The Cliff Bay

The Cliff Bay Hotel is one of the most highly praised properties in Funchal, with guests returning year-on-year to enjoy the personalised and impeccable service, spacious bedrooms and the wonderful, uninterrupted ocean views.

As expressed by its name, the Cliff Bay is located on a natural promontory and from its elevated position the ocean stretches for miles and miles before your eyes. This dramatic cliff top setting can be appreciated from the bedrooms, gardens and swimming pool.
