Best Beach Hotels in Porto Santo

Madeira and Porto Santo are the only populated islands that make up Madeira, an archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean, just off the west coast of Africa, first colonised by Portugal in the 15th century.

Surrounded by turquoise waters, Porto Santo has 9 kilometres / 6 miles of golden sand beaches and an arid, volcanic moonscape, quite different from Madeira’s lush subtropical island.

To maximize sunbathing and wave watching, stay in oceanfront accommodations, where else? Here are the best beach hotel options in Porto Santo, further broken in all-inclusive resorts and hotels with buffet breakfast included.
