Overview

Nestled in the stunning eastern region of Canical, Dreams Madeira Resort Spa & Marina is the perfect escape for couples, families and groups of friends alike. This all-inclusive resort features seven international gourmet restaurants, five bars, a cafe and an ice cream parlour. Enjoy private beach access or relax in one of four swimming pools – including a serene adult-only pool.

The resort’s exclusive location removes you from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, while remaining close enough to explore when you’re in the mood for sightseeing. Head about 20 miles south-west along the coast to reach Portugal’s scenic capital, Funchal, which is renowned for its stunning bay, framed by scenic green mountains. Wander through the heart of the town as you get lost in its labyrinth of vibrant cobblestone streets, where you can stop for food or drinks at one of the many charming eateries. A relaxing stroll along the Jardins do Lido is a must, if you travel 22 miles south-west of the resort. This stunning seafront promenade offers unforgettable views of Portugal’s eastern coast, stretching from Praia Formosa to Camara de Lobos. Another must-visit spot is the Laurisilva of Madeira, Portugal’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site. Situated approximately 34 miles west, this incredible forest dates back to the Tertiary Period and showcases an exceptional array of the region’s native fauna and flora. Madeira Airport is located a convenient eight miles from the resort.

Each of the resort's rooms and suites are meticulously curated to provide the perfect environment for relaxation. Boasting traditional Madeiran architecture and elegant interior design, with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean from a furnished balcony or terrace, you'll have everything you need for the perfect stay. Upgrade to a Preferred Club room to take your holiday to the next level. Experience an upgraded suite with privileged access to the exclusive Preferred Club Lounge, personalised concierge service and a range of premium amenities.
