Galomar Resort

Sentido Galomar — the adults-only wing of the Galo Resort — occupies a privileged position on top of the cliffs at Ponta da Oliveira, Caniço de Baixo. Built with photovoltaic panels, guest energy monitoring and endemic-plant gardens, it holds the Green Key certification and stands as a reference for sustainable stays on Madeira's south coast.

Below the cliff lies Lido Galomar, the resort's ocean bathing complex carved into the volcanic shore, with seawater pools, a sun deck and direct Atlantic access — and the base of Manta Diving at the edge of the Garajau underwater nature reserve.

Highlights of the stay:

• Adults only (16+): Sea-water pool, garden, solarium and terraces reserved for grown-up quiet.
• Ashoka Spa: Panoramic ocean-view saunas, indoor heated pool, massage and treatments.
• Active by the ocean: Yoga and meditation studio, plus diving, kayak and hiking through the Galo Resort's activity partners.

Breakfast is served at the oceanfront Atlantis restaurant; additional restaurants, bars and the sports club of Sentido Galosol are open to Galomar guests. Caniço centre is about 2.5 km away, Funchal 12 km, and the airport a 15-minute drive.
