the sea or gardens. The style is classic rather than modern, but everything is designed for comfort and ease. Facilities are a strong point: two outdoor pools, an indoor pool, a full spa, gym, and several bars spread across the complex, so it never feels crowded. There are both à la carte and buffet options for dining, and the service is professional and welcoming without being overly formal.

Location-wise, it’s an easy walk or short taxi ride into Funchal’s marina, old town, shops, and restaurants, making it a practical base if you want to explore Madeira while still enjoying a resort-style stay. Overall, it’s a solid choice for travellers who value space, sea views, and convenience over cutting-edge design.

Key Information

Expect a stay that feels calm, spacious, and comfortably familiar. Check in is efficient, public areas are generous, and the oceanfront setting immediately sets a relaxed tone. Rooms are well sized and quiet, with balconies that make the most of the sea views and Atlantic light.

Days tend to unfold at an easy pace, split between the pools, spa, or walks along the coastline. Getting into Funchal is simple, so it’s easy to mix sightseeing with downtime back at the hotel. Evenings are low key, with varied dining and plenty of spots for a quiet drink. Service is friendly, professional, and reliable throughout.

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.
