Aqua Natura Madeira

★★★★☆

Seafront Hotel

Madeira, Portugal

Overlooking Porto Moniz’s famous natural pools, Aqua Natura Madeira blends Atlantic views, modern comfort, and Madeira’s dramatic northern coastline.

About the hotel

Located in the picturesque village of Porto Moniz on Madeira’s spectacular north coast, Aqua Natura Madeira enjoys one of the island’s most privileged seafront settings. Positioned directly above the world-famous volcanic natural swimming pools, the hotel offers uninterrupted Atlantic Ocean views while being surrounded by the lush Laurissilva Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Opened in 2014, the hotel combines contemporary architecture with elegant interiors inspired by the surrounding ocean. Large windows, private balconies, and bright, minimalist spaces maximise the spectacular coastal scenery, creating a relaxing atmosphere throughout the property.

The hotel features 25 recently renovated sea-view rooms, alongside a panoramic restaurant, rooftop wellness area with jacuzzi, sauna, solarium, fitness centre, massage services, and direct access to Porto Moniz’s natural pools just steps away. Guests also enjoy complimentary access to selected facilities at the nearby Aqua Natura Bay sister property.

What truly sets Aqua Natura Madeira apart is its extraordinary location. Few hotels in Madeira place guests so close to the island’s iconic volcanic pools while combining oceanfront relaxation with easy access to hiking trails, marine activities, and the island’s dramatic northern landscapes.

Today, Aqua Natura Madeira is ideal for couples, nature lovers, road-trippers, wellness travellers, and anyone seeking a peaceful oceanfront base to explore Madeira’s wild northern coast.

Creator experience

“Few places have made me feel as connected to the ocean as Aqua Natura Hotels Madeira. Nestled between dramatic cliffs and the Atlantic, the scenery is breathtaking in every direction, with the island’s lush mountains rising behind the hotel. Watching the sun set over the sea from here was one of the most unforgettable moments of my time in Madeira, making this a destination I would return to without hesitation.”
