About Hotel Sentido Galomar

The Sentido Galomar is an adult-friendly hotel set in an exquisite location, built into the cliffs of Caniço. It offers an enviable position and breath-taking sea-views. Enjoy days lounging by the outdoor salt water pool or heading down to the bathing platform (not adult-only) where you have direct access to the sea, relax and enjoy the sound of waves lapping against the rocks – is there anything more perfect?

Having undergone a recent renovation the Galomar has been transformed into a modern yet comfortable hotel that’s warm and welcoming. You’ll find a spa onsite where you can enjoy treatments and massages (payable locally), perfect for soothing tired legs after exploring the Levadas of Madeira. There’s an outdoor salt water pool that sits on the cliff-top looking out towards the Atlantic Ocean and is a great spot to watch the sunset. There’s also the unique addition of a seawater pool at the bottom of the cliffs at Lido Galomar bathing platform with direct access to the sea.

Its not often that a hotel resort is situated in an underwater nature reserve, the ocean in this area is beautiful and these waters are some of most protected in Portugal and are therefore full of marine life. Being an eco certified hotel means they recognise the importance of protecting biodiversity, as well as empowering local communities. It generates its own energy via solar panels and displays live energy usage figures for guests in every room.
Its aims include reducing water and chemical use, reducing food waste, planting island endemic species and informing guests about how to respect the local environment. It also supports local charities, including donating 50 meals a week to a homeless support centre.

Discover Canico

  • A peaceful village, great for those wanting to escape the city
  • Wander down to the cliffs of Caniço with their beautiful ocean views
  • Catch the bus to Funchal for a day of exploring the city

If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful, scenic and effortlessly relaxing, Caniço might just be your perfect holiday. This laid-back village combines coastal beauty, local charm and easy access to nature. It’s quieter and more low-key than the capital, Funchal, but still close enough for a spontaneous day trip, and ideal for those who want to explore the island at a gentler pace.

Caniço is the kind of place where you wake up to sea views, wander down to the cliffs with a coffee in hand, and spend the day walking in the hills or paddling in the Atlantic. Whether you’re drawn by the famous Levada trails, tempted by snorkelling and diving in the crystal-clear waters of the Garajau marine reserve, or just after a sunny spot to read a book, Caniço offers a wonderfully flexible holiday. And when evening rolls around, you’ll find a small but lovely choice of restaurants and local spots to unwind in.
