TURIM Santa Maria is a new 4-star hotel, which was officially opened in Funchal in October 2019. We have visited the hotel twice and we would love to share with you some of our pictures.
TURIM Santa Maria: The youngest 4-star hotel on the island?
TURIM Santa Maria is probably the youngest hotel on the island – it was officially opened in last month. It is the first Madeira hotel opened by the Turim Group.
Many of you, Portugal lovers might already be familiar with the Turim Brand, as it already owns more than 10 hotels in Lisbon, 3 hotels in Algarve as well as hotels in Azeitão, Porto, Sintra, Coimbra, and the Azores.
TURIM Santa Maria has 92 rooms, all with magnificent views. There is a roof pool and a top-floor restaurant. The hotel is very modern and comfortable. One of the eye-catchers on the reception floor is the big, vertical green wall.
The central location is one of its stronger points: It is located on a walking distance from the Old Town of Funchal and the centre of the city.

During our first visit, I received a private tour of the hotel. I was really impressed with the modern design, and I adored the rooftop bar & restaurant. The rooftop of the TURIM Santa Maria hotel offers an interesting view on the city of Funchal. From there you have a great view on the cable car to Monte and you are able to trace the cable car movements from the cable car station by the seaside all the way to the Monte hill.
TURIM Santa Maria is a beautiful hotel, recommended to all visitors looking for a modern and comfortable, convenient, centrally located hotel offering beautiful views on Funchal.
