Pestana Royal Premium All Inclusive Ocean & Spa Resort

Pestana Royal Premium All Inclusive Ocean & Spa Resort is a five-star all-inclusive resort at Estrada Monumental 275-277, along the main coastal road through the Lido and São Martinho hotel zone of Funchal, Madeira. The Estrada Monumental links the western resorts with the centre of the city, and the Lido promenade, the Praia Formosa area and the old town are all within a short taxi or bus journey. Funchal's airport is around 20 kilometres to the east. The all-inclusive format sets the resort apart on an island where most hotels sell bed and breakfast or half board, and it appeals to guests who prefer to pay for meals and drinks in a single package. Rooms are sold as classic, standard, deluxe and superior categories, with minibars and a garden setting that gives the grounds a sheltered, green character. Leisure facilities include an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, a spa with a sauna and Turkish steam bath, a fitness centre and a kids club, so the resort serves both couples seeking relaxation and families with young children. Dining under the all-inclusive plan typically covers buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner, with snacks and drinks served during the day; guests should check the hotel's current board terms for the exact scope of restaurants and bars included. The garden gives space to rest outdoors, which is useful in the island's mild climate. Service is resort-style, with organised leisure options and support for excursions to destinations such as Cabo Girão, the Botanical Garden and levada trails. The hillside location means that walking into central Funchal is possible but involves a climb on the way back, so many guests use taxis or buses. The resort suits guests who want a simple, fully catered stay with spa access and family facilities, rather than those who plan to eat out in the city every evening.
