Saccharum in Detail

Your Wellness Hotel

The luxurious 5-star Saccharum Resort, nestled in a tranquil bay on the southwest coast of Madeira, not only focuses on wellness and sustainability but also impresses with stunning Atlantic views and culinary delights. The stylish decor, influenced by the site's history as a former sugarcane mill, blends modern design with traditional charm to create perfect harmony. The hotel is located by the sea and is just about a 25-minute drive from the island's capital, Funchal. In 2025, the hotel was awarded the Green Key sustainability label.

When booking the Savoy Premium Experience (SPE), enjoy enhanced inclusive services (€80 per person per night, included with selected room categories, for more information see below).

Dining & Leisure

Saccharum boasts 7 restaurants and bars. As a tribute to the hotel's origins, the decor in most areas features antique machinery and metals once used for distilling liquids like rum.

The breakfast buffet (7:30-10:30 a.m.) and, for half or full board, the lunch and dinner buffets are served at the 'Engenho Restaurant' with sea view. At 'Alambique', you can explore the local cuisine of Madeira, while 'Trapiche Restaurant & Pool Bar' on the rooftop terrace offers light meals. The resort's commitment to sustainability is evident in its kitchens, which primarily use fresh and regional ingredients, including vegetables from the hotel's own garden, and a focus on seasonal dishes.

Additionally, the hotel features the 'Calhau Beach Club' with direct sea access, the rooftop 'Fly Lounge Bar' with live music, and the 'Garapa Bar' at the Adults Only pool.

Wellness & Spa

Escape everyday life at the Saccharum Spa (ages 16+, 10 a.m.-8 p.m.) with a heated indoor spa pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, ice fountain, sensorial showers, halotherapy room, and relaxation room. Relax in the soothing atmosphere and let the qualified Saccharum Spa team pamper you. In 4 treatment suites, the team offers a variety of holistic treatments inspired by traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

Spa access is included for guests of the Savoy Premium Experience and on the day of a booked treatment.

Fitness & Courses

The hotel offers a fully equipped gym with sea view (7 a.m.-10 p.m.). Yoga, Pilates, meditation, or Tai Chi classes are offered several times a week in the Fly Lounge Bar or at the Calhau Beach Club (approx. €15/person, included for SPE guests). Personal training can be booked on-site (approx. €60/hour). A squash court is available subject to availability (approx. €15/hour, included for SPE guests), equipment rental (approx. €22).

Pool Area

Enjoy sunny hours at the three outdoor pools with umbrellas and loungers. One is an Adults Only pool, one an infinity pool, and one accessible for families with children. On cooler days, the heated indoor pool offers a great alternative.

Free Time

A shuttle bus takes you daily from the hotel to downtown Funchal (approx. €30/person round trip, included for SPE guests). Explore the island's capital on your own and, for instance, visit the Cristiano Ronaldo Museum. The hotel also offers excursions to the surrounding areas (for a fee), such as to Pico de Areeiro or a bus tour through Calheta. Additionally, selected activities are offered free of charge at the hotel (e.g., Portuguese lessons).
