Boutique adults-only hideaway in Ponta do Sol with a year-round ocean-view infinity pool
Infinity Pool & Outdoor Facilities
Escarpa - The Madeira Hideaway has a year-round infinity pool with a counter-current system and views over the Atlantic Ocean. A hot tub/Jacuzzi is available on site, and the sun terrace supplies loungers, beach chairs, and umbrellas. The property also has a garden and outdoor furniture.
Rooms & Villas
The hotel's 13 rooms and villas are set in hillside houses, each with a private bathroom, kitchenette, bathrobes, and a private outdoor deck. Sea views extend from every room, and villa categories add a private pool with a sun terrace. Interiors combine local decor with a coastal twist, and the small number of units keeps guest counts low.
Dining & Breakfast
Complimentary welcome drinks await on arrival, and breakfast uses local, fresh ingredients with homemade daily treats. The hotel has 2 restaurants, including a dining room serving Mediterranean, Portuguese, and seafood cuisine, plus the adjacent 90 Degrees restaurant. A bar, snack bar, and coffee house on site provide wine/champagne and special diet menus.

Madalena do Mar Beach is a 14-minute walk from the hotel, and Cristiano Ronaldo Madeira International Airport is 43 km away.
