Rarely has a hotel of such youth fashioned a reputation of such standing. A member of ‘design hotels’, what Choupana Hills Resort & Spa may lack in heritage it certainly compensates for in aesthetic appeal. Resting on a verdant promontory, high above Funchal City, overlooking the azure Atlantic waters, Choupana Hills is a sublime haven truly inspired by nature, enveloping guests in tranquillity and calm from the moment of arrival. Sharing the same architect as the world acclaimed Datai hotel in Malaysia, Asian architectural influences abound with dark wood and natural stone creating a Zen-like ambience.
A boutique hotel, each of the 58 deluxe rooms and four suites is located in stilted bungalows interspersed amongst the hotel’s gardens, pathways and terraces. Contemporary in design, all guest rooms feature a large wooden veranda commanding views across the city and ocean or towards the sub-tropical grounds. Why not upgrade to a suite and enjoy a sunset cocktail from the privacy of your heated outdoor Jacuzzi? Satellite television, DVD, internet access and Nespresso Coffee Machines are standard facilities in all rooms.
Pioneering exotic cuisine awaits at Xôpana restaurant where magnificent wooden pillars and rich decor ensure that eating is not the only pleasure. By day the Basalt bar and Pool bar offer a choice of healthy light meals and replenishing drinks, the former also providing an idyllic location for a post dinner digestif under the stars.

Choupana Hills lays claim to an enviable number of internationally acknowledged accolades including recognition of the hotel’s outstanding Spa facilities. Serenity reaches its peak at the Elemis Health and Beauty Spa, offering an enticing menu of treatments to soothe body and mind. Indulge in a hydro, aromatherapy or hot stone massage or simply relax in the authentic Turkish steam bath (Hamman), sauna or indoor pool with jet massage and Jacuzzi effect. If such indulgence leaves you feeling a little guilty, both Santo da Serra and Palheiro golf courses are within 20 minutes drive, offering challenging golf in a spectacular setting. The hotel provides regular courtesy transport to the centre of Funchal where a host of epicurean and retail delights await. Alternatively explore this verdant island on foot encountering natural tunnels, spectacular waterfalls and quaint tea gardens across the awe-inspiring levada walking system, with the world famous Levada dos Tornos its way through the resort.
