A note before you settle in.

Your top-floor suite is ready. This little guide has everything you need — codes, hours, and our favorite spots around Madeira.

Villa Martha sits on the south coast of Madeira, a few minutes above the village of Ponta do Sol. The mornings here are quiet, the afternoons are bright, and the sunsets — well, you'll see.

Your apartment is on the top floor of a five-unit building. You'll share the pool and the garden with the other guests, but you'll have your own kitchen, balcony, and pace.

Anything you need — message Leonel on WhatsApp. We'd much rather hear from you than have you wonder.

Local favorites.

Our go-to spots in Ponta do Sol and along Madeira's west coast — all personally recommended, none of them tourist traps.

In Ponta do Sol

01In Town

The Old Pharmacy

Tapas · Wine · Brunch
The restaurant that started it all. Set in the building of Ponta do Sol's original pharmacy, it serves tapas, cheese boards, and wine in a charming alley just off the beach. The drink menu is playfully named after remedies. Perfect for a lazy afternoon or pre-dinner drinks.

Steak & Sun

Steakhouse · Seafood · Fine Dining
Right next door to The Old Pharmacy, same group. Go here for a proper dinner — premium cuts (Black Angus ribeye, tomahawk), fresh local fish, and an excellent wine list. Stylish interior, intimate setting. Reservation recommended.

Sun Spot Café

Beach Café · Casual · Sunsets
Literally on the beach. Go here for morning coffee, a casual lunch, or sundowner drinks with the Atlantic right in front of you. Great calamari and octopus. One of the best sunset spots on the island.

Jardim do Mar

A tiny, jaw-dropping coastal hamlet tucked beneath towering cliffs. One of the most beautiful spots on the island. Walk the seafront path, grab a drink at a local bar, and let it sink in.

A Madeira ritual
08~40 min drive

Poncha do Emanuel

Bar · Traditional Drink
Poncha is Madeira's most iconic drink — sugarcane brandy, lemon or orange, and honey, stirred with a carved wooden tool. Emanuel's is widely considered the best on the island. He makes every drink by hand in front of you. Try the maracujá (passion fruit) or rosemary. A true taste of Madeiran culture — don't skip it.
