Meet Me at Dusk

For gorgeous views, this cheerful apartment is sure to catch your eye. It’s the perfect choice for a couple seeking a coastal retreat, while also being steps away from the centre of Funchal’s winding cobbled streets, historical sights, and charming local spots.

The contemporary and sleek living space makes for a wonderful base in Funchal, providing everything you need for a comfortable stay. From the inviting bedroom to the well-equipped kitchen, feeling at home will come with ease. And with such a gorgeous view, you won’t want to leave. Start your days by opening your bedroom curtains to reveal the morning light dancing on the Pacific Ocean, before stepping out in the sun and feeling the glow on your face. Savour your morning coffee while tucking into a fresh pastry, before heading out to explore.

Your lovely host has a wealth of knowledge on the area and is happy to share recommendations off the beaten path. But if it’s simply total relaxation you seek, the Lido Swimming Complex is just 500 metres away. Here, you can soak up the sun, take a dip in the pool, while enjoying the glittering sea vista. Then, walk hand-in-hand down the Lido Promenade before stopping at a waterfront bar for a drink with a view.

Make sure to be home in time for sunset – nothing beats watching the fiery sun dip into the Pacific Ocean, a glass of local wine in hand. When talk turns to food, your kitchen is perfectly equipped to whip up a romantic meal for two, which will taste even better alfresco. If cooking isn’t on the agenda, you’ll find an array of mouth-watering restaurants just 300 metres away.
