Named for its location, Estreito da Calheta is a stunning, contemporary villa poised on the ocean edge in Madeira. Located three kilometres from the resort town of Calheta and a five-minute drive from the two surfing meccas of Jardim do Mar and Paul do Mar, the location is fantastic, and the villa is exemplary! Madeira offers a stunning mountainous emerald island, bordered by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, becoming an ever-popular holiday spot for travellers from all over the world, and this villa is a great base to explore all that beauty.
As you arrive, this sleek single-storey villa, poised dramatically by the cliff edge, welcomes you in. Floor-to-ceiling picture windows frame the breath-taking sea views, with white walls and sleek furnishings letting natural light bounce around the interior spaces. There is a sense of tranquillity in every room, particularly the large open-plan living area, which boasts sliding glass doors that ease open to create an indoor/outdoor living space where family and friends can come together. This long open-plan living area boasts both sitting and dining areas as well as a social, fully equipped kitchen. At one end, there is a fun games area with a billiards table and a PlayStation 4, whilst the other end plays host to the kitchen with a fabulous island and breakfast bar where you can all gather.
All the four bedrooms offer contemporary en-suites with rainfall showers and breathtakingly beautiful views out to the sea. Two of the bedrooms boast luxurious king-size beds, and the other two offer comfy twin beds, perfect for families or groups of friends. All of the indoor living spaces are fully air-conditioned, keeping you comfortable even on the hottest days.
Fames for its warm climate that never drops below 19ºC, we imagine you will be spending much of your time outdoors! Estreito da Calheta certainly does not disappoint, with the elegance of the interiors spilling out across the terrace and into the superb ten-metre infinity-style pool. Furnished with outdoor dining tables, a built-in barbecue, and sunbeds around the pool deck, it is impossible not to relax in this sublime space.Named for its location, this breath-taking villa is located in the quiet area of Estreito da Calheta, three kilometres from the resort town of Calheta and a five-minute drive from the two surfing meccas of Jardim do Mar and Paul do Mar. In the nearby area, there are a few delights for guests, with the trendy rum bar Pukik just a short walk away and two small cafés, Café 99 and Navalnica, around 800m away. A little further afield, yet still within easy reach, Funchal, the capital, is an easy 35-minute drive and the airport less than 50 minutes along the motorway.
Whilst the majority of Madeira's coastline is made up of pebble beaches, there is a beautiful man-made golden beach nearby in Calheta. Popular with tourists and locals alike, the marina at Calheta is alive with activity, and there are plenty of choices when it comes to bars and restaurants. Alongside the eateries, there is a larger supermarket, as well as banks and a chemist. From the marina, you can easily arrange boat trips and activities during you stay, exploring this emerald Isle from both land and sea. Calheta is also famous for producing the best white rum 'Aguadente', a special ingredient of the typical Madeiran drink 'Poncha'. If you fancy an alternative experience during your stay and are interested in knowing how the white rum is made, we recommend a tour of the 'Engenho da Calheta' the rum distillery where you can wander around and sample the produce.
Whilst these days visitors are drawn in by the warm climate, beaches, and gastronomy, in the past, Madeira was better known as a stop for explorers. Found several hundred kilometres west of the African coast, Madeira was the first island to be discovered by Portuguese navigators in 1419 and quickly became an important resting place on the long trip to the new world. Nowadays, visitors can come to enjoy all the charm and culture created by the rich history of this mountainous emerald island, bordered by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream.
