Overview

 
Perched above the Atlantic on Madeira’s dramatic east coast, The Views Oasis combines big-sky ocean vistas with a relaxed, village-like feel. With a palm-fringed promenade, saltwater pools and direct access to a pebble beach, it’s a brilliant base whether you’re travelling as a couple, with friends or bringing the kids along. Spacious studios and suites with kitchenettes, a mellow spa and easy links into Funchal round off a very laidback island escape.

Wake up to wide-open Atlantic views, wander straight down to the pebble shore or linger on the sea-view pool deck as the sky turns orange at sunset. The Views Oasis wraps everything in an easy-going, coastal-promenade setting – think long walks, fresh sea air and the option to dip into the buzz of nearby Funchal when you fancy it. For couples seeking Madeira’s charm, The Views Oasis delivers the perfect balance. It’s 20 minutes from the airport. See more Madeira holidays.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The hotel is all about outdoor living, with two saltwater pools facing the Atlantic and easy access to the shore.

The main outdoor saltwater pool is surrounded by sunbeds and parasols, with a generous terrace for lounging and reading in the sun. A separate heated children’s saltwater pool sits close by, so families can stay together without losing the view. Both pools have dedicated sunbathing areas, and baby-changing facilities are available.

Inside the spa centre you’ll find a heated indoor freshwater pool – a welcome retreat if the weather turns breezy or you prefer a calmer swim.

Stairs and paths from the gardens lead straight down to the pebble beach and promenade, perfect for a bracing dip, snorkelling in clear water, or simply watching the waves. Scuba diving and snorkelling are operated by an external provider (minimum age typically 15 years, extra charges apply).

Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, and facilities or heating may vary by season.

Spa, sports & wellness


Wellness fans can head to Spa The Views Oasis, where you’ll find a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and a menu of massage and beauty treatments (charges apply; spa access and age limits from around 15–16 years). There’s also an on-site hairdresser for holiday cuts or styling.

The compact gym is equipped with cardio machines and a free weights area and is usually open from mid-morning into the evening. For something more leisurely, join a game of petanque, challenge friends at snooker or enjoy a relaxed round of table tennis.

The hotel offers a programme of organised activities and entertainment:

  • Frequent daytime activities in summer (roughly April–October), including arts and crafts, family games and water-based fun.
  • Regular, slightly quieter daytime entertainment in the cooler months (November–March).
  • Year-round evening entertainment with in-house shows, live DJs, live music and professional performances (programme varies).
