This excellent hotel overlooks the largest beach in Madeira (approximately 2 km) known as Praia Formosa; the natural rock pools of Doca do Cavacas and some of the many banana plantations you will find in Madeira.

In front of the hotel you will find the Promenade, which is a lovely seaside pedestrian avenue, lined with all the beautiful plants and flowers Madeira is famous for; a wonderful botanical display in bloom all year round. The Prom runs from the Lido area of Funchal to the fishing village of Câmara de Lobos, a lovely and picturesque town made famous by Sir Winston Churchill, who used to paint its harbour during his visits to Madeira.

The Golden Residence enjoys tranquil and beautiful surroundings as well as a central location; for shopping enthusiasts, the newest and most modern shopping centre in Madeira, called the ‘Madeira Forum’ is only 300 metres down the road. Find that special present for your loved ones at any of its many international retailers, or shop for your groceries at the large and fully stocked supermarket. International brands cost around 30% less in Portugal than in Northern Europe. The top floor of the centre boasts a large selection of restaurants, snack bars and fast food outlets.
