The new 5 star Pestana Grand Ocean Resort Hotel is the latest and most prestigious project of the Pestana Group on Madeira, located on an impressive headland, the 'Ponta da Cruz' overlooking the town, the Ocean and the spectacular cliff 'Cabo Girão' - just a short drive to Funchal centre.

Here, you can enjoy breathtaking views over the ocean and - if you are early enough - the most spectacular Madeiran sunrises while having breakfast . In the evenings, you are spoiled with unequalled sunsets towards 'Cabo Girão' whilst sipping an ice-cold 'Gin & Tonic' on your balcony or the bar terrace.

Especially designed to reflect and enhance its surroundings and to provide the guests with the most outstanding views, the exceptional Pestana Grand Ocean Resort Hotel is set in 5,000 sq. m of beautiful and extensive tropical gardens, featuring tall palms, lawns and exotic rock gardens, and it boasts the largest seawater outdoor pool complex on the island.

The outstanding outdoor pool complex with several palm-tree planted islets, an attractive convex wooden bridge and a big thatched band stand covers more than 1000 sq. m and is supplied with seawater that is extracted directly from the sea below the cliff. The swimming pools are surrounded by spacious sunbathing areas, equipped with deck chairs (parasols and towels provided free of charge), extensive gardens featuring many tall palms and lawns, giant planted terracotta pots as well as exotic rock gardens, one of which has an outlook platform with benches and a giant chess game.

The Pestana Grand spa complex is one of the leading health & fitness venues in Madeira. The fitness area is equipped with a gymnasium, sauna, Jacuzzi, Turkish bath and an indoor swimming pool that has fitted jet streams to add a little more exercise to your swim. The wellness area includes 4 treatment rooms providing a wide range of skin care programs and massages using the latest treatment methods to enhance your well-being.

Other facilities at the pool level are a library & cigar lounge, a leisure lounge, a games room and a hairdresser. In the impressive lobby you will also find a souvenir shop and an Internet access area.
