Sentido Galosol in Detail

Your Wellness & Active Hotel

The freshly renovated Sentido Galosol is part of an approximately 14,000 sqm resort, comprising three hotels (Sentido Galosol, Sentido Galomar & Alpino Atlântico Ayurveda Hotel). Sentido Galosol is perfect for relaxation or active recreation, such as hiking. Its unique seaside location provides the ideal backdrop for your holiday in Madeira.

Location & Surroundings

Located in one of the most beautiful spots in the south of Madeira, amidst the tranquil villa district of Caniço de Baixo, is the Hotel Sentido Galosol. The bay is just about 2.5 km from the centre of Caniço and is situated on the climatically favoured side of the island. The centre of Funchal is approximately 12 km away, and the airport is about 8 km away.

Dining & Leisure

Enjoy regional and international dishes at the buffet restaurant "Ondamar" with a terrace. Here, a rich breakfast and, with half board, dinner are served. At the "Blue Bar", with full board, an additional lunch menu (starter, main course, dessert) is available. Traditional Madeiran cuisine is served at the specialty à la carte restaurant "Atlantis", and Italian cuisine can be enjoyed at a pizzeria (at an additional cost). Additionally, you can savour fresh drinks at the pool bar and at the "Capoeira Bar" with a stunning sea view. Also available are local, organic, lactose-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan cuisine upon request.

Wellness & Spa

Relax at both the outdoor pool and on the sun terrace with sea view, as well as in the indoor wellness area featuring an indoor pool (approx. 28°C), Finnish and bio sauna, steam bath, and sensorial showers. The wellness area of the neighbouring sister hotel Sentido Galomar includes two panoramic saunas, an infrared cabin, and a steam bath. Additionally, the resort's own bathing cove "Lido Galomar" in the underwater nature reserve with direct sea access and a seawater pool (accessible by lift or stairs) is freely available to all resort guests.

The Ashoka Spa (approx. 400 sqm, open daily) in the neighbouring Sentido Galomar, inspired by nature and the five elements, offers a variety of massages, beauty and energy treatments, and was selected as one of the top 3 spas in the 'Green Spa' category at the Spa Star Awards 2019.

Fitness & Courses

At the professional Galo Active Fitness Club, spanning approximately 2,500 sqm, you have access to cardio and strength equipment. You can also book a qualified personal trainer (for a fee, approx. €45 (approx. UK £39 / USD $48) per hour). Additionally, you can participate in a sports programme with over 40 classes per week, such as Zumba, Step, Spinning, Pilates, Yoga, or Nordic Walking (some at a small fee). There is also a sports hall, squash, a volleyball court, and a basketball court (reservable on request, for a fee). A tennis court is located just outside the facility, about 500m away (for a fee).
