The island of Porto Santo belongs to the archipelago of Madeira and it is located 74 km northeast of its capital, Funchal.

It is flatter and drier than Madeira although the warm climate brings a lovely abundance of fruit, plants and flowers.

There are weekly direct flights from the UK. You can also reach Porto Santo via Madeira by plane, by boat or for a more sophisticated transport, by helicopter.

The hotel is located by the beach and a 5-minute ride from Vila Baleira the main town, where streets have a thin layer of golden sand from the beach next to it.

The Porto Santo Golf course, designed by the golf champion Seve Ballesteros, is just 5-minute drive away.
