Airport Guide

For the majority of travelers heading to Machico, Madeira Airport (FNC) is the primary and most practical gateway, located in the nearby municipality of Santa Cruz rather than Machico itself. It offers efficient, affordable connections via local bus or short taxi rides, making it the most convenient option for international and domestic arrivals alike. In contrast, Porto Santo Airport (PXO) serves the separate island of Porto Santo. Reaching Machico from this airport is significantly more complex, requiring a flight or a combination of ferry and bus travel, which effectively spans a different island entirely. This route is typically only considered by travelers specifically looking to combine a visit to Porto Santo with their Madeira trip. For a seamless experience, choose the airport that aligns with your primary destination island, noting that both are located in neighboring municipalities and require organized onward ground transport to reach the city center of Machico.

This hotel is close to the airport which is fine for us because of the cancellation of our flight back home.
The weather was bad at night with heavy rain and we heated that in our room through the drain of the airconditioning. Which is a bad design and old dated.
Also check-in required a written registration of a credit card including security code on paper which is a very old dated process and prone for fraud.FromUS$138

Great hotel! We really enjoyed our holiday at the hotel. It's a whole city! There's a promenade and several swimming pools. The food is top notch! You can have a buffet, you can go to restaurants, and there's even a coffee shop with delicious coffee! We spent our evenings at the bar, drinking delicious cocktails and dancing. There's a beautiful trail nearby - Cape Sao Lourenco. There's a shuttle to Funchal, which is very convenient. We'll definitely come back again!FromUS$303

There seems to be a small problem with the booking, which is why I was stayed in another hotel. Since it was late in the evening, the hotel owner drived me. That was incredibly nice from him. This is why I can't report so much about this hotel except the friendliness of the staff.FromUS$127
