Overview

Simple, modern and gloriously serene, Sentido Galomar is the adults-only slice of paradise you’ve been dreaming of. Set on Madeira’s sunny south coast, this chic retreat combines contemporary style with shimmering sea views and access to world-class facilities shared with the neighbouring hotel, family-friendly Sentido Galosoll. Picture luxe spas with ocean-view saunas, a swish sea-water pool and endless adventures to be had with zen yoga, coastal swimming and hikes across Madeira’s rugged headlands. Two restaurants and two stylish bars on the complex – including a poolside gem – make this the perfect place to recharge and reconnect in pure tranquillity.

Perched high above the glinting Atlantic below, Sentido Galomar promises prime access to the treasures of Madeira. Just two miles from the hotel lies the charming coastal town of Canico. Here, you can meander through botanical gardens bursting with flora, marvel at the Cristo Rei Viewpoint or catch a ride on the Garaiau Cable Car down to a secluded stretch of sands. If you fancy something a little livelier, escape to Madeira’s vibrant capital Funchal, only eight miles away. Brimming with history, glimpse the gloriously Gothic Funchal Cathedral or discover the collection of contemporary art inside the walls of the 16th Century Sao Tiago Fortress. End the day dining down at Funchal Marina, ten miles from your hotel. The rugged trails and wondrous wildlife of Ponta de Sao Lourenco await lovers of nature, just 15 miles north-east along the coast. Meanwhile, golfers can swing by not one, but two world-class courses within a ten-mile radius – Palheiro Golf Course and Santo da Serra Golf Club. Madeira International Airport is located approximately six and a half miles from the hotel.

Fresh, bright and inviting, the rooms at Sentido Galomar are simplicity made chic. The decor whispers relaxation with clean lines, soft natural hues and pops of turquoise, green and muted yellows. Wood-style flooring and blond wood accents lend a modern, organic feel, while the views – lush gardens or rolling waves – are simply stunning. When it’s time to unwind, you’ll find each room comes equipped with contemporary comforts, including a 40-inch smart TV, complimentary Wi-Fi and a spa-like rain shower

Other facilities

The facilities are wonderful, too, with options for the lazy loungers and those on the go. Bask in the serenity of the only private beach in the Garajay Underwater Nature Reserve or stay situated poolside and savour a swim in the adults-only oasis. Framed by stone terraces, fronted by a glass balcony overlooking the Atlantic and lined with beds, it’s a sunbather’s haven. The Sentido Galomar spa is pure indulgence, complete with four saunas – including Bio and Finnish – and steam bath. When you need to cool off, try the ice bucket shower for an icy thrill. Up the zen, too, with Ayurveda treatments and massages, sure to leave you floating on air.

If the sea breeze beckons, head to the Lido Galomar for stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and snorkelling along the shoreline. Fill your days with guided experiences, from hiking trips and squash tournaments to Ayurveda wellness retreats, while live music and themed dinners light up your nights.

You’ll also enjoy access to facilities of the neighbouring Sentido Galosol. The Galo Active Health Club spans a jaw-dropping 710 m2, boasting squash courts, a multisport area and heated indoor pool. You’ll also find an additional gym set-up, Pilates studio and yoga space overlooking the sea. There’s even an indoor jogging track and a cross-training room packed with equipment. If that’s not enough, three more pools and a sports shop await, too.

Dining information

Start your day or wind down your evenings at Ondamar Restaurant. Perched on a panoramic sun terrace with beautiful rolling wave vistas, you can enjoy breezy breakfasts and themed buffet dinners. Dishes celebrate international flavours with a regional twist, and the drinks menu offers plenty of refreshments. For something extra special, book a table at Atlantis Restaurant, an a la carte gem suspended cliffside. Warm, modern interiors and an exposed rock wall add to its allure, while it’s Madeira-inspired menu is served alongside showstopping ocean views.

If you’re feeling thirsty, the Blue Bar, nestled poolside in the Sentido Galosol, is your go-to for drinks and cocktails under the sun. Head to the Capoeira Lounge in the Lido Galomar, for a quirky yet cosy hangout with organic-shaped seating, a wooden terrace and views of the endless Atlantic. Enjoy light snacks, chilled tipples and live music – plus, all the major sporting evenings playing in the background.

All half-board guests will also enjoy a dine around credit to be used at the a la carte Atlantis Restaurant (subject to availability and reservations required).
