Hotel Torre Praia

Madeira and Porto SantoPorto Santo › Vila Baleira

Situated on the edge of Porto Santo's main village, Vila Baleira, this popular beachfront hotel is ideal for guests wishing to have easy access to local restaurants.

Being situated not only directly on Porto Santo's stunning sandy beach, but also just an easy three-minute stroll from the island's main village, Vila Baleira, this attractive, low-rise hotel is perfectly placed for anyone seeking a truly relaxing seaside holiday. The hotel takes its name from an old stone tower - a remnant of a cement factory that once stood here, hard as it may be to believe that in days gone by anyone saw fit to build a factory in such an idyllic spot!

Carefully restored, the tower has been cleverly integrated into the hotel's design and today forms the centrepiece of the spacious open-plan lobby.

With just over 60 rooms, the Torre Praia is large enough to offer a good range of facilities, yet small enough to retain a friendly and very informal atmosphere. Situated just above the beach is a kidney-shaped freshwater swimming pool surrounded by a sun terrace, and the airy restaurant also looks straight out onto the beach and the ocean. For those keen on keeping fit whilst on holiday, there is a fitness centre with an excellent gym, a squash court, a sauna and a jacuzzi on the hotel's lower floor, available to guests at a reduced rate.

Decorated in a contempory style, the rooms are bright and cheerful and each has a balcony or terrace, most of which have a side sea view. All are equipped with air-conditioning, cable TV, minibar, telephone, safety deposit box and hairdryer.

As the hotel is within easy walking distance of Vila Baleira, the charming island capital, those who enjoy trying out different local restaurants can opt to just have the extensive buffet breakfast included, whilst for those who prefer to have everything laid on we also offer the option of half board.
