On the peaceful island of Porto Santo, in the Madeira archipelago, we find one of Europe’s most award-winning resorts: the Pestana Porto Santo All-Inclusive & Spa Beach Resort.
With an impressive track record of awards – including six “Europe’s Leading All-Inclusive Resort” awards from the World Travel Awards, this family all-inclusive hotel in Porto Santo has become a benchmark in the sector. Let’s focus on six key aspects that combine excellence, comfort and sustainability – all by the sea.
1 – Dream location
Set overlooking the island’s nine kilometres of golden sands, the resort has direct access to the fine sandy beach and calm waters of the Atlantic. The tranquil atmosphere of the island, often described as one of Portugal’s best-kept secrets, is the epitome of total rest.
2 – All means all
At the Pestana Porto Santo, the all-inclusive concept is taken literally: three restaurants (one buffet and two à la carte), three bars, snacks throughout the day, quality brand drinks, a selection of cocktails and service always available. The main restaurant, which overlooks the gardens and pools, boasts a range of Portuguese and international dishes, while the theme restaurants offer à la carte eating serving Mediterranean flavours and grilled dishes.
In addition to gastronomy, guests have unlimited access to a wide range of features and facilities: two outdoor pools with organic shapes, an indoor pool in the spa, jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish bath, gym, tennis courts and football pitches, as well as a kids club with daily activities for the younger guests.
There are double rooms, family rooms and suites, all spacious, decorated in soft tones and with a balcony or terrace.
With four restaurants and three bars, the Pestana Porto Santo offers a diverse and rich gastronomic offer in an informal and inviting atmosphere.
Villas with swimming pools, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sun in comfort and exclusivity.
3 – Everyone’s included
This is a resort designed for everybody, starting with the type of accommodation. There are double rooms, family rooms and suites, all spacious, decorated in soft colours and with a veranda or terrace. The family suites and rooms with communicating doors are perfect for those guests travelling with children, while the rooms with private jacuzzi or sea view are popular with a romantic getaway. There are also villas for those who are looking for more exclusivity and privacy, with all the benefits of the all-inclusive service.
4 – Natural relaxation
The spa at the Pestana Porto Santo is another major attraction of the resort. With a heated indoor pool, treatment rooms, water jets, massages and well-being therapies, the spa is a peaceful oasis. Many guests opt for treatments that use the local sands, which are recognised for their natural anti-inflammatory qualities.
5 – Sustainability you can sense
In addition to comfort and quality of service, the Pestana Porto Santo also stands out for its commitment to the environment. Holder of the international Green Key certificate, the resort employs key sustainable management practices, in order to reduce energy and water consumption, encourage recycling, promoting local cuisine and greater involvement with the community. Some details, although invisible to guests, make all the difference.
6 – Happy repeat customers
“Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery”, said William Bernbatch. In the hotel business it’s repeat customers. This is very much the case with Pestana Porto Santo, where a significant proportion of our guests have already stayed with us, year after year. They return because of the quality of service, the friendliness of the staff and the elegant simplicity of the island.
