Enotel Lido Madeira

 

 

Just a 10-minute drive from Funchal Centre, Enotel Lido Madeira is a relaxing, secluded spot, while still close to the island’s top attractions.

Everything, without exception, was lovely…

…this place is exceptional

…the staff are so pleasant and work hard, the cleanliness was second to none and everywhere was always spotless…

 

 

This is also a great spot to visit if you’re a golfing couple! Golfers get discounts on green fees for two nearby courses, meaning more spending money for holiday drinks and snacks of course. Back at the hotel there are plenty of sports and activities to keep you busy too. There’s a jam packed activity programme, where you can get involved in things like aqua aerobics, table football, billiards and much more! Of course, there’s also the fantastic main pool, which has a beautiful sea view terrace. 

 

 

If you prefer a more chilled out vibe to your holiday instead of breaking a sweat, then the Enotel Lido Madeira offers this too! There’s a relaxing indoor pool, which is heated, and perfect for a peaceful swim if you’d like a break from the sunshine. At the Spa Moments, you can relax with a sauna, Turkish bath or massage. There’s a saltwater floating pool, a beauty salon offering facials, massages, and a fully equipped gym.
